Jagananna Smart Towns MIG Layouts Comprehensive Guidelines GO 76 Dated 28.7.2021

The Government hereby issue following comprehensive guidelines for developing well planned MIG layouts/ Jagananna Smart Townships by the Development Authorities in the State
G.O. MS. No. 76 Dated: 28-07-2021

The Government have observed that, middle class people are approaching Real Estate developers and purchasing plots in unapproved layouts and thereby resulting in haphazard growth of town and cities leading to legal disputes, traffic problems and lack of lung space, physical and social infrastructure etc.

2. In order to promote planned/integrated developments of various towns by providing the basic infrastructure facilities and to address the aspirations of Middle-Income Group for quality housing and allied Infrastructure by ensuring availability of clear title residential plots at affordable prices, the Government in G.O 2nd and 6th read above have issued certain guidelines for developing well planned MIG layouts/ Jagananna Smart Townships by the Development Authorities in the State.

3. Based on the above guidelines, preliminary demand survey was conducted and it is noticed that there is an overwhelming response to the Scheme and received about 3.79 Lakh applications. In the light of such response, during several reviews, the District Collectors and the Urban Development Authorities have suggested to include various modes of Project Execution so as to maximize the outreach of the Scheme and also increase the affordability of the House Sites for the MIG Sections. At the same time, it is also essential to have uniformity in the pattern of layouts and standardized procedures for the Scheme, for having an integrated project approach, which will optimize costs to the Government and better transparency to the Scheme.

4. The Revenue Department has been consulted in the matter and they were requested to issue necessary notifications to declare the “development of well planned layouts” as public purpose under relevant rules and acts.

5. In the reference 8th read above, orders were issued declaring the “development of well planned Middle Income Group(MIG) layouts” as public purpose under section 2 (d) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (Central Act 30 of 2013).

6. Similarly in the G.O 10th read above, orders were issued notifying the “development of well planned Middle Income Group(MIG) layouts” as public purpose under clause 3(a) of GO Ms.No.571, Revenue Dept., Dt.14.09.2012.

7. Further, vide G.O 9th read above, orders were issued authorizing all the District Collectors in the State to handover advance possession of suitable and vacant Government land to Municipal Administration & Urban Development Department directly subject to pending regular alienation. Further, the District Collectors were also authorized to resume the unutilised Government lands on the grounds of violation of conditions or non-utilisation of the allotted land which was earlier alienated in favour of Government organisations/ Government departments / Public Sector Undertakings/State Government Corporations/Urban Development Authorities & Urban Local Bodies on the grounds of violation of conditions or non-utilisation of the alienated lands in terms of G.O.MS.No.57, Revenue (Assn.I) Department, Dated 16-02-2015 and they are further authorised to utilise the lands acquired by various Government departments/organisations for any public purpose but not put into use for the same purpose. These lands shall be utilised for developing well planned MIG layouts/Jagananna Smart Townships.
