Chennai:
Tamil Nadu government has started the process of conducting the demand survey for housing, which is a pre-requisite for getting funds from Centre under the Housing for All project.
Sources revealed that top officials from Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO), director of town panchayats, commissioner of municipal administration and commissioner of Greater Chennai corporation would take part in a high-level meeting to be held on Monday to discuss the demand assessment to identify beneficiaries under Housing for All project.
It is learnt that 157 town panchayats in 29 districts would benefit from the project. The state, which has signed a memorandum of understanding with Union government, has to conduct a demand survey for assessing the actual housing requirement. It is a basic necessity following which the state has to come out with Housing for All Plan of Action.
A report was already submitted earlier this month by directorate of town panchayats citing the project cost as well as beneficiaries. It is learnt that directorate of town panchayats has estimated Rs 253 crore in building 10,000 units in 157 town panchayats in 29 districts.
Initially, the survey on the demand for housing to be carried out by the state government was delayed due to lack of data. It was learnt that the housing secretary has written a letter to the Census commissioner seeking the census data.
Slum Clearance Board is currently in possession of Socio-Economic Caste Census data which was obtained from National Informatic centre. But to get the latest status of people it is relying on the National Population Register
