- (a) Yes, Madam.  State/UT wise list of Scheduled Tribes in the country is given at Annexure-1.

(b) There are 75 total number of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) identified in the Country.

State-wise population of PVTGs is given at Annexure-2.

(c) The total population of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in Jharkhand is 292359 which is 3.38 % of the total ST population of Jharkhand.

(d) & (e) The Ministry is implementing the scheme 'Development of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs)' for the welfare of the PVTGs. PVTGs are the most vulnerable tribal community, and hence it becomes necessary to allocate adequate funds from Central Sector/ Centrally Sponsored and State Plan schemes for the socio-economic development of PVTGs.The scheme covers 75 identified Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups in 18 States and UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The scheme is flexible as it enables the States to focus on areas that they consider are relevant to PVTGs and their socio-cultural environment. Activities under it include education, housing, land distribution, land development,  agricultural  development,  animal husbandry, construction of link roads, installation of non-conventional sources of energy for lighting purpose, social security including Janashree Bima Yojana or any other innovative activity meant for the comprehensive socio-economic development of PVTGs.

Funds are not released district wise. Annual Plans of the State Governments are apprised and approved by the PAC. Funds approved in respect of Government of Jharkhand for educational activities under the scheme of Grants  under  Article  275  (1)  of  the  Constitution  during  2018-19  is  Rs.6453.75  lakh  and  no  fund  has  been approved under Development of PVTGs for educational activity during 2018-19 in Jharkhand.
