## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SHRI JASWANTSINH BHABHOR)

- (a):    Government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy for overall development of tribal people across the country, which includes support for education, health, sanitation, water supply, skill development, livelihood etc. Major part of infrastructure development and provision of basic amenities in tribal areas/regions in the country is carried out through various schemes/programmes of concerned Central Ministries and the State Governments concerned including  Madhya  Pradesh,  while  the  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  provides  additive  to  these initiatives  by  way  of  plugging  critical  gaps.  A  list  of  important  Schemes/Programmes implemented by the Ministry is at Annexure I.
- (b) Financial assistance is provided to the State Governments including Government of Madhya Pradesh  under  Special  Central  Assistance  to  Tribal  Sub-Scheme  (SCA  to  TSS  against  the proposal of activities for welfare of STs received from them for plugging critical gap in the sectors  of  education,  health,  livelihood,  agriculture,  irrigation,  skill  development,  housing, roads, electricity, sanitation, clean drinking water, etc. The formulation of proposal and the implementation thereof is the responsibility of the State Government. Government has adopted a  Tribal  Sub-Plan  (TSP)  Strategy  (now  called  as  Schedule  Tribe  Component)  for  overall development of tribal people across the country, which include support for education, health, power,  roads,  sanitation,  water  supply,  livelihood  etc.  The  major  part  of  infrastructural development activities and provision of basic amenities is carried out through various schemes /  programmes  of  concerned  Central  Ministries  and  the  State  Governments.  A  statement showing earmarking of TSP funds by the Central Government Ministries / Departments vis-àvis  total  plan  outlay  is  at Annexure II .  A  statement  showing  State  wise  percentage  of  ST Population, total plan outlay, TSP Allocation and percentage allocation of TSP is at Annexure III.

Over the years, the Central and State Governments have been taking various initiatives for socio-economic upliftment of tribal populations of the country. The efforts have brought out some  improvement  for  tribals  in  terms  of  various  indices  relating  to  housing,  sanitation, literacy,  health,  livelihood,  clean  drinking  water  etc.  However,  there  is  still  a  gap  in  the facilities available to Scheduled Tribes vis-vis other groups as reflected in census 2011.
