NGNB scheme was launched in January 2012 in the West Bengal state where vested land of 3 katha (5 decimal approximately) can be allotted to Landless and Homeless poor families in rural areas by the Collector on recommendation of Land Development and Monitoring Committee headed by SDO. In Burdwan district the survey of landless families revealed more than 8500 homeless and accordingly NGNB Pattas were prepared and distributed to these poor families. So far, 2605 NGNB Patta issued covering an area of 88.20 acres of land. This is the highest coverage of Landless and Homeless families in any district in short span of only seven months. We hope to cover all the families identified and to be identified by the end of this financial year.
Apart from land, benefits for housing under IAY scheme or state housing department schemes like Gitanjali for minorities, Amar Thikana of Panchayat department etc have been extended. While 146 houses are under construction, proposals for fund allotment for 1200 houses sent to State Govt.
Planned development of basic infrastructure of road, drainage, kitchen garden, street lights and pond excavation etc has also been arranged in these villages where lands for house construction has been allotted. Good scheme initiated and very good response in Burdwan district.

It's really amazing Sir, We have identified a good no. of beneficiaries, but failed to get the required land. I have taken some measures of publicity that Govt. will purchase land, as per guideline. Initial results show it will be fruitful as responses are coming. Thank you for your inspiration Sir.
Direct purchase is discouraged. You may stop agri patta and allow only ngnb on vested lands
