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

(a) to (d): 'Pradhan Mantri Adi Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAAGY)' was launched by Govt for integrated development of eligible villages with 50% tribal population and 500 STs across States / UTs selected for undertaking development activities through convergence approach.  An amount of Rs.20.38 lakh per village (Rs 7276 cr for 36,428 villages) was earmarked under the scheme by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs and the States were required to make Village development plan with convergence of Central STC (Schedule tribe component) and State TSP (Tribal Sub Plan) funds available with sectoral Central Govt Ministries and State Govt.  In the VDP, the aim is to address gaps with regard to basic amenities identified through Antodaya Mission, in each selected village like Road connectivity, Telecom connectivity (Mobile /internet), School, Anganwadi Centres, Health Sub- Centre, Drinking water and elecltricity.  As on date 17,656 VDPs have been approved and total funds released till date amounts to Rs.2357.50 Cr.

The  total  no.  of  identified  villages  under  Barwani  district  of  Madhya  Pradesh  are 493. The details of number of villages identified under the scheme, State-wise, is  as per (Annexure I) and State of Chhattisgarh district-wise is as per (Annexure II) .

Based on learning from the success of PM JANMAN, Dharti Abba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA) has been launched which will cover more than 63000 villages including the villages covered under PMAAGY, including villages of MP and Chattisgarh is given in Annexure-III.

The State Govt has been advised to cover these villages under DA-JGUA, which is more structured version of PMAAAGY with dedicated convergence of funds and Saturation for key interventions from line Ministries and  State  departments.  It  envisages  providing  dedicated  funds  for  multi-sectoral  interventions  through convergence of  specific schemes  of  line  Ministries/Departments.  Attempt  has  been  made  to  remove  the difficulties and challenges faced in PMAAGY. With launch of this Mission, the interventions to address gaps which could not be undertaken under PMAAGY are possible to be executed under DA-JGUA.
