The Karnataka state government has launched the Buddha Basava Ambedkar Site Allotment Scheme to provide housing sites for homeless individuals from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) communities. Minister Satish Jarkiholi announced the approval of a pilot project aimed at identifying, developing, and distributing plots on government land to address the growing housing shortage faced by these communities. Previously, the government provided agricultural land to SC and ST families, but due to increasing urbanization and rising land prices, purchasing plots for housing has become increasingly difficult for poor families. This initiative seeks to alleviate that burden and improve living conditions for marginalized groups in Karnataka.
