DINDIGUL: Around 900 beneficiaries under the Kalaignarin Kanavu Illam do not have patta land in Dindigul district. Tribals who have been selected as beneficiaries have sought housing sites near their habitat, as their livelihood depends on the Sirumalai forest area. According to official records, around 4,095 beneficiaries were selected and deemed eligible for construction of houses under the KKI, but around 989 beneficiaries do not own patta land. Beneficiaries have been selected under this scheme, provided they possess patta land or ownership documents for the site. Speaking to TNIE, an official from District Rural Development Agency said, "We are aware that all beneficiaries are from poor family backgrounds and some of them are daily wagers with inconsistent earnings.
