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

(a) to (d): As PVTGs including Dongria Kondh and Bondo in Odisha had been facing vulnerability in social, economic and educational fields, on 15th November 2023, Hon'ble PM 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 including Odisha. 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 implemented by 9-line Ministries. The details of benefits given under the Abhiyan scheme in Odisha since its inception, Ministry-wise, is given in Annexure-I .  The  perusal  of  interventions  undertaken  under  mission  would  show  that  malnutrition, inadequate healthcare and infrastructure deficiencies are also being taken care under the mission through setting  up  of  Anganwadis,  Mobile  Medical  Units  and construction  of  road  etc  for  all  PVTGs  including Odisha.

The budget under the Mission has been fixed at Rs 24,104 cr and the mission is till the period ending on 31.3.2026. As on 21.11.2024, projects worth of Rs.8369.87 Cr have been sanctioned under the abhiyan by line Ministries / Departments including Ministry of Tribal Affairs. Ministry of Tribal Affairs is the nodal Ministry for the abhiyan. However, each Ministry has been allocated budget and targets under abhiyan and responsible  for  implementing  the  intervention  assigned  to  it.  As  on  date,  no  delays  or  gaps  in  the implementation of PM JANMAN in Odisha has been brought to the notice of this Ministry by line Ministries / Departments.
