## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a) & (b) : Pradhan  Mantri  Jan  Vikas  Karyakram  (PMJVK),  a  Centrally  Sponsored Scheme, is one of the flagship programmes of the Ministry of Minority Affairs for creation of community  infrastructure  in  the  Minority  Concentration  Areas  (MCAs)  of  the  country  in sectors viz. Health, Skill Development, Education, Women-centric Projects, Drinking Water Supply,  Sanitation,  Sports,  Renewable  Energy,  Tourism,  Animal  Husbandry  and  other community infrastructure.

The  scheme also aims to  boost  the  social  and  economic  conditions  of  the  Minority Communities  in  these  areas.  Project  proposals  under  the  scheme  are  formulated  by  the respective  State  Governments/UT  Administrations.  The  concerned  State  Governments/UT Administrations may submit project proposals for any district where the minority population exceeds 25% within a 15 km radius.

After receiving the project proposal on the PMJVK portal, the Ministry examines and approves the proposal in accordance with the scheme guidelines.

(c)& (d) : The Buddhist Development Plan (BDP) under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram  (PMJVK),  released  in  March,  2024,  is  a  multi-faceted  initiative  aimed  at promoting educational, cultural, economic, and infrastructure growth in  the Himalayan and North Eastern regions of the country. It is a targeted development plan specifically focusing on the  development of  the  Buddhist  population residing  in  the  regions  of  Ladakh,  Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Arunachal Pradesh.

Proposals under the Plan are submitted by the State Governments/UT Administrations. No proposal has been received from the State of Andhra Pradesh and from Boudh district of Odisha under the Buddhist Development Plan.

The State-wise details of projects approved under the Buddhist Development Plan of PMJVK are given at Annexure-I .

(e) to (g) : The fund sharing pattern between the Central and State Governments under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is as follows:

-  60% (Central Share) : 40% (State Share) - Applicable for all States and Union Territories (UTs) with Legislature.
-  90% (Central Share) : 10% (State Share) - Applicable for North Eastern States, Himalayan States ( Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand ), and Himalayan UT with Legislature (Jammu & Kashmir).

Under PMJVK, funds are allocated based on project proposals submitted by States/Union Territories, rather than through pre-determined State/UT-wise allocations.

While the scheme focuses on Minority Concentration Areas, the benefits of infrastructure created under PMJVK are not limited to any one community . These facilities are accessible to  all  residents  of  the  area,  irrespective  of  religion  or  background.  This  inclusive  approach fosters  equitable  development,  promotes  social  harmony,  and  ensures  access  to  essential services for all.

The total funds released during the last five years and the current year under PMJVK is given below. Details of projects approved under PMJVK since inceptions are at Annexure II .
