STC is a multi-pronged strategy for development of tribal population which includes  support  for  education,  health,  sanitation,  water  supply,  livelihood  etc. Major  part  of infrastructure development in tribal dominated areas and provision of basic amenities to tribal people 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 (MoTA) provides additive to these initiatives by way of plugging gaps. Details of schemes meant for tribal population and funds allocated by different Central Ministries / Departments under these schemes are reflected in the Union Budget as Statement 10B which is laid on the table of the House. During current financial year a total of Rs. 87473.03 crore has been allocated exclusively for tribal development and for the financial 202223, it has been estimated at Rs. 89265.12 crore..

(b) 'Housing for All' is mission administered by Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD). Through the scheme "Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G)", MoRD has the target to construct 2.95 crore pucca houses with basic amenities by March, 2024 for eligible rural households. The details of number of tribal families benefitted in the States having Schedule V and VI areas under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) for last 3 year are at Annexure 1.

The scheme envisages to mitigate gaps in various sectors of development  including  health  and  economic  well  being.  The  State-wise  list  of  the  villages  is  at Annexure 2 .
