- (c) & (d): Amongst  other  interventions,  construction  of  hostels  is  supported  under  the  MoTA's Schemes of 'SCA to TSS' and 'Grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution of India' based on the proposals  received  from  the  State  Governments.  The  proposals  received  from  State  Governments  are appraised and approved by the Project Appraisal Committee (PAC) in the Ministry for funding depending upon the availability of funds under the relevant scheme(s). There is no proposal pending with the Ministry for construction of new Hostels in Kerala under these schemes.
