4486. Shri Bajrang Manohar Sonwane:

Will the Minister of TRIBAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

(a) whether the Government has taken cognisance that the benefits of various Central tribal welfare schemes are not fully reaching the tribal areas of Beed district in Maharashtra, if so, the details of beneficiaries and funds distributed, scheme-wise and taluka-wise;

(b) whether the Government has taken note that tribal habitations in Beed district are facing shortages of basic facilities such as education, healthcare, drinking water, roads and employment, if so, the concrete steps taken so far to address these issues; and

(c) whether the Government proposes to introduce new schemes or expand the existing schemes for skill development, self-employment and economic empowerment of tribal youth and women in Beed district, if so, the details thereof?

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

a) As  per  the  state  of  Maharashtra , Beed  District  falls  outside  the  Tribal  Sub-Plan  (TSP)  area  and  is therefore classified as an OTSP (Outside Tribal Sub Plan) district. In view of this, community development or infrastructure-based tribal schemes are not implemented in the district. However, individual beneficiaryoriented schemes for tribal people are implemented under the District Annual Plan, State Plan, and Central Plan.

The implementation of these schemes is monitored by the concerned Project Office. To ensure that benefits reach  the  intended  tribal  beneficiaries,  Tribal  Inspectors  are  deputed  to  conduct  spot  verification  of beneficiaries. After field verification, the inspectors submit their reports to the Project Office to confirm that the benefits have been received by the actual beneficiaries.

Further, no complaints have been received from tribal communities in Beed District regarding non-receipt of benefits under these schemes. The Project Office also reviews the outcomes of the schemes through government-authorised agencies to ensure proper delivery  of  benefits. The  details  of the Central  tribal welfare schemes, scheme-wise beneficiaries and funds distributed is attached at Annexure I.

b) For providing basic facilities such as education, healthcare, drinking water, roads and employment, the Project Office implements various community development schemes under the Thakkar Bappa Tribal Vasti Development  Programme.  Based  on  the  requirements  raised  by  the  Gram  Panchayats  and  tribal communities, works such as construction of cement concrete roads, community centres, Mangal Karyalay, cremation ground sheds, protection walls, water filtration systems, drainage lines, pipelines, and installation of solar high mast lights are undertaken.

Further, the Government has recently introduced the Dharti Aaba Tribal Village Development Scheme. Under this  scheme,  the  Central  Government  has  selected  tribal  villages  covered  under  the  Antyodaya Yojana  for  focused  development.  In  Beed  District,  two  villages  i.e,  Nimgaon  Khalwad  and  Kuppi  in Wadwani Taluka have been selected under the scheme as per the prescribed norms.

c) Government  is  implementing  Skill  Development  Scheme  for  Tribal  unemployment  Youth  through Nucleus  Budget  Scheme  i.e.  Training  of  Plumber,  Two-Wheeler  Garage  mechanic,  Security  Guard, photography, computer operator, sales man Training for mall, and various scheme for income generation i.e. supply of Atta Chakki, Pulverizer, Mandap Decoration, Juicer machine, Katlari shop, etc. The details of schemes for skill development, self-employment and economic empowerment of tribal youth and women in Beed district are attached at Annexure II
