HOUSING SCHEMES.
25. Subject to the provisions of this Act and subject to the control of the State Government the Board may incur expenditure and undertake works in such rural area as the State Government may by notification in the Official Gazette specify for the framing and execution of such housing schemes, including the housing schemes administered by the Social Welfare department of the State Government at the commencement of this Act, as it may consider necessary from time to time or as may be entrusted to it by the State Government.
26. If the Board while framing a housing scheme in respect of a rural area considers it necessary for the purpose of construction of houses under the scheme to include in the scheme a part of an area which is contiguous to such rural area but which is not a rural area, then, notwithstanding anything contained in section 25 or any other law for the time being in force, it shall be lawful for the Board, with the previous approval of the State Government to include in the scheme such part and thereupon the part shall be deemed to be a rural area for the purposes of the scheme.
