Kochouseph Chittilappilly, industrialist and philanthropist, and P.B. Sameer, expatriate businessman from Nellikkuzhi, said they were happy to be part of the LIFE Mission programme, which aims to provide land for the landless to build houses. They were speaking at a programme in which documents were signed between the State government and the K. Chittilappilly Foundation, which has offered ₹25 crore for providing ₹2.5 lakh each to a 1,000 people.
“It is a big day for me,” said Mr. Chittilappilly. Mr. Sameer, who bought 50 cents of land to be donated towards the LIFE Mission, said he was happy and proud to be part of the programme. He said he had approached Nellikkuzhi panchayat president P.M. Majeed about six months ago and land was identified for purchase.
The third phase of LIFE Mission aims to provide land to 2.5 lakh landless people in three years. From then on, one lakh plots would be given to the landless every year, said Local Self-Governments Minister M.V. Govindan. The function also marked the handing over of the documents related to the land donated by Mr. Sameer.
