The Central Government will provide 50 per cent of the project cost, the State 40 per cent and the beneficiaries 10 per cent. The apartments will be of 400 sq ft with fans and lights. The construction work was supposed to be started after getting clearance from Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA).
