Policies / Strategy

 

The Three pronged strategy for developing / clearing slums followed by tamil nadu Slum Clearance Board are:

 

i)    In - Situ plotted development and infrastructure improvement

 

Whereever In-situ plotted development is feasible, such slums are identified and taken up for in-situ improvement for provision of absic facilities to make the areas habitable and for provision of tenurial rights to the occupiers after getting the land transferred to the tamilnadu slum clearance Board.

 

ii) In-situ tenemental schemes

 

The slums located in unobjectionable poramboke areas, wherein equitable distribution of space to all is not feasible, are cleared and tenemental (public housing) schemes put up.

 

iii) Rehabilitation and Resettlement scheme

 

Wherever neither tenemental nor insitu development is feasible, (as in the case of objectionable porambokes like water ways etc.,) Rehabilitation and Resettlement in tenements in nearby locations with necessary infrastructure is taken up. The cleared site is then restored to its original use.

 

Other Programmes

 

i)      Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board has provided support to individual housing schemes under different programmes like VAMBAY, Rajiv Gandhi

 

Rehabilitation Package etc.,

 

ii)   To ensure holistic development and economic upliftment of the poor, the Board has spear-headed community development activities in the slums, under which it imparts vocational training and livelihood support, specially for the youth and women.
