## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): 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. 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.

In view of the implementation of PM JANMAN, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs through the State Governments/ UT  Administration/departments  including  Gujarat  has  undertaken  habitation  level  data  collection  exercise through PM Gati Shakti mobile application to estimate PVTG population figures and infrastructure gaps in order to cover PVTG population residing in villages & habitations under PM JANMAN. Based on the data captured (as on 21.11.2024), the number of PVTGs and Districts, State/UT-wise including Gujarat, are tabulated at AnnexureI . The State/UT-wise, including Gujarat, sanction of funds under PM JANMAN, Ministry-wise, is at AnnexureII .

Hon'ble  PM  launched  Dharti  Aaba  Janjatiya  Gram  Utkarsh  Abhiyan  on  2nd  October,  2024.  The  Abhiyan comprises  of  25  interventions  implemented  by  17  line  Ministries  and  aims  to  saturate  infrastructural  gaps in 63,843  villages,  improve  access  to  health,  education,  Anganwadi  facilities  and  providing  livelihood opportunities benefiting more than 5 crore tribals in 549 districts and 2,911 blocks in 30 States/UTs including Gujarat in 5 years. The State/UT-wise coverage of districts along with the ST population under this Abhiyan is at

Annexure-III .   Each  Ministry  has  been  allocated  budget  and  targets  under  Abhiyan  and  responsible  for implementing the intervention assigned to it.  The Abhiyan aims at Saturation through convergence and outreach.

The Abhiyan targets specific tribal-majority villages with populations of 500 or more, where at least 50% are tribal, and villages, in Aspirational districts, with at least 50 tribal population.

In  short  span  of  less  than  2  months  after  launch  of  mission  of  2nd  October  2024,  the  Ministry  of  Education has  sanctioned 304 hostels.  Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has sanctioned 30 MMUs,  and MoTA has sanctioned 6 Centre of Competence and projects for upgradation of residential schools and hostels based on the proposal submitted by the State.

The actual number beneficiaries to be covered under these Abhiyans is subjected to eligibility criteria of specific guidelines of concerned interventions as per norms approved.
