In a recent move, the Tamil Nadu state government has earmarked Rs 79.28 crore to construct 1,500 homes, addressing the housing needs of the Scheduled Tribes (ST) and the Narikuravar communities. This initiative aims to accommodate 1,000 homeless members of the Scheduled Tribes and another 500 from the Narikuravar community. These beneficiaries are scattered across 19 districts in Tamil Nadu.
The housing grant was formalized with a government order (G.O.), ensuring that the promised homes will be delivered to the eligible recipients at the soonest possible time. The commitment to erect 1,000 houses for the ST community and 500 for the Narikuravars was initially articulated by the minister for Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare, N Kavalvizhi Selvaraj, during a session in the state assembly.
Interestingly, while the project's initial allocation was set at Rs 45 crore for the construction of these homes, a subsequent assessment of the requirements and costs led to an increase in budget, culminating in the finalized sum of Rs 79 crore.
Historically, members of the Narikuravars and many Scheduled Tribes have led a semi-nomadic life. This government's initiative is a part of a broader strategy to transition these communities into a more settled lifestyle. In addition to housing, the state has been offering them land pattas, which are essentially land rights.
Adding weight to these efforts, Chief Minister M K Stalin recently distributed land pattas to Narikuravars in the Vellore district. Parallelly, several non-governmental organizations, in partnership with the state Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, and district administrations, have initiated housing projects. These are not just about providing shelter but also enhance the life quality of the tribals. These programs aim at offering them permanent employment opportunities and supporting them in entrepreneurial ventures.
In conclusion, the Tamil Nadu government's decision to allocate a significant sum for the housing of historically nomadic communities marks a progressive step towards their societal inclusion and welfare. By ensuring stable homes and the promise of better livelihoods, the state is setting a precedent in addressing long-standing disparities and moving towards a more equitable society.
