## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SHRI ARJUN MUNDA)

(a): Government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy for overall development of tribal people living 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, while the Ministry of Tribal Affairs provides additive to these initiatives by  way of plugging critical  gaps.  The  schemes  /  prgogrammes  of  the  Ministry  are  equally  implemented  in  North Eastern  States  including  Assam.  A  list  of  Schemes  /  Programmes  being  implemented  by  the Ministry including in North-Eastern States and  Assam is at Annexure-I and details  of  funds released to North Eastern States including Sikkim is at Annexure-II.

(b)  to  (d):  During  2018-19,  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  had  introduced  a  separate  Scheme  of Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) with the objective to provide quality middle and high school level education to Scheduled Tribes (STs) students  in remote areas. Earlier, it was a component of Grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution of India. As per approval of the Government, every block with more than 50% ST population and at least 20,000 tribal persons, will have an Eklavya Model Residential School by the year 2022.  Across the country, as per census 2011 figures, there are 564 sub-districts i.e. blocks/taluka/tehsil having more than 50% ST population and at least 20,000 tribal persons.  Out of these sub-districts, EMRS have been sanctioned  in  102  sub-districts  at  the  inception  of  the  Scheme  and  in  remaining  sub-districts shall  have  an  EMRS  by  the  year  2022  which  includes  119  new  Eklavya  Model  Residential Schools (EMRSs) in the blocks in North-Eastern States.

The  scheme  of Mechanism  for  Marketing  of  Minor  Forest  Produce  (MFP)  through Minimum  Support  Price  (MSP)  and  Development  of  Value  Chain  for  MFP covers  various activities  including  procurement  of  MFPs  when  their  market  price  falls  below  their  notified MSP, setting up/expansion of storage facilities, expanding the knowledge base on MFP, training for  sustainable  collection,  value  addition,  etc.  The  activities  involving  expanding  knowledge base, training for sustainable collection, value addition, etc. are done through TRIFED and the Central Government bears 100% of the expenditure incurred for these activities. While there is no proposal to introduce a separate scheme/policy on this matter, TRIFED desired to brand the activities  being  undertaken  by  it  under  the  existing  scheme  of Mechanism  for  Marketing  of Minor  Forest  Produce  (MFP)  through  Minimum  Support  Price  (MSP)  and  Development  of Value Chain for MFP as 'Van Dhan Vikas Karyakram'. Thus, Van Dhan Vikas Karyakram is nothing but the training and development  of value chain components  of  the  scheme of Mechanism for Marketing of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) through Minimum Support Price (MSP) and Development of Value Chain for MFP.

The schemes of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs are demand driven and funding are made in various sectors including for employment-cum-income generation and covers activities such as  establishment  of  Agro/Forest/Natural  Resource  based  micro  /  village  industries  through training of tribal cooperatives, SHGs  and  individual  entrepreneurs, promotion  and  skill development in traditional tribal culture areas like tribal jewelry, painting, dance forms, music and culinary art, Village tourism, Eco-tourism, etc.
