## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SMT. RENUKA SINGH SARUTA) :

- (a): Yes Sir.
- (b): A statement indicating state-wise numbers of EMRS sanctioned, operational, under construction and yet to be completed in the country in last two years is at Annexure-A.
- (c)  and  (d):  As  per  budget  announcement  2018-19,  every  block  with  50%  or  more tribals  and  at  least 20,000 tribal persons is to be sanctioned an EMRS by the year 2022.  Based on these criteria 452 tribal blocks of the country have been identified for establishment of EMRSs and no block of Koppal District qualifies the above criteria.  However, a total number of 12 EMRSs have already been sanctioned for the state of Karnataka as per list as per Annexure-B.
- (e): The layout plan for construction of an EMRS  across the country including Nagaland, interalia, includes construction of academic building, hostels for students, kitchen and dining hall, staff quarter etc. . Therefore, no separate approval is required in respect of tribal hostel for the staff of EMRSs.
