A statement showing State wise percentage of ST Population, total plan outlay, TSP Allocation and Expenditure during last three years i.e. 2014-15 to 2016-17 is at Annexure 2 .
- (b) A performance audit of the TSP was taken up by the C&AG in 2015. Two major sectors i.e. Education and Health were taken up for auditing. The period of coverage was 2010-2011 to 2013-2014.  Audit found some cases of diversion of TSP funds, as well as spending in ineligible States like Punjab and Haryana.

(c)  &  (d):  Implementation  of  Schemes  under  TSP  is  the  sole  responsibility  of  the  respective Central  Ministries  /  Departments  and  State  Government.    No  such  proposal  for  enacting  a legislation for non-diversion of annual sanctioned budget under the TSP is under considerationof the Ministry. However, Allocation of Business Rules (ABR) has been amended in January, 2017 whereby  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  (MoTA)  has  been  given  mandate  for  monitoring  of  STC funds of Central Ministries based on the framework and mechanism designed by NITI Aayog. An  online  monitoring  system  has  been  put  in  place  by  the  Ministry  with  web  address http://stcmis.gov.in since 2017. The framework envisages monitoring of allocations for welfare of  STs  under  the  schemes,  monitoring  of  expenditure  vis-à-vis  allocations,  monitoring  of physical performance and outcome monitoring. Further, nodal officer has been nominated in the line  Ministries  /  Departments  for  coordination  and  monitoring.  Ministry  /  Department-wise performance shall be reviewed jointly by MoTA and NITI Aayog.
