  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. IAY Status

  9. 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
