Property Records.
This project shall be taken up to make a data base of the properties including
households in the villages. It shall be done with the help of Geographical
Information System. This is necessary in the light of the fact that the House
Tax is imposed in the villages. Therefore, if proper record of the properties
is there, this House Tax can be imposed with ease and it shall help in enhancing

the property litigation. This project shall also include mapping of panchayat
properties which shall help in preventing any encroachments by the villagers.
2. Survey of BPL families.

we are not aware of the number of BPL families and hence are not able to avail
various schemes of Govt. of India under poverty alleviation programmes. The
survey shall be carried out in all the villages to identify the BPL families.
This shall be useful in identification of the beneficiaries under different
schemes of the GOI like Sampuran Gramin Rozgar Yojana, National Rural
employment Guarantee Programme and Swaran Jayanti Rozgar Yojana etc. It
shall help in enhancing the income generation activities to the BPL families for
raising their standard of living.

Rural Business Hubs
The Govt. of India has chalked out a strategy for developing Rural Business Hubs
in the villages involving Agro-processing, Handicrafts and Handlooms etc. As
far as U.T. Chandigarh is concerned, the dairy and dairy products, pottery,
carpet making etc. have good scope in the rural area of Chandigarh. These can be
promoted by establishing rural business hubs. We propose to tie up with the CII,
which is working with Govt. to promote this concept.
