## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): A Statement indicating the State-wise details of grants released under Article 275(1) during the financial year 2021-22 alongwith percentage of utilization of funds by the States visa-vis funds released during last three years is at Annexure . The main reason for under-utilization of the funds within the period by some States is due to delay in execution of Capital nature of projects due to covid lockdown and restrictions.    The State is also required to coordinate with various  line  Departments  who  execute  the  projects.   Besides,  due  process  is  required  to  be followed by State in a transparent manner as per extant guidelines such as acquisition of land, issuing  of  tender,  selection  of  agency  and  thereafter  execution  of  work  etc.  which  sometimes takes time more than the time envisaged by the States.
