## Brief of the Scheme 'Development of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs)'

Since PVTGs are the most vulnerable tribal community, it becomes necessary to allocate adequate funds from Central Sector/ Centrally Sponsored and State Plan schemes for the socioeconomic development of PVTGs.    In 1998-99, a separate 100% Central Sector Scheme for exclusive development of PVTGs was started,   and  the scheme was revised w.e.f. 1 st April, 2015.  The scheme covers 75 identified Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups among Scheduled Tribes in 18 States/ UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands.  The scheme is flexible as it enables the States  to  focus  on  areas  that  they  consider  is  relevant  to  PVTGs  and  their  socio-cultural environment. Activities under it include housing, land distribution, land development, agricultural  development,  animal  husbandry,  construction  of  link  roads,  installation  of  nonconventional sources of energy for lighting purpose, social security including Janshree Beema Yojana or any other innovative activity meant for the comprehensive socio-economic development  of  PVTGs.    Most  of  the  State  Governments  and  the  UT  of  A&N  Islands  have formulated a 'Conservation-cum-Development (CCD) Plan' for the Twelfth Plan period keeping habitat/hamlet development approach in view and in the format prescribed by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. The CCD Plans indicate the annual provisions for each financial year and also the agency involved in implementation of that activity.  The State Government/UT Administration have been asked to ensure proportionate flow of financial resource for all PVTGs found in their State and the activities to be taken with a proper mix of interventions through the State/UT of A&N Islands.  The funds are released to States/UT in accordance with the annual programme proposed for a particular financial year in the CCD Plan.
