TAMILNADU SLUM CLEARANCE BOARD
NEED FOR IT ?
A shelter with basic amenities is the most essential need of a human being. The influx into the city was caused primarily due to the unskilled labourers from the neighbouring rural areas entering into the city in search of jobs. Due to lack of required skills and their meagre income, they occupy vacant Government poramboke/private lands near their work place and put up hutments. These settlements generally lack proper sanitation facilities resulting in kutcha houses amidst unhygienic surroundings and develop into slums. The slums continue to proliferate due to population growth and continued migration from rural areas. It is in this context, the TNSCB was set up with the objective for clearance and improvement of slum areas.
