Under PMAY-G, 60% of the target allocated are being earmarked for SCs/STs subject to availability of eligible PMAY-G beneficiaries as per SECC 2011 through a saturation approach. DAY-NRLM also ensures adequate coverage of vulnerable sections of the society such that at least  50%  of  the  beneficiaries  are  members  of  the  Scheduled  Castes  and  Scheduled  Tribes, keeping  in  view  the  overall  target  of  100%  coverage  of  the  rural  poor  households  identified through  SECC  and  through  participatory  processes  of  identification  of  poor  households  and approved by Gram Sabha. Under DAY-NRLM, 21% of the total funds is being earmarked to Scheduled  Tribe  Component.

The  Ministry of tribal Affairs is implementing various programme for the development of tribal people such as (a)  Institutional  Support  for  Marketing  and  Development  of  Tribal  Products/  Produce,  (b) Mechanism  for  Marketing  of  Minor  Forest  Produce  (MFP)  through  Minimum  Support  Price (MSP)  and  Development  of  Value  Chain  for  MFP,  (c)  Support  to  National/  State  Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporations, (d) Pre-Matric scholarship for ST students (class 9  &  10)  (e)  Post-Matric  scholarship  for  ST  student  (class  11  onwards),  (f)  National  overseas scholarship for ST student, (g) National fellowship and scholarship for higher education for ST students.
