## MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI)

(a), (b) & (c):   The  Ministry  of  Minority  Affairs  has  implemented  Pradhan  Mantri Jan  Vikas  Karyakram  (PMJVK)  earlier  known  as  Multi-Sectoral  Development Programme  (MsDP)  in  1300  identified  Minority  Concentration  Areas  (MCAs) across  the  country.      The  MCAs  are  identified  on  the  basis  of  concentration  of minority population and backwardness  of the area as compared  to National average.    Projects  related  to  creation  of  infrastructure  in  the  field  of  education, health and skill development are accorded priority under the scheme by earmarking  80%  resources  for  these  sectors.          Further,  33-40%  of  resources  are also earmarked for creation of facilities for girls/women.

PMJVK  being  an  area  development  programme,  the entire population including the population of minority communities residing in the Minority Concentration  Area  are  regarded  as  beneficiary  of  the  projects.      At  present,  249 Minority  Concentration  Areas  of  Uttar  Pradesh  including  11  MCAs  of  Bareilly District  are  covered under the Karyakram.   Details of the scheme are available on the website of the Ministry - www.minorityaffairs.gov.in
