Community villages for SC/ST
Special Correspondent
Revenue Minister K.P. Rajendran said on Monday that community villages
would be developed in all districts for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes.
The Minister was replying to the debate on the demands for grants for
Land Revenue, District Administration and Miscellaneous and Relief on
Account of Natural Calamities in the Assembly.
Mr. Rajendran said the villages were planned as part of various
housing schemes being implemented for the Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes. The villages would have all the basic amenities
besides housing. The first village would come up in Kasaragod
district.
The Minister announced that the government proposed to bring in
legislation for a social security scheme covering people affected by
land acquisitions.
He said the distribution of titles deeds to all eligible settlers and
tribespeople would be completed by the end of this year. Altogether
1.5 lakh titles were being granted. The demand for full
transferability of the titles would be discussed with the legal
experts and stakeholders. A solution would be worked out.
He said money had been released in advance to District Collectors to
deal with calamities during the monsoon. Assistance was being provided
to the next of kin of those killed by lightning also though such
assistance did not come under Central norms.
He said the government had identified 50 ferries to be replaced with
bridges. Work on bridges at 29 crossing points had started.
After the Minister's reply, the House passed the demands for grants in
the absence of the Opposition which had boycotted the fag end of the
sitting.
