One of the most successful initiative of Govt of West Bengal, pattas of homestead land of three kathas, known as NGNB, extended benefits to 7503 homeless and landless poor families in Burdwan district till 31st March 2013.
- NGNB was launched in January 2012 with target of covering all land less in two years.
- We identified 9100 families in rural areas through intensive field surveys last year and enlisted them for benefits under NGNB.
- In 2011-12 last quarter only we could provide pattas of vested Govt lands to 1150 families.
- In 2012-13 financial year we could cover record number of 5353 families throughout Burdwan district and 1000 further pattas are being distributed in April 2013.
- All sincere efforts are being taken to cover rest 1600 families and more to be identified subsequently through field verifications by May 2013.
- So, Burdwan is all set to achieve its target in record 18 months time.
- NGNB beneficiaries have also been provided grants to construct houses under IAY, Geetanjali, Amar Thikana and other rural housing schemes.
- We constructed 14048 IAY houses, 521 Geetanjali and 1200 Amar thikana houses last year where substantial number of NGNB patta holders were covered.
- Reviewed the performance of scheme with Sdos and Bdos on 12th April 2013 at VC room Burdwan. Instructions issued to extend benefits of credit schemes, SHGs and social welfare schemes to these beneficiaries.
We appreciate the best performance of this scheme in Burdwan and look forward to cover all eligible persons on vested lands available and to be resumed from illegal encroachments/ possession. Applications may be sent to BLLRO by any interested but eligible person to enlist.
Well done Team Burdwan.
