2784 SHRI AMARSING TISSO:

Will the Minister of TRIBAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

the details of the expected number of beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi  Nyaya  Maha  Abhiyan  (PM-JANMAN)  Scheme  especially  in  Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao districts (ST) in the State of Assam?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SHRI DURGADAS UIKEY)

Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha AbhiyaN (PM JANMAN) aims to cover 75 PVTG communities residing in 18 States and 1 UT. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs through the State Governments/ UT Administration/departments have undertaken habitation level data collection exercise through PM Gati Shakti mobile application to estimate PVTG population figures and infrastructure gaps in order to cover PVTG beneficiaries / PVTG villages & habitations under PM JANMAN  Mission.  The  exact  number  of  State-wise  number  of  PVTG beneficiaries to be covered is subjected to eligibility criteria of specific guidelines of concerned interventions as per norms approved under the Mission. Based on the  data  captured  (as  on  20.07.2024),  the  number  of  PVTGs,  State-  wise,  are tabulated at Annexure-I.

However, as there are no identified PVTGs in the State of Assam, PM JANMAN is not being implemented in the State of Assam.

Annex referred to in  reply  to  Lok  Sabha  Unstarred  Question  No.2784 for  answer  on 08.08.2024 raised Shri Amarsing Tisso regarding 'PM JANMAN Scheme'
