## ANSWER

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

(a) Yes,  the  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  periodically  reviews  the  performance  of  Tribal Research  Institutes  (TRIs)  through  meetings,  monitoring  of  implementation  of  approved projects,  utilisation  certificates,  progress  reports,  physical  visits  of  TRIs,  and  evaluation  of outputs. An extensive evaluation study was also conducted by the Development Monitoring and  Evaluation  Office  (DMEO),  NITI  Aayog  for  which  report  was  submitted  in  October 2025. This evaluation report highlighted that the scheme aligns strongly with constitutional mandates for research and documentation on tribal matters. TRIs have played a pivotal role in preserving traditional knowledge and supporting policy formulation. However, their capacity varies widely across states. It was recommended to strengthen institutional capacity of TRIs through targeted resource allocation and standardization of research guidelines across states. Besides,  it  was  advised  collaborations  with  universities  and  international  development agencies for co-funded research should be encouraged.

(b) Presently,  Ministry  of Tribal Affairs is funding 29 Tribal Research Institutes under the Scheme 'Support to Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs)'. The core responsibility of TRIs is to function  as  a  body  of  knowledge  &  research  and as  a  think  tank  for  tribal  development and preservation of art and culture of tribal people with repository of information pertaining to tribal communities, their society and culture and critical areas of concern. Within the set of TRIs, there are tribal museum, library, training centre, research wing etc. TRIs have carried out various activities viz. research studies, evaluation studies, organization of training/seminar/workshop, organization of tribal fairs and festivals, baseline survey, publications,  documentaries/  documentation,  organization  of  exchange  visits  etc.  over  the years. The list of TRIs is at Annexure-I .

Tribal Research Institute(s) submit to the Ministry annual detailed action plan with budgetary requirement through respective State Tribal Welfare Department. Funds are sanctioned to the State Government on need basis and with the approval of Apex Committee chaired by the Secretary, Tribal Affairs. Details of funds released to TRIs including TRI, Andhra Pradesh under the Scheme of 'Support to Tribal Research Institutes' during the period from 2020-21 to 2024-25 is given at Annexure-II.

(c) Yes,  this  Ministry  has  identified  gaps  relating  to  research  capacity,  infrastructure, digitisation,  and  manpower  in  TRIs.  Corrective  measures  include  financial  assistance  for infrastructure upgradation, support for digitization of records and research outputs, strengthening  of  human  resources  and  technical  expertise,  and  Encouraging  collaborations with academic and research institutions

(d) TRIs have conducted 399 research studies and 467 training programmes during the last five  years.  The  details  of  research  projects  and  training  programmes  conducted  by  TRI  in Andhra Pradesh for tribal welfare and cultural documentation are given at Annexure-III.

(e) Yes, there are active plans to strengthen, upgrade, and support Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs)  across  India,  including  Andhra  Pradesh,  through  the  centrally  sponsored  scheme "Support to Tribal Research Institutes". The focus is on enhancing infrastructural capacity, data-driven policy research, and language preservation. The following initiatives have been taken by the Government for the purpose:

The Tribal Cultural Research & Training Mission (TCR&TM) in Andhra Pradesh has developed  a  roadmap  through  the  Centre  for  Innovations  in  Public  Systems  (CIPS)  to enhance its activities. Database created for tribal artists, artisans and cultural artists. Tribal Artists & Artisans are sent to the state and national level tribal fairs and festivals to exhibit and for sale tribal arts and crafts. Further, to preserve tribal languages, primers are developed in  6  tribal  languages  (Savara,  Kuvi,  Konda,  Koya,  Adivasi  Oriya  and  Sugali).   TRIs  are actively  involved  in  preserving  indigenous  tribal  languages  through  the  preparation  of bilingual dictionaries and trilingual proficiency modules. Besides, data-driven approaches are integrated into tribal development planning, utilizing dashboards developed by the Centre of Excellence of Data Analytics (CEDA) for monitoring schemes.
