## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (c):   Government  is  implementing  Development  Action  Plan  for  Scheduled  Tribes (DAPST)  as  a  strategy  for  the  development  of  Scheduled  Tribes  and  areas  having  tribal concentration in the country. Besides Ministry of Tribal Affairs, 41 Ministries/Departments are allocating certain percentage of their total scheme budget every year for tribal development under DAPST  to  bridge  the  developmental  gap  between  Scheduled  Tribes  (STs)  and  non-ST

populations and for various tribal development projects relating to education, health, agriculture, irrigation,  roads,  housing,  electrification,  employment  generation,  skill  development,  etc. Schemes along-with funds allocated by the obligated Ministries/Departments for the welfare of Scheduled Tribes are given at Statement 10B of Expenditure Profile of Union Budget document in the link https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/budget2024-25/doc/eb/stat10b.pdf.

State Governments are also supposed to earmark TSP funds with respect to the total Scheme allocation, in proportion to ST population (Census 2011) in the State. The details of allocation and  expenditure  for  TSP  by  States/UTs  out  of  their  own  funds  including  Maharashtra  are available at https://statetsp.tribal.gov.in.

Further, Ministry of Tribal Affairs is implementing various schemes/programmes for the welfare and development of the Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the country. The details of these schemes and the State-wise funds allocations made during last five financial years by the Ministry is given at Annexure I .

The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), Government of India, implements its schemes through a range  of  agencies  such  as  Tribal  Co-operative  Marketing  Development  Federation  of  India (TRIFED)  which  focuses  on  tribal  product  marketing  and  economic  development;  National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation (NSTFDC) which provides credit and self-employment support; and National Education Society for Tribal Students (NESTS), which oversees Eklavya Model Residential Schools. Primarily, State Governments and Union Territory Administrations carry out the on-ground execution. State-level implementing agencies include State  Tribal  Welfare  Departments  and  the  state  arms  of national  agencies  (like  TRIFED  and NSTFDC).

Similarly, the obligated Ministries/Departments implement the schemes under DAPST through their respective state line departments and agencies.

(d):  Ministries/Departments  and  NITI  Aayog  undertakes  evaluation  of  CS  and  CSS  schemes respectively through third party. NITI Aayog has conducted an Evaluation Study for the EFC cycle which ended in 2020-21 which covered the schemes namely Post Matric Scholarship, PreMatric Scholarship, Support to TRI, MSP for Minor Forest Produce, SCA to TSS, Development of  PVTGs,  Tribal  Festival,  Infrastructure,  Mass  Education.  Some  key  findings  under  some schemes are as below:

1. The Pre-matric and Post-matric Scholarship schemes for STs have shown some progress, but both suffer from slow implementation and limited awareness at the school and college levels. States and stakeholders have highlighted the need for better communication, accountability, and capacity building to improve outreach and effectiveness. Strengthening scholarship renewal and grievance redressal mechanisms is also a priority for the post-matric scheme.
2. The Support to Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs) scheme remains highly relevant but requires a  redesign  in  its  objectives  to  function  as  effective think-tanks.  Emphasis  must  be  placed  on quality research, stronger community engagement, improved fund flow systems, and capacity building. The Ministry must regularly track and monitor the scheme and invest in better human resources and institutional structures.
3. The SCA to TSS scheme is crucial for tribal communities but needs improvements in resource allocation, fund utilization, and project monitoring. Better systems for fund flow and stronger monitoring frameworks are necessary to ensure timely and effective implementation.

(e): the Ministry has undertaken two missions for development of STs through convergence of funds available with different Ministries/Departments under DAPST namely - Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyay Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyaan.

PM JANMAN: Government launched Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) for socio-economic development of 75 PVTG communities residing in 18 states and one UT. The mission aims to provide basic facilities such as safe housing, clean drinking water and improved access to education, health and nutrition, road and telecom connectivity, electrification of unelectrified households and sustainable livelihood opportunities in 3 years. These objectives are planned to be met through 11 interventions including Hostels and Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) implemented by 9-line Ministries. PM JANMAN has total budgetary outlay of Rs.24,104 Cr (Central share: ₹15336 Cr and State share: ₹8768 Cr).

DAJGUA: Hon'ble PM launched Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA) on 2 nd October, 2024. The Abhiyan comprises of 25 interventions implemented by 17-line Ministries and aims to saturate infrastructural gaps  in 63,843 villages, provide social infrastructure like hostels, Anganwadi facilities and mobile medical units and set up Van Dhan Vikas Kendras to provide livelihood opportunities benefiting more than 5 crore tribals in 549 districts and 2,911 blocks in 30 States/UTs in 5 years. The Abhiyan has a total budgetary outlay of Rs.79,156 Cr (Central share: ₹56,333 Cr and State share: ₹22,823 Cr).

Committees have been formulated at the State, District, and Block levels  to  ensure effective implementation,  coordination,  and  monitoring  of  the  Dharti  Aaba  Janjatiya  Gram  Utkarsh Abhiyan.  At  the  State  level,  a  State-Level  Apex  Committee  (SLAC)  chaired  by  the  Chief Secretary has been constituted. At the District level, a District-Level Committee, chaired by the District  Collector  and  at  the  Block  level,  a  Block-Level  Implementation  Teams  (BLITs) comprising  officers  from  various  departments  have  been  set  up  to  facilitate  grassroots implementation of interventions.

Apart from this, MoTA also conducts review meetings with the obligated Ministries/Departments. Nodal officers are also appointed in the respective Ministries/Departments.

(f):  Ministry  of  tribal  Affairs  monitors  the  Monthly  Progress  Reports  submitted  by  the States/UTs.  MoTA  has  been  issuing  directions  and  guidelines  from  time  to  time  on  various aspects to ensure proper implementation of the Act. Further review meetings are regularly being held from time to  time  with the State Tribal  Welfare Department and concerned authorities. DC/DMs  have  been  advised  to  dispose  of  all  pending  FRA  Claims  in  time.  Grievances

/representations received in the Ministry regarding violation of FRA are forwarded to the State / UTs concerned, to ensure that legitimate claimants are not denied their forest rights.

Also, to  enhance the  comprehensive implementation  of the FRA,  MoTA has been providing financial  support  to  the  districts  under  'Dharti  Aaba  Janjatiya  Gram  Utkarsh  Abhiyan'  (DAJGUA)' for setting up dedicated FRA cells at the State and district/subdivision levels, for a period of two years. The ministry is urging states to prepare an FRA Atlas to map the potential forest areas which can be considered under FRA and undertake capacity building of all stakeholders. Further, Ministry has been providing financial support to the State Tribal Welfare Department for development and maintenance of the state specific FRA portal (which includes dedicated server,  cost  of  software,  hardware,  security  audit,  digital  mapping  of  land  records  and  other operational costs) under DA JGUA.

(g):  As  per  FRA  and  Rules  made  thereunder,  the  State  Governments  are  responsible  for implementation of various provisions of the FRA. As per the latest information reported by States and collated under MPR- FRA is being implemented in States -20 states 1 UT. As on 31.05.2025, a total number of claims filed under FRA is 51,23,104 out of which 85.47% claims have been disposed of and claims and 25,11,375 titles (49.02%) have been distributed over the extent of 2,32,73,947.39 acres of forest land. The State-wise details showing distribution of FRA Titles, as on 31.05.2025 is at Annexure II.
