## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION.

(RAO INDERJIT SINGH)

(a) & (b) The allocation of funds for the welfare of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) including Mid-Day Meals, Scholarships etc. were provided by the respective Central Ministries/Departments and the States/UTs under the Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP). The TSP strategy was started in the year 1974 and SCSP in 1979. The details of Plan-wise Central and States/UTs' allocation and  expenditure  under  SCSP  and  TSP,  as  available,  since  launching  of  the  two  Sub-Plans  are  given  at Annexure-I.

(c) to (e) Guidelines for formulation, implementation and monitoring of the SCSP and TSP are issued to the Central Ministries/Departments and States / UTs from time to time obligating them for earmarking of funds for SCSP and TSP and also to utilize the same in the priority areas  with quantifiable benefits for the SCs  and  STs . So  far  as  Central  Ministries/Departments  are  concerned  earmarking  of  funds  is as recommended by the Task Force Chaired by Dr. Narendra Jadhav, Member, erstwhile Planning Commission.
