3. The details of Year-wise budgetary allocation to the Ministry of Minority Affairs from 2009-10 to 2014-15 is as under:-

(Rs. in crore)

| Year    |   Budget Allocation |
|---------|---------------------|
| 2009-10 |             1756.5  |
| 2010-11 |             2615.37 |
| 2011-12 |             2866    |
| 2012-13 |             3154.7  |
| 2013-14 |             3530.98 |
| 2014-15 |             3734.01 |

4. During  the  current  FY  2024-25,  an  amount  of  Rs.  3183.24  crore  has  been allocated to Ministry of Minority Affairs.  The budget of the schemes of the Ministry of Minority Affairs was reduced due to the following reasons:
2. (i)            Adoption  of  new  mechanism  for  release  of  Central  share  of  funds  under Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Central Sector Schemes, for which State Nodal Agencies (SNA) and Central Nodal Agencies (CNA) were required to be appointed. As per the revised procedure of Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, release of funds under Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) are not tied to the individual projects and the amount available in the account of State Nodal Agency (SNA) forms a common pool. As on 31.03.2024, the unspent amount with the States in their SNA account is Rs. 1108.54 crore, and the States are required to first incur expenditure from the SNA account, to complete the ongoing projects.
3. (ii)            Scholarship  schemes  of  the  Ministry  were  to  be  aligned  with  the  pattern followed by the Education Ministry and other ministries such as Tribal Affairs and Social  Justice.  The  Expenditure  Finance  Committee  (EFC)  for  continuation  of Scholarship schemes over the 15 th  Finance Commission cycle held on 23.09.2021 opined that since a Group of Secretaries (GOS) has been mandated to examine the recommendations  of  the  Group  of  Ministers  (GOM)  on  revising  the  existing architecture of the scholarship schemes across various ministries and the changes that will be decided can only be prospective, it will not be possible to implement the same from this year and the scholarship schemes of MOMA may continue as it is upto 31.03.2022. EFC in its meeting held on 18.01.2023 examined the revised proposal  and  recommended  the  continuation  of  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Education

Empowerment  Scheme  for  the  period  2022-23  to  2025-26.  However,  since verification  of  institutions  is  being  carried  out,  funds  under  the  Scholarship schemes  are  not  being  released.  Further,  Central  Government  has  taken  the decision to limit the coverage under Pre-Matric Scholarship Scheme for Minorities to  only  Classes  IX  and  X  based  on  very  strong  rationale.  Firstly,  it  has  been observed  that  the  participation  of  students  from  Minority  communities  is  at  par with  the  national  average  at  primary and elementary level. Also, the students at these levels are already covered under Right to Education (RTE) Act. Further, there was a felt need to harmonize the coverage under Pre-Matric Scheme for minorities with  similar  schemes implemented for other target groups like Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes and the OBCs. (iii) These  two  flagship  schemes  of  the  Ministry  -Scholarship  Scheme  and PMJVK Scheme together account for nearly 80% of the Ministry's budget. (iv) Skilling schemes under Ministry of Minority Affairs have been amalgamated under the PM Virasat Ka Samvardhan (PM VIKAS). The statement showing number of beneficiaries of the sponsored schemes

(c): of the Ministry from 2019 to present, state-wise is at annexure.
