lands during the loan recovery process. In addition, the KSLB will buy land from the open market to reduce forced sale by the landowners in the state. The KSLB will then prepare a comprehensive list of salable (units of 5 cents each) lands, which will be available for landless people with visions for the development of rural areas and will be published on the land bank's website. The quota of allotment will be as per Kerala Land Assignment Rules which curb the misuse of such allotted land. The quota for each category will be fixed based on the economic and social background of the applicant and after being cleared by the respective Taluk Land Assignment Committees (TLAC). However, the proposal is still under consideration of the government. Surveillance and protection The KSLB, with its own machinery and with the help of local revenue officials, is undertaking the surveillance activities of the government lands. The creation of a Public Land Protection Force (PLPF) is currently at the final stage of implementation. The personnel from PLPF and the Village Officers will sign the Beat Registers to be maintained at monthly intervals so as to assure two inspections to a site in a month. A 24x7 toll-free number is available for reporting encroachments of public lands by the general public and also to inform about the government lands which are left out from inclusion in the website. It is proposed to make the toll free number an interactive voice response system (IVRS) during the annual plan period 2012–13. Protection of government lands is also being done by erecting boards and by erecting live and non-living fences around the sites.
