## Statement referred  to  in  reply  to  Lok  Sabha  Starred  Question  No.*38  for  answer  on 18.12.2017 asked by Shri P. Karunakaran:

(a) & (b): Earmarking  of funds for  STs was  done by the concerned Ministries/ Departments against their Plan allocation under the broad strategies of Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) as per the criteria recommended by the Task Force, 2010. The Task Force constituted by the erstwhile Planning Commission had recommended for differential earmarking i.e. earmarking at  different  rates  by  the  Ministries  /  Departments  and  only  against  their  plan  outlay  as  at Annexure 1 . After merger of Plan and Non-Plan, Ministry of Finance has stipulated percentage for  earmarking  of  Scheduled  Tribe  Component  (STC)  funds  for  the  Central  Ministries  / Department as at Annexure 2 .

As far as allocation of TSP funds by State Governments is concerned, the funds under TSP are to be earmarked from the total plan outlays not less than the population proportion of STs in State as per 2011 Census.

A statement showing earmarking of TSP funds by the Central Government Ministries / Departments vis-à-vis total plan outlay is at Annexure 3 .  A  statement  showing  State  wise percentage of ST Population, total plan outlay, TSP Allocation and percentage allocation of TSP as per records available with Ministry of Tribal Affairs is at Annexure 4 .
