Analytical Notes
⚑ Analytical Note: The housing programme is already largely funded and in execution — this is a continuation commitment. The citizenship advocacy proposals are important humanitarian commitments but entirely dependent on Union Government action. Tamil Nadu has limited constitutional authority here beyond advocacy.
