(a) to (d):The Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS), identified as Core of the Core Scheme by NITI Aayog, is implemented in collaboration  with  the  States/UTs  etc.,  with  the  objective  of  improving  socio-economic condition  and  basic  amenities  in  identified  Minority  Concentrated  Areas(MCA)  mainly through gap filling in various existing CSS and through innovative projects recommended by the State Govts/UTs as per the need of the identified areas. In 2018, the areas covered under PMJVK was increased from 90 Districts originally to 308 Districts in 33 States/ UTs.  The MCAs  included 870  Minority Concentration Blocks  (MCBs)  and 321 Minority Concentration Towns (MCTs), 109 Minority Concentration District Headquarters  (MCD  Hqrs). PMJVK has  recently  been  restructured  and  approved  by  the Cabinet  on  19.01.2022  for  continuation  over  the  15 th Finance  Commission  Cycle.  The

Scheme is now being implemented in all Districts thereby covering every block and town of the Country.

Under  the  scheme,  proposals  are  sought  from  the  States/UTs/Central  Government Organisations where the concentration of minority population is more than 25%  in the catchment area (5 km radius) as per Census 2011 and subsequent Census as and when it takes  place,  after  due  certification  of  State  Level  Committee/Central  Government Organisation. In States/UTs where a notified minority community is in majority, a lower cut off of 15% of the minority population other than that of the minority community in majority, is adopted for  the catchment area (5 km radius) where the project is proposed. Priority  sectors  under  the  Scheme  are  education,  health,  skill  development  and  women centric projects.

The budget allocated for PMJVK during 2021-22 is Rs. 1390 crore, which has later been revised to Rs. 1199.55 crore at Revised Estimate (RE). The expenditure under PMJVK till 07.02.2022 is Rs. 861.94 crore which is more than 70% of RE.

Under Pradhan Mantri  Jan Vikas  Karyakram  (PMJVK),  project  proposals are  received from  the  State  Governments/UT  Administrations  after  the  same  are  recommended  by State  Level  Committee  (SLC).  The  proposals  are  then  appraised  by  the  Screening Committee (SC) and approved by the Empowered Committee (EC) in the Ministry.

In the State of Telangana, PMJVK earlier covered 6 District which included 8 MCTs, 3 MCBs and 1 District Headquarter.
