Homestead and Housing • Feb 2011 • BHUBANESWAR
About Rural Development Institute • RDI, a not for profit organization, works to secure land rights to the poorest in sub-Saharan Africa, China and India • Support and partner with national/state governments • In Odisha, work with Government to ensure homestead land to all • Convergence : Homestead + • Scaling with Government programs like OTELP and TRIPTI (Proposed)
Structure of Presentation • Status and issues around homestead land allocation - Assessment (10) and pilot (3) • Homestead and housing • Window through the IAY Land Purchase 2009 • Working with the State (district wise) proposal
Homestead allocation – Assessment and Pilot • Assessment in 88 sample villages in 10 districts - pilot in 36 villages in 3 districts • People did not receive patta to current house sites, unwilling to relocate, allotted house sites are not identified or demarcated • About 40% of households do not have secured rights over homestead land (either not included in Vasundhara and not living on allotted land) • Acute revenue staffs shortage - paucity of time to undertake fresh enumeration to assess the extent of homesteadlessness
Homestead allocation – Assessment and Pilot • Identify and build local capacities to support field level revenue officials to initiate fresh enumeration of homesteadless-ness • A local capacity is a literate youth from the village/GP – willing to work for the community and carries its confidence • Provides the much needed additional support to the Revenue Inspector to expedite allocation through developing a village inventory on homesteadless-ness
Homestead allocation – Assessment and Pilot • On an average in a village, about 20 % of all households are homesteadless and are eligible for allocation of homestead land • In the pilot villages, CRPs are able to identify about 1270 homesteadless households • Average cost per allocation about 150/INR - average time taken by CRP per allocation 2 days • Leasable households are roughly 30%, rest being objectionable land requires varied degrees of revenue intervention
Homestead development • Homestead land allocation provides a window for supplementary food and income, nutritional security, boosts family and women’s status and improved standard of living • Preferred size of homestead is 10 decimals • Homestead serves as place for house, and for home garden • Homestead garden is managed by family using low amounts of capital • Convergence of existing program and interventions
Indira Awas Yojana…issues needing attention • Study in 10 districts on Vasundhara – 80% patta holders have not relocated to the plot as they haven’t seen the land • When families didn’t have access to allotted land, they have constructed house on their existing plot that is mostly objectionale land • Housing as an incentive/mechanism to reduce homesteadlessness – though families are ready to relocate but are without housing (IAY) • Though homestead patta is a condition for getting IAY, there is no link between Vasundhara program and IAY • Low coverage – about 12% (200 out of 1664) • Of the remaining, about 60% are BPL who could access IAY LP 2009 • Mo Kudia numbers are very less needs additional budget allocation to address the remianing
Scheme for Homestead Plots…homestead sites to all by 2012 • Unit Assistance per Beneficiary • Rs. 10,000 or actual, whichever is less • For purchase / acquisition of 100-250 sq. mt. • To be shared in ratio of 50:50 in the states / UTs • If amount falls short, balance amount to be contributed by states • Incentivising states • Additional funds under IAY to the extent of plots alloted by way of regularization / allotment of Govt. land / purchase / acquistion

Incentive for Government of Odisha • Govt. of Odisha need not allocate additional funds (50% state share) under land purchase component of the scheme as allocation of house-sites (under OGLS) and regularization (under OPLE) ongoing in the state • State Government gets incentivised to the extent plots alloted by way of regularization / allotment of Govt.
