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

(a) &(b): Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) was earlier running a separate scheme 'Hostels for  ST  Girls  and  Boys'  under  which  funds  were  provided  to  State  Governments  for construction  of  hostels.  The  details  of  hostels  sanctioned  to  state  of  Nagaland  under  this scheme during 2011-12 to 2017-18 are as under:

| Financial Year   |   Number of Sanctioned |   Hostels Funds Released (Rs. in lakh) |
|------------------|------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| 2013-14          |                      5 |                                 810.95 |
| 2015-16          |                     17 |                                1002.5  |

As part of rationalization of schemes of the Ministry, the intervention of construction of hostels has been subsumed under the schemes of 'Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme  (SCA  to  TSS)  and  Grants  under  Article  275(1)  of  the  Constitution  from 2018-19  on  wards  wherein  funds  are  provided  to  the  State  Governments  based  on  the proposal  received  from  them  after  appraisal  and  approval  of  the  Project  Appraisal Committee (PAC) in the Ministry. The details of the hostels sanctioned under (SCA to TSS) and Grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution during 2017-18 to 2021-22 to State Government of Nagaland are as under:
