## ANSWER

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

(a)  &  (b): Union  Government  is  implementing  various  schemes  through  sectoral  Ministries wherein dedicated funds are earmarked as Scheduled Tribe Component (STC) for tribal welfare and development across the country. This includes support for education, health, sanitation, water supply, livelihood etc. As on date, besides Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), 41 Ministries / Departments are allocating certain percentage of their total scheme budget for tribal development under STC for various tribal development projects. 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 funds allocated by different Central Ministries / Departments under their schemes are reflected in the Union Budget as Statement 10B which is laid on the table of the House and is also available at https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/doc/eb/stat10b.pdf. The details of STC funds released by various Ministries / Departments during last five years and current year are at Annexure 1 .

Ministry of Tribal  Affairs  has  revamped the earlier  Scheme of 'Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS) with nomenclature 'Pradhan Mantri Adi Adarsh Gram Yojna (PMAAGY)',  for  implementation  during  2021-22  to  2025-26,  which  aims  at  integrated development of  villages with significant tribal population covering about population of 4.22 crore (About 40% of the total Tribal Population). It is envisaged to cover 36,428 villages having at least 50% tribal population and 500 STs across States / UTs with notified STs.  The main objective of this scheme is to achieve integrated socio-economic development of selected villages through convergence approach.

The  scheme  envisions  to  bridge  gaps  prominently  in  8  sectors  of  development  viz.  Road connectivity (Internal and Inter village /block), Telecom connectivity (Mobile /internet), School, Anganwadi  Centres,  Health  Sub-Centre,  Drinking  water  facility,  Drainage  and  solid  waste management. A sum of ₹20.38 lakh per village as 'Gap-filling' has been provisioned for approved activities under PMAAGY. Besides States / UTs are encouraged for convergence of resources as Central / State Scheduled Tribe Component (STC) funds and other financial resources available with them for saturation of gaps.

During 2021-22 and 2022-23, a total of about 16554  villages  have been  taken up.  So  far,  an amount of Rs. 2133.39 Crore has already been released to the States under the scheme. The Statewise details of total villages identified under PMAAGY, No. of villages taken up during 2021-22 and 2022-23 and funds released as on 31.03.2023 is at Annexure 2 .
