House sites at the rate of 3 cents per individual was given with effect from 1981-82 under the Central Land Acquisition Act. During the year 1990-91 this scheme has been extended to all Most Backward Classes / Denotified Communities.
Since difficulties were faced in implanting the scheme under the Central Act, during the year 1994 a district Level Committee under the Chairmanship of District Collector was constituted to purchase lands through private negotiation with the land owners. The committee is empowered to negotiate with the private land owners for fixing the land value and to complete the land acquisition process for issue of free house site pattas.
The scheme of issue of free house site patta was also extended to all the poor Backward Classes and Other Communities during the year 1997.
