## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) has conducted a gap analysis of 1,17,000 villages based on Census 2011 and Mission Antyodaya data of 2018 maintained by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD). It has been observed that there are 36428 villages with at least 50% tribal population and 500 STs across the country, out of which 533 villages fall in the State of Telangana.  Key Infrastructural gaps identified in such villages with respect to various sectors of development in the State is given at Annexure .

The STC mechanism envisages provision of Central Schedule  Tribe Component and State Tribal Sub Plan budget for development of tribal and tribal areas.  Ministry has developed STCMIS portal (stcmis.gov.in) for monitoring expenditure of all Central Government Ministries as per  frame  work  designed  by  NITI  Aayog.   The  States  have  been   advised  to  submit  their proposals as per gap analysis and utilize the State TSP and Central STC components so as to ensure infrastructural development of tribal villages.

(c  & d):  Besides the schemes being implemented by the Central Line Ministries and State Governments,  MoTA  has  also  provided  funds  to  the  Government  of  Telangana  under  the schemes of 'Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS)', 'Development of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs)' and 'Grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution  of  India'  as  a  gap  filling  measure  for  welfare  and  development  of  ST  people including infrastructure development in tribal villages, as detailed below:
