## Statement referred to in reply to Rajya Sabha Starred Question No.*272 for answer on 31.12.2018

(a): Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  recognizes  the  fact  that  education  is  an  essential  attribute  for  holistic development of Scheduled Tribes (STs) and has been a core focus area. Tribal education has been a challenge mainly  on  account  of  their  traditional life styles, remoteness  of  habitations,  dispersed  population, displacement, language barriers, low literacy rate among adults, low income of ST families compared to other social  groups,  inadequate  staff  and  number  of  schools  and  colleges  within  normal  commuting  range  etc. However, the Government is committed to provide quality education to the tribal children unhindered in their own environment.

(b): The approach of Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) has been adopted by the Ministry of Tribal  Affairs  (MoTA)  for  imparting  quality  education  to  ST  children.  An  EMRS  has  the  capacity  of accommodating 480 students and is set up under 'Grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution of India'. Besides, residential Ashram schools have been set up under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme 'Establishment of Ashram Schools in Tribal Sub Plan Areas'. As on 26.12.2018, a total of 284 EMRSs and 1205 Ashram Schools have been sanctioned by MoTA across the country.

Substantive part of the Scheme 'Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS)' and 'Grants under Article  275(1)  of  the  Constitution',  i.e.  about  50%  of  the  allocation,  is  expended  on  promotion  of education among tribals.  Funds are provided to the State Governments under these interventions as per the demand of the State for the following activities related to infrastructural development in schools in tribal areas after approval of Project Appraisal Committee (PAC) in the Ministry depending upon the availability of funds:

- (i) Addition to existing building infrastructure of Secondary / Sr Secondary School
- (ii) Construction of co-ed residential schools.
- (iii) Construction of Girls and Boys Hostels.
- (iv) Use of solar energy in residential schools and Hostels.
- (v) Vocational training centers in residential school.
- (vi) IT based education facilities / equipment.
- (vii) Any other activity suitable for better educational facilities.

Further, Government has decided that by the year 2022, every block with more than 50% ST population and at  least  20,000  tribal  persons  to  have  an  EMRS  on  par  with  Jawahar  Navodaya  Vidyalayas  with  special facilities for preserving local art and culture besides providing training in sports and skill development.

Ministry of Tribal Affairs also provides funds for educational  development of STs through following Schemes / interventions:

- (i) Post-Matric  Scholarship  for  ST  Students: This  Scheme  covers  all  ST  students  of  Class  XI onwards who are studying in any recognized course from a recognized institution.
- (ii) Pre-Matric Scholarship Scheme for ST students: This scholarship is given to scheduled tribes students studying in class IX and X.  Priority is given for girl students.
- (iii) National Overseas Scholarship: This scheme provides financial assistance to selected students to pursue Post Graduation, PhD and Pos tDoctoral study abroad.
- (iv) National  Fellowship  and  Scholarship  for  higher  education  of  ST  Student: Scholarship  is given to ST students for purusing studies in prescribed courses.  Fellowship are provided to ST students for pursuing higher studies for MPhil and Phd.
- (v) Scheme of Strengthening Education among ST Girls in Low Literacy Districts: Under this scheme,  Ministry  provides  100%  assistance  for  running  and  maintenance  of  educational complexes for ST girls which include free education, boarding and lodging, books, uniforms, medical help, coaching, incentives to girls, periodical awards, etc. It meets the requirement of primary level students as well as middle/secondary level students and provides residential facility to ST girl students to ensure their retention in schools.
