started an initiative of Data Governance Quality
Index (DGQI) to ascertain data preparedness of
Central Ministries on various themes like data
generation, data quality, use of technology, data
analytics, data security and best practices. Based on
the comprehensive review of the data preparedness
in programme implementation across various
Ministries/ Departments of the Government of
India, NITI Aayog found that significant concerted
efforts are needed going forward to improve the
overall effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability
of data systems. Ministry of Tribal Affairs also
took part in DGQI exercise based on scoring
criteria fixed by the NITI and demonstrated
various initiatives taken by it since 2018 to infuse

technology in governance. Amongst 65 Central
Ministries/ Departments and 250 Central Schemes/
Central Sponsored Schemes, covered by DGQI,
MoTA Scorecard is as under:
Use of Technology
Data Security and HR Capacity
Various initiatives have been taken after 1st round of DGQI exercise and MoTA aims to perform better
in 2nd round of DGQI exercise initiated by NITI Aayog and would bring transparency, efficiency,
accountability and improvement in service delivery by increasing the use of effective technology in
governance.

stone to economic and social development, and is

12

also the most effective instrument for empowering
the tribals, continuous efforts have been made
through various schemes of the Ministry with the
objective of enhancing access to education through
provision of infrastructure by way of establishment
of Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS)
under the scheme implemented by the Ministry.
Funds are also given to States under Article 275(1)
of the Constitution for construction of hostels
for ST students, establishment and upgradation
of Ashram Schools, Vocational Training Centre
based on the proposals of the States. In order to
prevent drop out of the students and for promoting
higher education, there are 5 scholarships schemes
of the Ministry such as Pre- Matric Scholarship,
Post Matric Scholarship, National Fellowship and
Scholarship for Higher Education and National
Overseas Scholarship for ST students, under which
financial assistance is provided to eligible students
for pursuing studies from class IX to pursuing
higher education in India and abroad.
2.4 The scheme of Eklavya Model Residential
Schools (EMRSs) was introduced in the year 1997-
98 to provide quality upper primary, secondary
and senior secondary level education to Scheduled
Tribes (ST) students in remote tribal areas. Initially
funded under a Special Area Programme, ‘Grants
under Article 275(1) of the Constitution of India’,
it was carved out as a separate scheme in 2019-20.
In Union Budget of 2018-19, Government of India
announced that to provide quality education to the
tribal children in their own environment, EMRS
school will be established in every block having
more than 50% ST population and at least 20,000
tribal persons (as per census 2011). The scheme was
approved by the Union Cabinet on 17.1.2018 for
establishing 452 new schools based on population
criteria. These EMRSs would be at par with
Navodaya Vidyalayas with special facilities for
preserving local art and culture besides providing
training in sports and skill development.
2.5 A scheme of Pre-Matric Scholarship for
needy Scheduled Tribe children studying in
classes IX and X was introduced with effect from
13
Annual Report | 2021-22
1.7.2012. It is aimed at providing incentive to
tribal students specially girls so that the incidence
of drop out, especially in transition from the
elementary to secondary and during secondary
stage of education is minimized. With improved
participation and performance, they have a better
chance of progressing to Post-Matric stages of
education. Rate of scholarship under the scheme
has been revised w.e.f academic session 2019-20
(01.12.2019) and income ceiling has been revised
to Rs.2.50 lakh per annum from academic session
2020-21.
2.6 The scheme of Post Matric Scholarship has
been revised w.e.f. 1.7.2010 with modifications in
rate of scholarship, income ceiling and grouping
of the subjects and continues as an important
Centrally Sponsored Scheme to promote higher
education among STs.
2.7 Other than these 2 core schemes
implemented by States, two Central Sector
Scholarship schemes for ST students, viz National
Fellowship and Top Class Education have been
merged into a single Central Sector Scheme
called “National Fellowship and Scholarship for
Higher Education of ST Students”. Under Top
Class Scholarship, in top 246 Class Institutes like
IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, NITs, scholarship is provided
to students for the entire period of the course. In
National Fellowship, every year 750 students are
provided scholarship for pursuing MPhil and PhD
for a period upto 5 years.
2.8 Under the National Overseas Scholarship
Scheme for Higher Studies Abroad, the Ministry
provides financial assistance to 20 students every
year selected for pursuing higher studies abroad for
Post Graduation, Ph. D and Post-Doctoral research
programmes.
2.9 Ministry of Tribal Affairs implements
Scheme of ‘Aid to Voluntary Organizations
working for the welfare of Scheduled Tribes’
in education, health and livelihood sector. The
scheme was last revised w.e.f. 1st April 2008 and
financial Norms were revised in 2020. The prime
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
objective of the scheme is to enhance the reach
of welfare schemes of Government and fill the
gaps in service deficient tribal areas, in the sectors
such as education and health covering residential
schools, non-residential schools, hostels, mobile
dispensaries, ten or more bedded hospitals, etc.
through the efforts of voluntary organizations,
and to provide favourable environment for socio-
economic upliftment and overall development of
the Scheduled Tribes (STs). Grants are provided
to non-governmental organizations on application,
in a prescribed format, duly recommended by the
multi-disciplinary State Level Committee of the
concerned State Government/UT Administration.
Preference is given for strengthening education
among ST Girls in 54 low Literacy Districts so
as to bridge the gap in literacy levels between the
general female population and tribal women.
Grants to States
2.10 Ministry gives grants to States under proviso
to Article 275(1) of the Constitution. It also provides
grants under Special Central Assistance to Tribal
Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS) and for development of
PVTGs.
2.11 Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-
Scheme (SCA to TSS): Under the special area
programme of Special Central Assistance to Tribal
Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS), grants are released
to States having ST population for development
and welfare of tribal people. Funds are released
to States based upon proposals received from the
State Government duly approved by Executive
Committee and after appraisal and approval
thereof by a Project Appraisal Committee (PAC)
constituted in this Ministry for the purpose, to
bridge the gaps in sectors like education, health,
agriculture, skill development, employment-cum-
income generation, etc. 100% grants are provided
to States.
Ministry has identified infrastructural gaps in
1,17,000 villages based on Antyodaya Mission
data and it has been observed that despite
14
several initiatives under STC mechanism and
different schemes of the Ministry, there are many
infrastructural gaps in key area in tribal villages. It
is being proposed that the scheme of Special Central
Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS)
should be aimed at reducing these infrastructural
gaps. Ministry has identified about 36,000 villages
which have ST population of more than 500 and
with more than 50% of population of the village
being ST. The revamped scheme would be aimed
at providing basic services and infrastructure
facilities to enable them lead a dignified living and
utilize their inherent potential to the fullest.
2.12 Under the programme of Proviso to Article
275(1) of Constitution, grants are released to 26
States, having ST population for raising the level
of administration in Scheduled Areas and for the
welfare of Scheduled Tribes. Funds are released
to States based on proposals received from the
States Governments depending on the felt needs
of ST population to bridge the gap in infrastructure
activities in sectors like education, health and
livelihood etc. This is a Special Area Programme
and 100% grants are provided to States.
2.13 There are about 75 tribal groups, which are
classified as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups
(PVTGs). The criteria followed for determination
of PVTGs are as under:
• A pre-agriculture level of technology;
• A stagnant or declining population;
• Low literacy; and
• A subsistence level of economy.
The PVTGs, like other tribal groups, are eligible for
the benefits of all the schemes of the Government
of India and State Governments that are available
to the general population, as well as schemes
under TSP of States and Central Government.
Nonetheless, recognizing their special needs and
for a community/area driven approach to the

development of the PVTGs, the Government of
India provides for a scheme especially directed
towards the Development of the PVTGs to 18
States and the Union Territory of Andaman &
Nicobar Islands with PVTG populations for
implementation of prioritized activities as per
approved “Conservation - cum - Development
(CCD) Plans” in the sectors of education, health
& sanitation, nutrition, livelihoods, conservation
of culture & heritage and recognition of habitat
rights. Support under the scheme is essentially in
the nature of gap filling interventions.
Promoting Tribal Livelihood
The Ministry implements various schemes to
promote livelihood of tribal population through
NSTFDC and TRIFED.
2.14 National Scheduled Tribes Finance and
Development Corporation (NSTFDC) is a
Corporation and continues to function as a catalytic
agent for promoting economic development
activities of STs by providing financial assistance
at concessional rates of interest.
2.15 A Scheme “Mechanism for Marketing of
Minor Forest Produce (MFP) through Minimum
Support Price (MSP) and Development of Value
Chain for MFP” was introduced by the Ministry of
Tribal Affairs during the year 2013-14, to provide
much needed safety net and support to people
belonging to Scheduled Tribes and other traditional
forest dwellers whose livelihoods depend on
collection and selling of MFP.
To start with, the scheme had been implemented
in States having Schedule V areas and covered
ten MFP items. It was later expanded to 50
MFPs and all States. Further, additional 37
MFP items have also been included in the list
of MSP for MFP Scheme to expand the ambit
and coverage of the scheme vide notification
No. F.No.19/17/2018-Livelihood dated 26 May
2020 and 11 November 2020. Thus, the Scheme
currently covers a total 87 items.
15
Annual Report | 2021-22
Guidelines of the scheme of MSP for MFP were
revised in February 2019 and “Van Dhan Vikas
Kayryakram (VDVK)” an initiative targeting
livelihood generation through various skill up
gradation training and adoption of scientific
collection, harvesting and primary processing of
the MFPs was introduced. Powers were delegated
to TRIFED to consider proposals for sanction of
Vandhan Kendras. The objective of VDVKs is
to create a tribal enterprise consisting of tribal
gatherers/entrepreneurs, who would collectively
undertake all related activities including collection,
value-addition, packaging, branding and marketing
of value-added products.
2.16 Institutional Support for Development
and Marketing of Tribal Products/ Produce:
Under the scheme, funds are given to TRIFED,
which functions both as a service provider and
market developer for tribal products. It markets
tribal products through the network of its retail
outlets ‘TRIBES INDIA’ in the country. TRIFED
also imparts training to Scheduled Tribe Artisans
and Minor Forest Produce (MFP) gatherers. Under
the scheme, grants-in-aid are also released to State
Tribal Development Cooperative Corporations
(STDCCs). Objective of this Scheme is to create
institutions for the Scheduled Tribes to support
marketing and development of activities, other
than MFP related activities, that they depend on for
their livelihood. These are sought to be achieved
by specific measures like (i) market intervention;
(ii) training and skill up-gradation of tribal artisans,
craftsmen, etc. and (iii) supply chain infrastructure
development.
Preservation and Promotion of Tribal Culture
and Heritage
2.17 Ministry extends support to the State
Governments through the Scheme ‘Support to
Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs)’ to set up new
TRIs and also to strengthen existing TRIs for
research & documentations, training and capacity
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
building, promotion of rich tribal heritage, etc.
There are 27 TRIs across the country and Ministry
is in process of making National Tribal Research
Institute functional, which will coordinate
activities of these TRIs and act as a think tank in
providing inputs to Ministry on critical issues on
holistic tribal development.
2.18 The scheme ‘Tribal Festival, Research
Information and Mass Education’, is aimed
at promotion of rich tribal cultural heritage,
dissemination of information and creation of
awareness, including organization of tribal
craft & food festivals, sports, music, dance
& photo competitions, science, art & craft
expos, workshops, seminars, production of
documentary films by the Ministry & States,
bringing out publications highlighting significant
studies, documenting historical facets of tribal
communities, achievements of Ministry of Tribal
Affairs (MoTA) & State Departments besides
other necessary publicity at regular intervals.
With a view to fill the gap of research studies on
tribal issues, MoTA under the scheme “ Financial
Assistance for Support to Centres of Excellence”,
recognizes renowned NGOs, Research Institutes,
Universities where expertise exists and which have
already made a mark by carrying out pioneering
research in the field of tribal life and culture. It
is envisaged that such organizations would play
an important role in building knowledge bank
and complementing efforts of Tribal Research
Institutes in the States for devising appropriate
strategies for tribal development by the Union and
State Government.
National Commission for Schedule Tribes
2.19 The Office of the Commissioner for
Scheduled Castes (SCs) & Scheduled Tribes (STs)
was created in 1950 for effective implementation
of various safeguards provided in the Constitution
for the SCs & STs and various other protective
legislations. In addition to it, a multi-member
16
Commission for SCs and STs was set up in 1978.
In 1992, these two organizations were replaced by
a statutory multi-member National Commission
for SCs and STs. Since the needs, problems and
the solutions required for STs were quite different
from those of SCs, a special approach for tribal
development and an independent machinery
to safeguard the rights of STs was considered
necessary. Accordingly, a separate National
Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) was
set up with effect from 19th February, 2004 by
amending Article 338 and inserting a new Article
338A in the Constitution, through Constitution
(Eighty-ninth Amendment) Act, 2003.
The main duties of the Commission are to
investigate and monitor all matters relating to the
safeguards provided for the Scheduled Tribes and
to evaluate the working of such safeguards, and
to inquire into specific complaints with respect
to the deprivation of rights and safeguards of the
Scheduled Tribes. The Commission is vested with
all the powers of a civil court trying a suit while
investigating any matter or inquiring into any such
complaint.
Monitoring of Central Schedule Tribe
Component (STC) and State Tribal sub Plan
2.20 Ministry of Tribal Affairs is the nodal ministry
to monitor Tribal Sub Plan (TSP)/Scheduled Tribal
Component (STC)/ Development Action Plan for
STs (DAPST) funds which are earmarked under
various schemes of 40 Ministries / Departments
(excluding Ministry of Tribal Affairs) for welfare
and development of STs. An online monitoring
system (https://stcmis.gov.in) integrated with
PFMS has been designed to monitor the allocation
and utilization of TSP funds by these Ministries/
Departments.
Scheduling of Tribal communities
2.21 One of the important functions of the
Ministry is the scheduling / de-scheduling of the ST

communities. Scheduled Tribes are notified under
Article 342 of the Constitution. Proposals received
from State Governments/ UT Administrations, for
scheduling of communities as Scheduled Tribes
are processed according to extant modalities
which were approved on 15.6.1999 and further
amended on 25.6.2002. Likewise, the Ministry is
the nodal authority responsible for the inclusion
and exclusion of areas as provided in Schedule V
of the Constitution.
Implementation of Forest Rights Act:
2.22 The Government enacted the Scheduled
Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers
(Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, which is
commonly known as Forest Rights Act (FRA) as
notified on 31.12.2007. The Act came into operation
with the notification of Rules on 01.01.2008 for
carrying out the provisions of the Act. The Act also
empowers the forest rights holders, Gram Sabhas
and village level institutions with the right to
protect the wild life, forest and biodiversity.
Improving Tribal Health
2.23 Health and wellbeing of the vulnerable
population is a priority area for the government.
There are gaps between the health outcomes
2.25 The Ministry in collaboration with Central
TB Division, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare
has communicated a joint letter dated 13.10.2020
17
Annual Report | 2021-22
of India’s tribal population vis-à-vis general
population. Maternal mortality, under-five
mortality, and malnutrition rates are much higher
among tribal groups, in addition to a higher
incidence of malaria, tuberculosis, several other
communicable diseases and genetic diseases
like Sickle Cell Disease. There is also a lack of
credible data on health situation of different tribal
communities, which was pointed out by expert
committee also. Though there is no separate
scheme for tribal health, Ministry has taken
various initiatives with the funds available under
the existing schemes. Ministry has prepared Tribal
Health Action Plan and has shared with all States,
MoHFW, NITI Aayog and asked all States to
submit proposals in the PIPs based on the existing
gaps in tribal health infrastructure in tribal areas.
2.24 Ministry has developed Swasthya, which is
a single point source for presenting the health and
nutrition related data and information of the tribal
population of India in 177 districts with significant
tribal population. It also provides information
about innovative practices, research briefs, case
studies and best practices collected from different
parts of India to facilitate exchange of evidence,
expertise and experiences.
to all States enclosing the Joint Action Plan to
address the burden of TB in tribal population. On
7th April 2021, Ministry also launched Tribal Health
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
Collaborative where MoTA, MoHFW, MoWCD,
NITI Aayog and Civil Society Organizations
like Piramal Foundation, USAID and other non-
government organizations chalked out a plan to
work together in 50 aspirational districts on tribal
health issues. Ministry also established a Health
Cell for filling critical gaps in tribal health through
effective monitoring of Schedule Tribe Component
(STC) available with sectoral Ministries.
2.26 The “Swathya Portal”, Tribal Health
Plan, Joint Action Plan on TB and Tribal Health
Collaborative provide critical data for tribal health.

strategy to improve the health services in tribal
areas by way of providing health infrastructure
along with essential human resources and infusion
of technology while preserving and promoting the
traditional medicinal practices as well as age-old
healing techniques, is expected to fetch holistic

2.28 Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic
condition, widespread among the tribal population
in India. Prevalence of Sickle Cell Anaemia is
higher in tribal belt of Central, Western and Eastern
18
India from Gujarat to Odisha. It is estimated
that about 1 in 86 births among STs have SCD.
Nearly 20 per cent of tribal children with SCD die
before reaching the age of two, and 30% children
die before reaching adulthood. In order to assess
the gravity of the problem in 2016-17, workshops
were conducted in States in collaboration with
Department of Biotechnology for mapping of
incidences of Sickle Cell Trait. States were also
given funds for screening of tribal students in
collaboration with ICMR. As reported by various
States, out of the 1,13,83,664 persons screened,
about 8.75%, i.e., 9,96,368 tested positive.
9,49,057 had sickle cell trait and 47,311 had sickle
cell disease, which confirmed high prevalence of
SCD in tribals.
2.29 The issue has been inter-alia taken up
with Chief Secretary(s) vide D.O. letter dated
18.06.2021 that it should ensure that necessary
Infrastructure for diagnosis and treatment of
Sickle Cell Disease is available at PHC, CHC and
district level. The Ministry has also given funds to
many States for undertaking screening of targeted
population. On 19th June 2021, Ministry also
launched Unmukt project with mobile units for
strengthening, screening and timely management
of SCD in Khunti district of Jharkhand and
Kanker in Chhattisgarh, 2 tribal districts with high
prevalence of sickle cell disease among tribals.
2.30 MoTA has sanctioned a research study
program to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on sickle cell
disease wherein the organization is required to
prepare a manual on SCD for training of trainers
in medical colleges and modules for training of
medical officers at district hospitals and integrated
center for haemoglobinopathies and haemophilia.
Project will also cover 4-5 workshops for training
of trainers. As on date, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital
has prepared draft modules and these have been
scrutinized by Technical Expert Group (TEG)
consisting of experts in the field. Modules have
been approved by Directorate General of Health

Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health & Family
Welfare as training material for SCD.
2.31 A project named Integrated Sickle Cell
Anaemia Research Program “I-SCARP” has
been entrusted to Swami Vivekananda Yoga

Definition of Usual Principal Status (UPS): UPS
approach relates to the activity status of a person
during the 365 days preceding the date of survey.
The activity status on which a person has spent
relatively longer time (183 days or more) during
the period is considered the usual principal activity
status of the person.
Usual Principal and Subsidiary Status (UPSS):
Usual Principal and Subsidiary Status approach is
an extension to the principal status approach. If a
person has engaged in any economic activity for
a period of 30 days or more during the preceding
365 days a person is considered as employed under
this approach.

Major ST Communities
4.27 There are over 700 Scheduled Tribe
communities spread over different States and
Union Territories of the country. Within ST

more than 5% population in every State. These
have been identified and compiled State / UT wise.
In 31 States / UTs, out of more than 700 Scheduled
Tribe communities, 111 communities count each
≥ 5 % (of ST population of concerned State / UT).
These 111 communities add up to 803.25 lakhs,
i.e., 76.8% of total ST population. State / UT wise
details are given in Annexure-4O.

CHAPTER 5
SCHEDULED TRIBES AND SCHEDULED AREAS
Scheduled Tribes
5.1 Article 366 (25) of the Constitution of India
refers to Scheduled Tribes as those communities
who are scheduled in accordance with Article
342 of the Constitution. This Article says that
only those communities who have been declared
as such by the President through an initial public
notification or through a subsequent amending Act
of Parliament will be considered to be Scheduled
Tribes.
5.2 The list of Scheduled Tribes is State/UT
specific and a community declared as a Scheduled
Tribe in a State need not be so in another State/UT.
5.3 Scheduled Tribe communities live in about
15% of the country’s areas, in various ecological
and geo-climatic conditions ranging from plains
and forests to hills. Tribal groups are at different
stages of social, economic and educational
development. While some tribal communities
have adopted a mainstream way of life, at the other
end of the spectrum, there are certain Scheduled
Tribes, 75 in number known as Particularly
Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs in short) who
were earlier termed as Primitive Tribal Groups,
whose characteristics have been covered under
the Section on the Scheme for Conservation and
Development of PVTGs.
Major Tribes
5.4 There are over 700 Scheduled Tribes notified
under Article 342 of the Constitution of India,
spread over different States and Union Territories
of the country. Many tribes are present in more
than one State. The largest number of communities
48
listed as Scheduled Tribes are in the State of
Odisha, i.e. 62.
Scheduling and De-scheduling of Tribes
5.5 The term “Scheduled Tribes” is defined
in Article 366 (25) of the Constitution as “such
tribes or tribal communities or parts of, or groups
within such tribes, or tribal communities as are
deemed under Article 342 to be Scheduled Tribes
for the purposes of this Constitution”. Article 342
prescribes the procedure to be followed in the
matter of specification of Scheduled Tribes.
5.6 Under Clause (1) of Article 342, the
President may, with respect to any State or Union
Territory, and where it is a State, after consultation
with the Governor thereof, notify tribes or tribal
communities or parts of these as Scheduled Tribes.
This confers on the tribe, or part of it, a Constitutional
status invoking the safeguards provided for in
the Constitution, to these communities in their
respective States/UTs.
5.7 Clause (2) of the Article 342 empowers the
Parliament to pass a law to include in or exclude
from the list of Scheduled Tribes, any tribe or tribal
community or parts of these.
5.8 Thus, the first specification of a community
as Scheduled Tribe in relation to a particular
State/ Union Territory is by a notified order of
the President, after consultation with the State
Governments/UTs concerned. A list of Orders/
Acts specifying the Scheduled Tribes in relation
to the States and the Union Territories is at
Annexure - 5A. The Presidential Orders have
been amended by Acts of Parliament.

5.9 The criteria followed for specification of a
community as a Scheduled Tribe are:
• Indications of primitive traits,
• Distinctive culture,
• Geographical isolation,
• Shyness of contact with the community at
large, and
• Backwardness.
5.10 These criteria are not spelt out in the
Constitution but have become well established
and accepted. It takes into account the definitions
in the 1931 Census, the reports of the first
Backward Classes Commission (Kalelkar), 1955,
the Advisory Committee on Revision of SC/
ST lists (Lokur Committee), 1965 and the Joint
Committee of Parliament on the Scheduled Castes
and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Bill,
1967 and Chanda Committee, 1969.
5.11 The State/Union Territory-wise list of
Scheduled Tribes is at Annexure - 5B. No
community has been specified as a Scheduled
Tribe in the States of Haryana and Punjab & Union
Territories of Chandigarh and Delhi.
Ascertaining ST Status of Individuals
5.12 Where a person claims to belong to a
Scheduled Tribe by birth it should be verified:
(i) That the person and his parents actually
belong to the community claimed;
(ii) That the community is included in the
Presidential Order specifying the Scheduled
Tribes in relation to the concerned State;
(iii) That the person belongs to that State and
to the area within that State in respect of
which the community has been scheduled;
(iv) That he or his parents/ grandparents,
etc., should be permanent resident of the
49
Annual Report | 2021-22
State/UT on the date of notification of the
Presidential Order applicable in his case;
(v) He may profess any religion.
5.13 A person who is temporarily away from his
permanent place of residence at the time of the
notification of the Presidential Order applicable
in his case, for example, to earn a living or
seek education, etc., can also be regarded as a
Scheduled Tribe, if his tribe community has been
specified in that Order in relation to his State/
Union Territory. But he cannot be treated as such
in relation to the place of his temporary residence
notwithstanding the fact that the name of his tribe
has been scheduled in respect of that State where
he is temporarily settled, in any Presidential Order.
5.14 In the case of persons born after the date of
notification of the relevant Presidential Order, the
place of residence for the purpose of acquiring
Scheduled Tribe status, is the place of permanent
abode of their parents at the time of the notification
of the Presidential Order under which they claim
to belong to such a tribe. This does not apply to
the STs of the Lakshadweep for whom there is a
requirement of being born in the UT in order to be
eligible for ST status.
5.15 Scheduled Tribe claims on Migration
i) Where a person migrates from the portion
of the State in respect of which his / her
community is scheduled to another part of
the same State in respect of which his / her
community is not scheduled, the person
will continue to be deemed to be a member
of the Scheduled Tribe, in relation to that
State;
ii) Where a person migrates from one State
to another, he can claim to belong to a
Scheduled Tribe only in relation to the
State to which he originally belonged and
not in respect of the State to which he has
migrated.
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
Scheduled Tribe claims through Marriage
5.16 The guiding principle is that no person who
is not a Scheduled Tribe by birth will be deemed to
be a member of Scheduled Tribe merely because
he or she has married a person belonging to a
Scheduled Tribe. Similarly, a person who is a
member of a Scheduled Tribe will continue to be a
member of that Scheduled Tribe, even after his or
her marriage with a person who does not belong to
a Scheduled Tribe.
Issue of Scheduled Tribe Certificates
5.17 The candidates belonging to Scheduled
Tribes may get Scheduled Tribe certificates, from
any one of the authorities as specified by State
Governments concerned.
Punishments for officials issuing Scheduled
Tribe Certificate without proper verification
5.18 Action is to be taken under the relevant
provisions of the Indian Penal Code if any official
is found to have issued a Scheduled Tribe certificate
carelessly and without proper verification. This
will be in addition to other action to which they
are liable under the appropriate disciplinary rules
applicable to them.
Liberalization of procedure for issue of
Scheduled Tribe certificate to migrants from
other States/ Union Territories.
5.19 Persons belonging to a Scheduled Tribe,
who have migrated from one State to another
for the purpose of employment, education,
etc., experience great difficulty in obtaining ST
certificates from the State from which they have
migrated. In order to remove this difficulty, it has
been decided that the prescribed authority of a
State Government/ Union Territory Administration
may issue a Scheduled Tribe certificate to a
person, who has migrated from another State, on
the production of the genuine certificate issued
to his father/ mother by the prescribed authority
of the State of the father/ mother’s origin except
where the prescribed authority feels that a detailed
50
enquiry is necessary through the State of origin
before issue of the certificate. The certificate
will be issued irrespective of whether the tribe in
question is scheduled or not in relation to the State/
Union Territory to which the person has migrated.
However, they would not be entitled to ST benefits
in the State they have migrated to.
Modalities for deciding claims for inclusion in,
or exclusion from and other modifications in the
orders specifying Scheduled Tribes.
5.20 In June, 1999, Government approved
modalities for deciding claims for inclusion in, or
exclusion from and other modification in the orders
specifying the lists of Scheduled Tribes. These
modalities were further revised on 25.6.2002.
According to these approved guidelines, only those
claims that have been agreed to by the concerned
State Government/ UTAdministration, the Registrar
General of India and the National Commission
for Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (now
National Commission for STs) will be taken up
for consideration. Whenever representations are
received in the Ministry for inclusion/ exclusion
of any community in/from the list of Scheduled
Tribes of a State/ UT, the Ministry forwards the
representation to the concerned State Government/
UT Administration for recommendation as
required under Article 342 of the Constitution. If
the concerned State Government/UT recommends
the proposal, then the same is sent to the Registrar
General of India (RGI). The RGI, if satisfied with
the recommendation of the State Government/
UT, recommends the proposal to the Central
Government. Thereafter, the Government refers
the proposal to the National Commission for
Scheduled Tribes for their recommendation. If the
National Commission for Scheduled Tribes also
recommends the case, the matter is processed for
the decision of the Cabinet. Thereafter, the matter
is put up before the Parliament in the form of a
Bill to amend the Presidential Order. Cases for
inclusion / exclusion which the State Government
/ UT or the RGI, or the National Commission for
Scheduled Tribes does not support, are rejected.

Scheduled Areas
5.21 The Scheduled Tribes mostly live in
contiguous areas unlike other communities. It is,
therefore, much simpler to have an area approach
for development activities as well as regulatory
provisions to protect their interests. In order to
protect the interests of Scheduled Tribes with regard
to land and other social issues, various provisions
have been enshrined in the Fifth Schedule and the
Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
Fifth Schedule
5.22 The Fifth Schedule under Article 244 (1)
of the Constitution contains provisions regarding
administration of Scheduled Areas. The provisions
of Section 6 of Part C of the Fifth Schedule of the
Constitution are as follows:
“Scheduled Areas –
(1) In this Constitution, the expression
“Scheduled Areas” means such areas as
the President may by order declare to be
Scheduled Areas.
(2) The President may at any time by order-
(a) direct that the whole or any specified part
of a Scheduled Area shall cease to be a
Scheduled Area or a part of such an area;
(aa) increase the area of any Scheduled Area in
a State after consultation with the Governor
of that State;
(b) alter, but only by way of rectification of
boundaries, any Scheduled Area;
(c) on any alteration of the boundaries of a State
or on the admission into the Union or the
establishment of a new State, declare any
territory not previously included in any
State to be, or to form part of, a Scheduled
Area;
51
Annual Report | 2021-22
(d) rescind, in relation to any State or States,
any order or orders made under this
paragraph, and in consultation with the
Governor of the State concerned, make
fresh orders redefining the areas which are
to be Scheduled Areas;
and any such order may contain such incidental and
consequential provisions as appear to the President
to be necessary and proper, but save as aforesaid,
the order made under sub-paragraph (1) of this
paragraph shall not be varied by any subsequent
order.”
Criteria for Declaration of Scheduled Areas
5.23 Criteria for declaring any area as a “Scheduled
Area” under the Fifth Schedule are:
(i) Preponderance of tribal population,
(ii) Compactness and reasonable size of the
area,
(iii) A viable administrative entity such as a
district, block or taluk, and
(iv) Economic backwardness of the area as
compared to the neighboring areas.
The above criteria for declaration of Scheduled
Areas are as such not spelt out in the Constitution,
but have become well established.
Coverage of Scheduled Areas
5.24 At present, Scheduled Areas have been
declared in the States of Andhra Pradesh (including
Telangana), Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal
Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Odisha and Rajasthan. The State-wise list of
Scheduled Areas is given at Annexure – 5 C.
Law Applicable to Scheduled Areas
5.25 Provisions of Para 5 of Fifth Schedule of
the Constitution, relating to role of the Governor
of a State, which has Scheduled Areas, are given
below:
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
“(1) Notwithstanding anything in this
Constitution, the Governor may by public
notification direct that any particular Act
of Parliament or of the Legislature of the
State shall not apply to a Scheduled Area or
any part thereof in the State or shall apply
to a Scheduled Area or any part thereof in
the State subject to such exceptions and
modifications as he / she may specify in the
notification and any direction given under
this sub-paragraph may be given so as to
have retrospective effect.
(2) The Governor may make regulations for
the peace and good government of any
area in a State which is for the time being a
Scheduled Area.
In particular and without prejudice to the generality
of the foregoing power, such regulations may—
(a) prohibit or restrict the transfer of land
by or among members of the Scheduled
Tribes in such area;
(b) regulate the allotment of land to
members of the Scheduled Tribes in
such area;
(c) regulate the carrying on of business
as money-lender by persons who lend
money to members of the Scheduled
Tribes in such area.
(3) In making any such regulation as is referred
to in sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph,
the Governor may repeal or amend any
Act of Parliament or of the Legislature of
the State or any existing law which is for
the time being applicable to the area in
question.
(4) All regulations made under this paragraph
shall be submitted forthwith to the
President and, until assented to by him,
shall have no effect.
(5) No regulation shall be made under this
52
paragraph unless the Governor making
the regulation has, in the case where there
is a Tribes Advisory Council for the State,
consulted such Council.”
Report by the Governor to the President

Sixth Schedule
5.32 The Sixth Schedule under Article 244 (2)
of the Constitution makes provisions as to the
administration of Tribal Areas in the States of
Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. It
also has provisions for autonomous districts and
autonomous regions in such areas. The subject
matter relating to Sixth Schedule comes under the
purview of Ministry of Home Affairs.
Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA)
/ Integrated Tribal Development Project
(ITDP), Modified Area Development Approach
(MADA) Pockets and Clusters
5.33 The strategy of tribal development is based
on approach of protection of interest of tribals
through administrative support and promotion
of development efforts through Tribal Sub-Plan.
Government of India introduced during Fifth
Five Year Plan, institutional and administrative
measures such as Integrated Tribal Development
Agency (ITDA) / Integrated Tribal Development
Project (ITDP) for effective implementation and
delivery of services in tribal concentration areas.
During Sixth Five Year Plan Period, Modified Area
Development Approach (MADA) was adopted
to cover smaller areas with total population of
10,000 and Scheduled Tribes (ST) concentration
of 50% or more. During Seventh Five Year Plan
onward, Clusters were identified to cover smaller
areas of tribal concentration with minimum total
population of about 5,000 and Scheduled Tribes
(ST) concentration of 50% or more. Government of
India has declared 193 ITDPs / ITDAs in 18 States
and 2 Union Territories, namely, Andhra Pradesh,
Assam, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh,
Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh,
54
Maharashtra, Manipur, Odisha, Rajasthan, Sikkim,
Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal,
Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Daman & Diu.
5.34 Integrated Tribal Development Project
(ITDP) is an area of size of one or more
Development Blocks in which ST population is
50% or more of total population of such Blocks.
Complete development block / panchayat samiti is
the minimum constituent unit of an ITDP. There
can be more than one ITDP in a District. Area of
an ITDP may even consist of Blocks of more than
one Districts. In such cases, ITDP will normally
be named after its headquarter location or district
where its headquarter is located.
5.35 Integrated Tribal Development Agency
(ITDA) historically so called in Andhra Pradesh,
Odisha and Telangana amongst other States,
is concerned authority with jurisdiction for
administration of tribal development projects.
Hence an ITDA (i.e., agency or authority) should
have jurisdiction over ITDPs (Consisting of full
blocks/ Panchayat Samitis), MADA and Cluster
pockets as well. Even dispersed tribal population
of a district can also be within the jurisdiction of
concerned district ITDA.
5.36 Modified Area Development Approach
(MADA) Pockets are identified pockets (consisting
of one or more revenue villages) in contiguous
areas with a concentration of tribals 50 % or more
within total population of 10,000 or more in such
areas. The minimum constituent unit of a MADA
Pocket shall be the village and it should be named
after the village having highest percentage of ST
population among the villages covering more than
one revenue villages in the MADA areas.
5.37 Clusters are identified pockets (with one or
more revenue village (s) being constituent units)
with a concentration of tribals 50 % or more within
total population of 5,000 or more in such area. The
minimum constituent unit of a Cluster shall be a
village and it should be named after the village
having highest percentage of ST population in the
Cluster.

CHAPTER 6
TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND
PROGRAMMES
Background
6.1 The population of Scheduled Tribes (STs)
in the country, as per Census 2011 is 10.45 crore.
STs constitute 8.6 percent of the country’s total
population. Tribal development has been at the
centre stage of the Government of India since
independence. There have been challenges in
achieving desired pace of development among
tribal people. This is mainly on account of their
traditional life styles, remoteness of habitations,
dispersed population and displacement. Tribal
Sub Plan (TSP)/Developmental Action Plan for
STs (DAPST)/Scheduled Tribe Component (STC)
strategy was adopted by Government in 5th Five
Year Plan (1974-75) for accelerated development of
tribal people. It envisages channelizing the flow of
outlays & benefits from all sectors of development
to ST population. TSP /DAPST/ STC funds are
dedicated source of funds for tribal development.
40 Central Ministries (excluding Ministry of Tribal
Affairs) have been mandated to earmark Tribal
Sub-Plan funds in the range of 4.3% to 17.5% of
their total Scheme allocation every year for tribal
development. Ministry of Tribal Affairs provides
additive to these initiatives by way of plugging
gaps. The efforts made through TSP /DAPST/ STC
Strategy have brought out some improvements
for tribals in terms of various indices relating to
literacy, health, livelihood, etc. However, there still
exist gaps in human development indices between
Scheduled Tribes and other social groups.
6.2 As per Budget 2021-22, there are 41 Central
Ministries and Departments having TSP/DAPST/
STC funds catering to tribal development in over
260 different schemes, as reflected in Statement
56
10B of the Expenditure Profile of the Union
Budget 2021-22. The allocation for the welfare
of Scheduled Tribes across all Ministries has
witnessed an increase from Rs. 31,920.00 crore
in 2017-18 to Rs. 37803.26 crore in 2018-19, Rs.
51283.53 crore in 2019-20, Rs. 52024.23 crore in
2020-21 and Rs. 78256.31 crore in 2021-22.
Monitoring of STC / Tribal Sub-Scheme
6.3 Allocation of Business Rules (ABR) has
been amended in January, 2017 whereby Ministry
of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) has been given mandate
for monitoring of TSP /DAPST/ STC funds of
Central Ministries/Departments based on the
framework and mechanism designed by NITI
Aayog. An online monitoring system has been put
in place by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs with web
address: https://stcmis.gov.in for monitoring of
TSP /DAPST/ STC funds. The framework captures
data directly from Public Finance Management
System (PFMS) and gives us inputs to see through
expenditure vis-a-vis allocations. Monitoring of
physical performance and outcome of initiatives
has also been introduced in the system. A
customized proforma has been developed in the
MIS to capture location of the ongoing projects and
beneficiary details. Further, Nodal Officer has been
designated in the line Ministries / Departments
for coordination and monitoring. The necessary
credentials have been shared with nodal officers
for uploading data regarding output and outcome.
6.4 As on 12/01/2022, 67.59 percent of the
total allocated TSP/DAPST/STC, funds has
been released by different Central Ministries /
Departments against various development projects
relating to education, health, agriculture, irrigation,

6.6 Salient features of Guidelines for Central
TSP are as follows:
• Ministries / Departments have to estimate
gaps, prioritize development needs of STs
and orient the schemes to bridge the gaps.
• Schemes designed under TSP should yield
direct and quantifiable benefits to ST
Individuals/Household/ Habitats.
• The percentage allocation indicated should
be considered only the minimum and as a
floor percentage.
• Ministries / Departments having obligation
of earmarking more than 8.2% under TSP
may have a full time Joint Secretary level
officer to head the TSP Unit.
• Nodal Units, to be headed by a Joint Secretary
(Planning) or Economic Adviser should be
set up in all Ministries / Departments, which
have obligations to earmark under SCSP
and TSP, with requisite full time supporting
staff.
6.7 MoTA and NITI Aayog have been holding
periodic meetings with Central Ministries /
Departments having TSP/STC funds. Review
meetings under the Chairmanship of Secretary,
Tribal Affairs with representatives of obligated
Ministries/Departments were held during August
- October 2021. In the meetings, it has been
reiterated to the Ministries / Departments that TSP/
DAPST/STC funds should be as per the prescribed
percentage in vogue. Further, it was reiterated
that the allocation percentage prescribed may be
adhered to and also share the physical progress
of work sanctioned out of STC funds including
location of the projects and beneficiary details.

Details of Ministries / Department-wise allocation Guidelines for implementation of TSP by States/
of TSP funds from 2019-20 to 2021-22 are given UTs on 18th June 2014. The guidelines, inter
in Annexure - 6A. alia, reiterate the resolve of the Government for
States TSP allocation of funds under TSP out of total Outlays
not less than the population proportion of STs
6.8 Erstwhile Planning Commission had revised in the State as per 2011 Census. The guidelines

59
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
further stipulate for non-diversion of funds meant
for tribal areas and comprehensive monitoring
framework with well-defined indicators, covering
provisioning, service delivery standards as well as
outcomes.
The objective of the Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP)
is to bridge the gap between Scheduled Tribe
(ST) population and others by accelerating the
development of STs by securing to them: (i) Human
resource development by enhancing their access
to education and health services, (ii) Enhanced
quality of life by providing basic amenities in tribal
areas/localities including housing; (iii) Substantial
reduction in poverty and unemployment, creation
of productive assets and income generating
opportunities (iv) Enhanced capacity to avail
opportunities, gain rights and entitlements and
improved facilities at par with other areas, and (v)
Protection against exploitation and oppression.
As per the provisions of TSP Guidelines, funds
shall be earmarked / allocated to the TSP subject to
the following conditions:
i. The expenditure under TSP is meant only
for meeting the development deficit, as
an additional financial support, over and
above the normal provisions which should
be available to STs, like others, in various
schemes, including in flagship programmes.
ii. The funds under TSP are earmarked from
the total plan outlays (not excluding
the investments under externally aided
Projects-EAPs and any other scheme), not
less than the population proportion of STs
in the State as per 2011 Census etc.
iii. The funds should be earmarked well in
advance, at least six months, prior to
commencement of the financial year. The
size of the TSP fund thus earmarked shall
60
be communicated to all departments for
commencing process of preparation of TSP
of each department.
iv. There shall not be any notional allocations,
that don’t have flows/schemes directly
benefiting STs.
v. Special attention shall be paid to allocate
more funds to STs residing in the Scheduled
Areas.
vi. Due to physical remoteness and difficult
terrain of tribal habitations, financial norms
may need to be higher in tribal areas as
compared to general areas. This should
be ensured so that service standards in ST
areas are not compromised.
vii. Every State/UT shall undertake skill
mapping and allocate funds under TSP
for skill development of tribal youth and
set monitorable targets under poverty and
employment.
viii. The synergy of inter-sectoral programmes
and an integrated approach/convergence
with other schemes / programmes are
ensured for efficient utilization of resources.
ix. The departments, in consultation with
Nodal Department, shall prepare the TSP
to promote equity in development among
various social groups within STs.
x. To ensure non-divertibility, funds under
TSP shall be earmarked under a separate
Minor Head below the functional major
Head/Sub-Major Heads.

Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-
Scheme (SCA to TSS)
6.10 Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-
Scheme (SCA to TSS) is 100% grant from GOI
(since 1977-78). This grant is utilized for economic
development of ITDP, ITDA, MADA, Clusters,
PVTGs and dispersed tribal population. An amount
of Rs.785.00 crore has been allocated at Revised
Estimate (RE) stage under the scheme of ‘SCA to
TSS’ for the year 2021-22.
6.11 The scheme of Special Central Assistance
to Tribal Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS) is being
redesigned into ‘Special Central Assistance for
Integrated Tribal Village Development (SCA for

such recognition and vesting in respect of forest
land. The Act also empowers the forest rights
holders, Gram Sabha and village level institutions
to protect the wildlife, forest and biodiversity.

Ministry of Tribal Affairs
activity which adversely affects the wild animals,
forest and the bio-diversity are complied with.
(8) Section 6 (Chapter IV) of the Act deals with
the authorities and procedures to vest forest
rights in forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and
other traditional forest dwellers. There is a three
tier structure of authorities to vest forest rights;
the Gram Sabha is the initiating authority for
determining the nature and extent of individual or
community forest rights or both that may be given
to the forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other
traditional forest dwellers. The Sub Divisional
Level Committee examines the resolution passed
by the Gram Sabha and forwards it to the District
Level Committee for the final decision. Any
person aggrieved by the resolution of the Gram
Sabha may prefer a petition to the Sub-Divisional
Level Committee and any person aggrieved by the
decision of the Sub-Divisional Level Committee

Committee to monitor the process of recognition
and vesting of forest rights and to submit to the
nodal agency such returns and reports as may be
called by that agency.

CHAPTER 8
PROGRAMMES FOR PROMOTION OF EDUCATION
8.1 Ministry of Tribal Affairs has initiated
several schemes and programmes for promotion
of education among Schedules Tribes. These are
given below:
Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS)
8.2 In Union Budget of 2018-19, Government of
India announced that to provide quality education
to the tribal children in their own environment,
EMRS school will be established in every block
having more than 50% ST population and at least
20,000 tribal persons (as per census 2011). The
scheme was approved by the cabinet on 17.1.2018
for establishing 452 new schools based on
population criteria. These EMRSs would be at par
with Navodaya Vidyalayas with special facilities
for preserving local art and culture besides
providing training in sports and skill development.
The revamped programme was launched by the
Hon’ble Prime Minister on 12th September, 2019
at Ranchi, Jharkhand.
8.3. Prior to launch of the revamped scheme, a
total of 288 EMRS were sanctioned under Grants
under Article 275(1) since 1998, out of which
200 schools were functional. The recurring cost
per student was Rs. 61,000 and funding given for
construction of these schools was Rs. 12 crore in
plain areas and 16 crore in hilly areas. The extant
recurring cost per student in comparison to the
cost of construction of school was not enough to
gear up the schools to meet the growing needs for
providing quality education and meet the rising
expectations from various stakeholders. Further,
there was no uniformity in management of these
schools. Different States had different curriculum
and different standards of education. Almost
every aspect of the school including construction,
69
Annual Report | 2021-22
academics, sports & co-curricular, teaching & non-
teaching staff and the management of the schools
required overhauling to transform the EMRSs
into institutions of quality education for holistic
development of tribal students.
8.4. Under the new scheme, 452 new EMRS would
be set up across country. With 288 schools already
sanctioned under the old scheme, total number of
schools to be set up becomes 740 (288+452). It
is envisaged that by 2025 every block with more
than 50% ST population or at least 20,000 ST
persons would have EMRS functioning from its
own building with 480 students each. The States
have option of setting up Eklavya Model Day
Boarding Schools (EMDBS) in sub-districts with
90% or more ST population and 20,000 or more
tribal persons. 15 Centre of Excellence for sports
would be set up with state of art infrastructure
(buildings, equipment etc.) and facilities for two
identified sports (including one group sport and
one individual sport) to promote sports amongst
tribals.
8.5 Construction of EMRS requires provision
of 15 acres of land for creating a conducive
environment for imparting quality education and
provisioning of infrastructure towards sports &
extra-curricular activities. Facilities in the school
include state-of-the-art classrooms; fully equipped
labs; library; administrative facilities for Principal
and Staff; sanitation and drinking water facility;
sports and games facilities (indoor and outdoor).
Other facilities include Hostels for boys and girls,
kitchen & dining hall and residential quarters for
teaching and non-teaching staff, etc.
As per the norms 60 students per class divided into
two sections with 30 students each from class VI to

of eligible students are examined by the screening
committee online and 20 candidates are selected
by the expert committee, consisting of 10 experts
from Engineering, Medical. Management and Arts
faculty from reputed Institutes.
8.38 UMANG APP: National Fellowship scheme
and National Overseas Scholarship scheme has
been integrated with UMANG of MeiTY. The
students can now use mobile app for filling and
viewing the applications under these schemes.
8.39 E-initiatives (DBT Portal): Till 2018,
both Pre and Post Matric schemes were being
implemented in manual mode by many States. The
applications were called in physical form and were
verified manually by concerned institutes / District
authorities. Even in Central Sector Schemes, the
processing and verification process being paper
based was cumbersome, time-consuming resulting
in delayed payment of scholarships with higher
possibility of fake beneficiaries and fraudulent
institutes getting benefits. There were scholarship
scams in many States. Due to huge pendency
of arrears combined with absence of robust
communication or grievance redressal mechanism
with States and students, there were several High
Court Cases and Disputes in Inter-State Council.
DBT Mission in 2018 issued detailed guidelines
with directions to digitize the entire process of
scholarship release to ensure amount of scholarship
is directly transferred to Aadhar linked bank
account of student with development of scheme
specific MIS having facility to capture beneficiary
information. All the 5 schemes are managed
through dedicated scheme specific portals.

Accordingly, the entire process of implementation
of scholarship schemes has been reformed with
shift from paper-based format to digital mode with
following features.
(i). Data sharing by States, Data analytics and
Performance Dashboard: All States/UTs are now
having either their own portal or using National
Scholarship Portal (NSP) developed by MeiTY for
inviting and processing applications. Since these
portals are on different platforms, using different
databases and different formats, a 31-field common
format has been designed for data sharing by the
states so as to capture beneficiary details, bank
details, location of the school, course details and
transaction details. In DBT Portal, the States have
been given facility to share beneficiary data online
through Web services, Excel/CSV file or through
Manual Entry of Data depending on IT capability
of State. The States have also been given facilities
to upload queries, documents utilisation certificate,
and Statement of Expenditure online and
communicate with Ministry Officials which has
reduced processing time and reduced grievances.
The entire data is cleaned, compiled, collated and
shared with Centre of Excellence for Data Analytics
(CEDA), managed by NIC. The data is analysed
for detection of duplicate and fraudulent cases and
the data analytics reports are shared with States to
improve scholarship delivery mechanism. The data
is also used for evaluating performance of various
States and shared on Performance Dashboard of
Ministry. The compiled data is also shared with
DBT Mission, Prayas Dashboard and NITI Aayog
for monitoring Output Outcome Indicators.
(ii). Integration with Digi-Locker: Both
Fellowship and Overseas Scholarship Portals have

pursuing research, have been integrated with
Fellowship portal through “Verification Module”,
wherein the registered nodal officer of university
can view documents available on Digi-Locker
and documents uploaded by the scholar and can
approve or reject application digitally.
(iv). Grievance Redressal and Communication
Mechanism: For faster communication and
grievance redressal, all stakeholders, i.e., students,
universities, authorised bank for disbursal and Digi-
Lockers have been registered with “Communication
Module” of Fellowship Portal. Students are also
provided with continuous guidance through User
Manual, Video Clipping, Phone Helpline, emails,
Remote Access by Help Desk.
These initiatives have resulted in a paradigm shift
from manual paper-based UC-based monitoring
to databased online monitoring. There is mapping
of funds released and their utilisation. Verification
process has been strengthened and it has prevented
fake and fraudulent cases and resulted in time
saving with speedy and robust grievance redressal
mechanism. The performance of all stakeholders,
district wise details of beneficiaries and the
manner in which funds have been utilised is placed
in public domain through Performance Dashboard.
KPMG, as part of its mandate for NITI Aayog,
has carried out a national evaluation of Centrally
Sponsored Schemes focused on social inclusion
and has recognised the Direct Benefit Transfer
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
(DBT) Portal of Ministry of Tribal Affairs as a best
practice in e-governance, which has brought about
greater transparency, accountability and radical
improvement in service delivery to Scheduled
Tribe students. Ministry also won SKOCH Gold
Award for “Empowerment of Tribals through IT
enabled Scholarship Schemes” in 2020.
8.40 Ministry is implementing the scheme of
Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme
(SCA to TSS) and also gives funds to States
under Article 275(1) of the constitution based on
proposals submitted by States. Funds are provided
86
by the Ministry inter-alia for activities related to
education sector like addition to existing building
infrastructure, construction of co-ed residential
schools, construction of Girls and Boys Hostels,

CHAPTER 9
DEVELOPMENT OF PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE
TRIBAL GROUPS

Scheme for Development of Particularly
Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs)
9.1 There are certain groups among tribal
populations which have declining or stagnant
members, low level of literacy, pre-agricultural
level of technology and are economically backward.
These groups generally inhabit remote localities
and have poor infrastructure and administrative
support. 75 such groups in 18 States and one UT
have been identified and categorized as Particularly
Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). State-wise list
of PVTGs is given at Annexure-9A.
Scheme for the Development of PVTGs
9.2 While PVTG communities are being
assisted in all the schemes of Central Government,
Ministry of Tribal Affairs and the Tribal Welfare
Departments of the State Governments, a dedicated
scheme was started for such communities in
1998-99. This is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme
exclusively for development of PVTGs and 100%
funded by Central Government.
Scope and Implementation of the Scheme
9.3 The state submit the proposals focusing on
developmental activities for PVTGs, viz., housing,
land distribution, land development, agricultural
growth, cattle development, connectivity,
installation of non-conventional sources of energy
for lighting purpose, social security or any other
innovative activity meant for the comprehensive
socio-economic development of PVTGs. The
Conservation-Cum-Development (CCD) Plans
are prepared by the State Governments and Union
Territory of Andaman &Nicobar Islands for five
years by adopting habitat development approach
on the basis of data obtained from baseline or other
surveys conducted by them, and are approved by
the Project Appraisal Committee of the Ministry.
Examination and approval of the CCD/Annual
Plans
9.4 A Project Appraisal Committee (PAC) of
the Ministry, headed by Secretary, Tribal Affairs
examines the CCD / Annual Plan proposals of
the State Govt. / UT Administration and approves
funding for relevant activities. During 2021-22 (up
to 31.12.2021), the Ministry has released funds to
12 States/UTs (viz. Andhra Pradesh, Andaman &
Nicobar Island, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka,
Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil
Nadu, Telangana, Tripura and Uttarakhand) for
implementation of various projects activities under
their respective Conservation-cum-Development
(CCD) Plans during 2021-22.
Pattern of funding
9.5 It is a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme.
Funds are generally released to States/UT in one
or more instalments in accordance with the annual
programme proposed for a particular financial year
in the CCD Plan.
Monitoring & Evaluation
9.6 The Ministry has developed ADIGRAMS
Portal to monitor the physical and financial
progress of the scheme digitally. States have been
asked to conduct baseline survey for assessing the
population of PVTGs residing in the States/UTs.
The scheme has been evaluated by Indian Institute
of Public Administration (IIPA). The major
recommendations of IIPA are as under:

87
Ministry of Tribal Affairs

• All the States should constitute Micro Plan
projects under CCD Plan with emphasis not
only development of infrastructure but also
on strengthening the traditional livelihood
and skill development. The CCD Plans
should have a long-term view of 3 to 5
years.
• Issue of Caste Certificates with a provision
to mention that the individual belongs to
PVTG community in a Mission mode.
• Implementation of MSP to MFP scheme in
PVTG areas to ensure a fair price for the
forest produces.

• Provision of drinking water and sanitation,
creation of irrigation infrastructure and
connectivity of PVTG habitation with all-
weather roads.

Committee for approval, which is chaired by
Secretary, Ministry of Tribal Affairs. Details of
fund released to the States/UTs under the Scheme
“Support to Tribal Research Institutes” during the
financial year 2020-21 and 2021-22 is given in
Annexure-10B.
Revamping of TRIs and setting up of National
Tribal Research Institute (NTRI)
10.4 In 2015, NITI Aayog constituted a sub-
Group under the Chairmanship of Dr. S.M.
90
Jharawal, Chancellor, Indira Gandhi National
Tribal University, Amarkantak, with representation
from the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Ministry of
Culture, TRIs of Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh
and some non-official members/ experts. The
Sub-Group conducted SWOT analysis of TRIs
and evaluation study of some of the selected Tribal
Research Institutes through National Institute of
Labour Economics Research and Development
(NILERD) under the direction of NITI Aayog. The
sub group report found that there was no national
level institute for tribal research and development.
The activities of Tribal Research Institutes were
not inspiring and many of them were defunct due
to a lack of manpower, administrative constraints,
financial constraints, infrastructure constraints etc.
Though envisaged to work as body of knowledge
& research as a think tank for tribal development,
many TRIs were busy with routine administrative
work in the State Social Welfare / Tribal Welfare
Departments. Therefore, they failed to achieve the
assigned tasks.
10.5 Based on suggestions given in the report
by the Sub-Group, NITI Aayog asked Ministry
to revamp the infrastructure and facilities of State
Tribal Research Institutes and to set up National
Tribal Research Institute for better coordination
and quality of researches by State Tribal Research
Institutes. The budget of TRI scheme has increased
from Rs. 13 cr in 2013-14 to Rs 120 cr in 2019-20.
9 TRIs have been sanctioned after 2014-15. Under
scheme of “Support to TRIs” many States and UTs
have come forward for setting up State TRIs and
many existing TRIs have requested for funds for
upgrading infrastructure. TRI Uttrakhand building
was completed and inaugurated by Honble
Minister of Tribal Affairs and CM Uttrakhand in
2019 and TRI Andhra Pradesh on 15th August
2021. The details of new and existing TRIs who
have been given funds for construction and status
of construction is given as under.

10.6 As recommended by NITI Aayog, a National
Level Tribal Research Institute is being set up and
made functional at the campus of Indian Institute
of Public Administration (IIPA). The Institute
would build better coordination with State TRIs
and facilitate the Ministry of Tribal Affairs in
undertaking coordinated research in critical
areas concerning tribal development. Ministry
of Housing and Urban Development has been
requested to allot land in Delhi. CEO, NITI Aayog
has also taken up the matter for allotment of land
for NTRI.
10.7 It may be seen that till 2014-15, Tribal
Research Institute (TRI) functioned in 18 States
and 1 UT of Andaman & Nicobar Island. Now
there are 27 functional Tribal Research Institutes
across the country. New TRIs sanctioned in 9

Besides, funds were also sanctioned to Manipur,
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and
Odisha for strengthening of existing infrastructure.
Many of these TRIs are converted to societies
so as to function as autonomous bodies based
on NITI Aayog recommendations and for direct
transfer of funds. Setting-up of National Tribal
Research Institute at New Delhi would go a long
way in improving tribal research and for better
coordination and management of TRIs. The NTRI
aims to mentor and provide hand-holding support
to Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs) located in
various States, and to ensure quality and uniformity
in research works, evaluation studies, training,
awareness generation among tribals, showcasing
of rich tribal heritage including languages, habitats
etc.

would be dedicated to the contributions of the
tribal people in India to the freedom struggle, so
that the coming generations will be able to know
and appreciate about their sacrifices for the country.
These museums are going to be centres of tourist
attraction due to their location; architecture and
the audio-video displays being prepared and will
play an important role in preserving and promoting
tribal culture, handicraft and tribal art. These
museums will trace the history along the trails,
along which the tribal people in hills and forests
fought for their right to live and will, therefore,
combine ex situ display with in situ conservation,
regeneration initiatives. These museums will also
demonstrate the way tribal struggled for protecting
their forests, land rights, their culture and would
show the biological and cultural diversity of the
country, which is considered as very important
in nation building. Efforts are being made to
inaugurate Birsa Munda museum at Ranchi in 75th
year of Indian Independence.

Eco-rehabilitation of villages through Ice Stupas
in Ladakh in collaboration with SECMOL in
Ladak
10.15 Water is a critical life source for the
inhabitants of the Himalayan region of Leh &
Ladakh. Due to poor rainfall and shrinking of
glaciers, water has become a scarce resource,
causing disruption of agriculture and displacement
of villagers. The initiative is aimed at understanding
the extent of the water problem in villages of
Ladakh which are being abandoned due to water
scarcity. With community participation, solution of
the problem are being explored for applying the
rehabilitation framework to such villages through
setting up of Ice Stupas.
10.16 Ministry of Tribal Affairs in partnership
with the Students’ Educational and Cultural
Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL) are
demonstrating how these Ice Stupas, which store
under-utilized frozen water during the winter
months, can resolve the water and livelihood
problem during the summer months when the
dome-shaped stupas melt and feed the farms and
villages in the crucial sowing season. Since, 2019-
95
Annual Report | 2021-22
20, 25-30 Ice Stupas are being established every
year in selected villages storing water of more than
60 million litres. In the areas, where temperatures
fall below -30 degrees, Ice Stupas, which are
artificially created glacier structures, have been
created to store large quantities of water in the
form of ice during the harsh winter months. It is
a participative and collaborative model with joint
initiative of Government, NGOs and Corporate
Houses for bringing change through community
participation in becoming Atamnirbhar.
10.17 The initiative has helped in rehabilitation
of abandoned villages. In Kulum village, one of
the villages selected for pilot project, a total of
3 ice stupas and 7 horizontal artificial glaciers
were made during the winters of 2020-21. These
structures helped in conserving about 10 million
litres of water. The agricultural activities started in
Kulum village in the spring of 2021, after a gap of
15 years. Such initiatives can change economy of
the village by solving water problem, plantation of
trees and availability of water for irrigation. The
stupas are not only source of tourist attraction,
but also will help in their economic upliftment by
engaging locals in “Home Stay project”.
Ministry of Tribal Affairs

In 2019-20, 1st batch of Ecology and Ice Stupa various villages and backgrounds were trained in

Enhancing livelihoods and income of tribal
families with emphasis on apricot and vegetable
farming, agro-processing and agri allied
activities in Leh with Himmothan Society
10.18 Apricots of Ladakh are prized for their
quality and remain the main source of income
for the villagers in Sham valley (lower Ladakh).
Ladakh is the biggest apricot producer in India
with 62% share. The annual aggregate production
is 15,789 tonnes (Kargil: 10,656 tonnes and Leh:
5133 tonnes). Uniqueness of Ladakh apricot has
recently been proven by Defence Institute of
High Altitude Research (DIHAR), while Raktsay
Karpo (white kernel apricot) is known as the
world’s sweetest apricot with TSS 37.9 Brix°.
Lack of organised marketing and inefficient
drying methods causes 40-50% wastage of total
production. Efforts are being made by various
research institutes, government departments and
NGOs in introducing better harvesting techniques,
drying, processing, value addition and marketing
to reduce the wastage.
10.19 Ministry in collaboration with
Himmotthan Society (arm of Tata Trust) designed
a project for packaging and marketing of apricots
and vegetables in villages of Sham Valley in
Leh district lasting for 3 years. It is also aimed
at promoting agriculture and allied activities
by participatory action research programme for
agro-processing and market linkages. Keeping
in mind the area specific needs, Centre of
Excellence was opened. It served as the learning
and training centre, resolving various issues
concerning farmers and promotion of Vegetable
Farmer Producer Organization and Apricot Farmer
Producer Organization. The agro-processing units
and Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) were
supported in collectivisation of farm produces,
product branding, packaging and marketing. The
project also aimed at studying the traditional and
improved farming practices of tribal population
97
Annual Report | 2021-22
in Leh district through action research and
documentation. Based on requirement of the
area, Punjab Agriculture University developed
Forced Circulation Solar Apricot dryer which
was procured from Vishvakarma Solar Energy
Corporation, Phillaur, Punjab. It has 300 kg fresh
loading capacity which can dry apricots in 4-5
days. Solar dryer has been set up at Apricot Centre
of Excellence at Takamachik village.
10.20 The farmers now sell their produce directly
to markets through the FPO under with their own
unique brand “Juley Ladakh Apricot”, which has
been registered after registration of FPOs. This will
ensure higher income by avoiding the middlemen
and contractors. With establishment of Rural Mart
in Leh town and other urban areas for marketing of
vegetables, fruits and other rural products will run
throughout the year for fresh, stored and processed
vegetables and fruits. Gradually it is planned to
expand this programme in other neighbouring
villages, so that they too can take benefits from the
Centre of Excellence. It has facilitated in enhancing
the income and creating livelihood options of the
tribal population by realisation of better price for
farm produces. It has achieved strengthening
of agriculture value chain through productivity
enhancement, sorting, grading, packaging,
labelling and identify opportunity in market for
both the apricots and vegetables produce through
effective marketing channel which will boost the
income of farmer by eliminating middleman. Sham
Valley Apricot Producer Cooperative Limited has
got FSSAI licence, PAN and GST for starting its
business operations. Apricot sales on e-commerce
site like amazon are in process, while it’s branding
and marketing will be done through various
online channels and social media sites. Domestic
quarantine imposed on fresh apricot is taken up
by the Ministry with Ministry of Agriculture, GOI
to find a solution for further studies to control this

Self Reliance (Atmanirbhar) in tribal farmers through Organic Farming in Collaboration with
Art of Living Foundation
10.21 Agro-chemicals have slowly started to
penetrate tribal belts, which have for centuries,
adopted sustainable organic or natural farming
techniques. This is leading to serious erosion of
crop biodiversity and degradation of soils. It is also
leading to the loss of the Traditional Ecological
Knowledge of the tribal communities in sustainable
agriculture. Considering the alarming situation,
SSIAST has undertaken the project “Making Tribal
Farmers Atmanirbhar” with the Ministry of Tribal
Affairs, as it aims at creating self-reliance among
tribal farmers.
10.22 In 10 villages inhabited by tribes such as
Bhil, Pardhi, Laman, Vadar, Kaikadi, Pardhan,
Andh, Vaidu and others were selected. 2 Project Co-
ordinators and 10 Mentors were identified on the
98
basis of high population density of tribals and pre-
work/field visit reports of the project team on the
ground. The mentors were selected on the basis of
their leadership skills, positive attitude, availability
and prior experience of working with tribals. Along
with theoretical and practical inputs on Indigenous
seeds, Indigenous cows, the participants learned
the skills of gau-aadharit farming techniques. An
online portal was also launched to enable mentors,
co-ordinators and project managers to track and
maintain records related to field visits, trainings
and feedback surveys. All mentors and project
co-ordinators were trained on the importance of a
good project governance mechanism.
10.23 The initiative is based on people’s
participation in developing them as trainers

and mentors who would impart training to the
entire community across genders. Awareness
programs have been conducted on all aspects of
livelihood, holistic understanding of the principles
of circular bio-economy to recycle inputs. Under
this initiative, farmers will also be registered for
PGS-India Organic Certification and train them to
use other marketing portals like e-Nam, SFurthi
etc. Till date 3489 tribal farmers trained this far in
natural farming. The other achievements are
i. 1 lakh tree plantation done with farmers
ii. Farmers also trained in planting medicinal
plants in collaboration with Ayurvet

Mahila Kissan Manch germinated the idea of
creating Rakhis with indigenous seeds. In an event
organized on 10th August 2021, Adivasi Kissan
Mahila Manch ladies displayed the wide array of
“Seed Rakhis” and the process of making them.
The Rakhis are made of indigenous seeds stuck
on naturally dyed, soft indigenous, non-toxic,
biodegradable cotton. Once used, the seeds can be
sown in soil, thereby benefiting the environment.
It is expected that thousands of trees would be
planted under this project and project will provide
employment to tribal women associated with the
project. Tribal women have also been trained in
skills like beej rakhi (seed rakhi) making that can
generate additional employment during festivals.

10.35 Changthang, a cold desert area in the high
altitude plateau contiguous to Tibet (above 4500m),
comprises of 14 revenue villages spread across
three administrative blocks of Durbuk, Nyoma
and Rupshow in Leh district. It covers a vast
geographical area of 4,000 square kilometres. As
per 2011 census, there are 2,063 households with
a total population of 10,800 living in Changthang
area. The block headquarter, Nyoma is located
at a distance of 180km from Leh town. Nyoma
village has 202 households and total population
of 918 comprised of 100% ST population. Mudh
village in Nyoma block of Changthang is located
at a distance of 203 km from Leh town. There are
68 households with a total population of 330. The
village is located at Leh-Tsaga road and has 100%
ST population.
10.36 The local population, mostly nomadic and
semi-nomadic herders live essentially from sheep
and goats breeding. The potential of this practice
leads to the availability of sheep wool, yak wool
and pashmina wool and the village artisans possess
basic skills in wool processing. During winter, due
to severe cold mortality amongst lambs frequently
reaches up to 50%.

lambing shed has been explored for lambs so that
they could have protection against the inclemency
of the weather and reduce the lamb mortality rates.
10.38 Two lambing shed were constructed at
Mudh and Hanle village of Changthang of the size
23’X26’, which can accommodate 70 to 80 sheep.
The project has been successful in reducing the

CHAPTER 12
MARKETING SUPPORT FOR TRIBAL PRODUCE
Mechanism for Marketing of Minor Forest
Produce (MFP) through Minimum Support
Price (MSP) and Development of Value Chain
for MFP:
12.1 ‘Mechanism for marketing of Minor Forest
Produce (MFP) through Minimum Support Price
(MSP) and development of Value Chain for MFP’,
is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme introduced from
the year 2013-14 as a measure of social safety for
MFP gatherers, who are primarily members of
Scheduled Tribes. The scheme seeks to establish
a system to ensure fair returns for their efforts in
collection, primary processing, storage, packing,
transportation, etc. It also seeks to get them share of
revenue from sale proceeds with cost deducted. It
also aims to address other issues for sustainability.
12.2 The scheme envisages fixation and
declaration of Minimum Support Price for the
selected MFP. Procurement and Marketing
operation at pre-fixed MSP will be undertaken
by the designated State Agencies in the event
of the prevailing market price of the particular
MFP item falling below the stipulated MSP.
Simultaneously, other medium and long
term issues like sustainable collection, value
addition, infrastructure development, knowledge
base expansion of MFP, market intelligence
development will also be addressed.
Minimum Support Price announced by the
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
12.3 In order to enhance the remunerations
to tribals, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs vide
notification No. F.No.19/17/2018-Livelihood
dated 01 May 2020 revised the MSP for 50 earlier
notified MFP items under the Scheme. Also, MFP

Annual Report | 2021-22
item coverage under the Scheme has been extended
to additional 37 items with pan-India focus
vide MoTA’s notification No. F.No.19/17/2018-
Livelihood dated 26/05/2020. Thus, the Scheme
currently covers 87 items. Details are given in
Annexure-12. The Scheme is implemented through
State Level Agency (SLA) selected by TRIFED
in consultation with the State Government. The
Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt. of India provides
a revolving fund to the SLA. Loss, if any, is to be
shared by Centre and State in the ratio of 75:25.
Van Dhan Karyakram
12.4 Under the scheme of MSP for MFP, “Van
Dhan Vikas Karyakram” an initiative targeting
livelihood generation through various skill up
gradation training and adoption of scientific
collection, harvesting and primary processing of
the MFPs was visualized and set into motion by
TRIFED. On 14.04.2018 one Van Dhan Kendra
(VDK) was inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime
Minister in Bijapur, Chhattisgarh on a pilot basis.
Guidelines of the scheme of MSP for MFP were
revised in February, 2019 to give a fillip to Van
Dhan Karyakram.
Under the programme, a village level primary
SHG unit known as Van Dhan Self-Help Group
(VDSHG) which consists of up to 20 forest
dwellers is set up, which undertakes the gathering,
processing and value addition of Minor Forest
Produces. 15 such VDSHGs are subsumed into one
Van Dhan Vikas Kendra (VDVK), which combines
300 members to reap the advantages of economies
of scale in training, aggregation of raw material,
branding, packaging and marketing operations.
It is an initiative targeting livelihood generation for
Ministry of Tribal Affairs

tribals by harnessing the wealth of the forest i.e.,
Van Dhan. The program aims to tap the traditional
knowledge & skills of tribals and to strengthen
the tribal’s wisdom into a more viable economic
activity, through creation and operationalization
of tribal communitybased enterprises, Van Dhan
Vikas Kendras. The VDVKs would be given
necessary training inputs, tools and other support
for value-addition of different forest produces
available in and around the tribal habitat and
improved marketing. Since the launch of Van Dhan
Yojana from the year 2019, TRIFED has sanctioned
52,976 Van Dhan Self Help Groups (VDSHGs) to
be subsumed into 3,110 Van Dhan Vikas Kendra
Clusters (VDVKCs) in 27 States/UTs, associating
9.27 lakhs beneficiaries. These VDSHGs/VDVKs
are at different stages of implementation.
While the State Government has to make available,
free of cost, land/building for setting of the Kendra,
the Central Govt. will provide for expenditure
towards training, advocacy, raw material, tool
kits etc. The training programmes have been
modified under Van Dhan Karyakram to integrate
training, value addition, packaging, branding
& marketing activities to establish sustainable
tribal entrepreneurship, through a cluster based
approach. This will provide regular livelihood and
income generation opportunities to tribal families.
Details of State wise Van Dhan Self Help Groups
(VDSHGs) & VDVK Clusters (VDVKCs) are
given in the Table 12.1.

CHAPTER 13
NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR SCHEDULED TRIBES
ABOUT THE COMMISSION
13.1 Office of the Commissioner for Scheduled
Castes (SCs) & Scheduled Tribes (STs) was created
in 1950 for effective implementation of various
safeguards provided in the Constitution for the SCs
& STs and various other protective legislations. In
addition to it, a multi-member Commission for
SCs and STs was set up in 1978. In 1992, these
two organizations were replaced by a statutory
multi-member National Commission for SCs and
STs. Since the needs, problems and the solutions
required for STs were quite different from those of
SCs, a special approach for tribal development and
an independent machinery to safeguard the rights
of STs was considered necessary. Accordingly,
a separate National Commission for Scheduled
Tribes (NCST) was set up with effect from 19th
February, 2004 by amending Article 338 and
inserting a new Article 338A in the Constitution,
through Constitution (Eighty-ninth Amendment)
Act, 2003.
13.2 The NCST consists of Chairperson, Vice
Chairperson and three Members. The Chairperson
and the Vice-Chairperson of the Commission have
been conferred the rank of Union Cabinet Minister

Secretary to the Government of India.
TERM OF OFFICE
13.3 The Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and
Members hold office for a term of three (3) years
from the date on which he / she assumes such
office. The Chairperson, the Vice-Chairperson and
Members shall not be eligible for appointment for
more than two terms.
120
FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES
13.4 The main duties of the Commission are
to investigate and monitor all matters relating
to safeguards provided for STs and to evaluate
working of such safeguards; and to inquire into
specific complaints with respect to deprivation of

CHAPTER 14
PROGRAMMES FOR PROMOTION OF VOLUNTARY
ACTIONS
14.1 The role of Voluntary or Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGOs) with their local roots and
reach has become increasingly important as they
supplement the efforts of the Government in
ensuring that the benefits reach large numbers
of the intended population. Many voluntary
organizations (VOs) have done a commendable job
in the upliftment of tribals and the Ministry supports
efforts of these organizations who are working
in areas of Education, Health and Livelihood in
remotest regions of the country through scheme
of “Grant in Aid to NGOs”. The grants are being
released through Public Financial Management
System (PFMS) to only those NGOs which are
registered on NITI Aayog’s NGO Darpan portal.
Grants to a VO / NGO for a particular category of
project are limited to the financial norms prescribed
for that category of project by the Government and
revised from time to time. Grants are sanctioned
as per the procedure laid down under Rule(s) 230
to 234 of General Financial Rules (GFR), 2017
as amended from time to time, and are released
according to terms and conditions as per the extant
guidelines.
14.2 In order to ensure that the projects
implemented by NGOs are selected in a transparent
manner with greater involvement of the State
Governments / UT Administrations, the Ministry
has evolved a decentralized procedure for receipt,
identification, scrutiny and sanction of proposals
of NGOs. Under this procedure, all the States/UTs
have constituted a “State Committee for Supporting
Voluntary Efforts” chaired by the Principal
123
Annual Report | 2021-22
Secretary / Secretary. The committee examines
new as well as ongoing proposals submitted by the
NGOs and make necessary recommendations.
End to end digitization of NGO Grants mechanism
through NGO grant tracking and monitoring
System (NGO Portal)
14.3 Till 2018, the scheme was being implemented
in manual mode. The NGOs were required to
submit the proposal offline and the proposals
were sent to States for physical verification and
there was time lag of few years before grant for
a particular financial year was released. Due to
delayed release of funds, the NGOs were required
to frequently visit the State and Central Ministry
office to enquire about their pending grants and
there was no established grievance redressal
mechanism. There was no robust mechanism to
monitor working of the NGOs.
14.4 After NITI Aayog’s mandate to make
the operation of scheme online, Ministry has
developed a dedicated NGO portal which provides
customised end-to-end solution for implementing
the NGO scheme. The portal has facility of

CHAPTER 15
HUMAN RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL
SAFEGUARDS FOR STs
Introduction
15.1 Human Rights are defined under Protection
of Human Rights Act, 1993 under its Section
2(d) as the rights relating to life, liberty, equality
and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the
Constitution or embodied in the International
Covenants and enforceable by courts in India.
The Constitution of India has made provisions for
Scheduled Tribes.
15.2 Constitutional Provisions for the
Scheduled Tribes
A. Definition and Scheduling of
Communities as ST
i. Article 366 (25) defines the STs as those
deemed to be STs under Article 342.
ii. Article 342 provides that (1) The President

of the State specify the tribes or tribal
communities or parts of or groups within
tribes or tribal communities to be Scheduled
Tribes and (2) Parliament may include in or
exclude from the list of Scheduled Tribes
specified in a notification issued under
clause (1).
The Government of India has issued modalities on
the manner in which the inclusion and exclusion of
the communities into the list of STs can be taken
up. These Modalities specify that the proposal, as
initiated by a State Government, shall be placed
before the Registrar General of India (RGI) and
the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes
(NCST), both of whose concurrence in the
proposal is required before the matter is considered
126
by the Government of India for placement before
the Parliament for appropriate enactment of
an Amendment to the concerned Presidential
Notification.
B. Provisions pertaining to Scheduled
Areas
iii. Article 244 (1) stipulates that the provisions

injustice and all forms of exploitation.
xi. Proviso to Article 275 (1) provides for
grants-in-aid from the Consolidated Fund
of India to the States to meet the costs of
such schemes of development as may be

the Government of India for the promotion
of the welfare of the STs in that State or
raising the level of administration of the
Scheduled Areas therein.
xii. Article 335 provides that the claims of
the members of the Scheduled Castes
and the Scheduled Tribes shall be taken

for reservation of seats in the House of
the People (Lok Sabha), the Legislative
Assemblies of the States/UTs and the Local
Bodies (Panchayat Raj Institutions and
Municipalities) respectively to the STs in

State is forbidden from making any law that
may conflict with the Fundamental Rights.
This right is equally available to the ST
population of India.
F. Statutory Provisions to safeguard the
interests of the STs
The Government of India has recognized that the
constitutional safeguards need to be translated into
legal and other interventions to ensure that the STs
are able to develop alongside the other sections of
the society while maintaining their unique socio-
cultural heritage. The main statutory provisions in
this regard are the following:
i. The Protection of Civil Rights Act,
1955 was enacted in order to prescribe
punishment for the preaching and practice
of “Untouchability” for the enforcement
of penal provisions against any disability
arising there from and for matters connected
therewith.
ii. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989
is a crucial act that safeguards against
discrimination against SC/ST. The Act
has come into force in order to prevent the
commission of offences of atrocities against
the members of the Scheduled Castes and
the Scheduled Tribes.
iii. The Panchayats (Extension to the
Scheduled Areas) (PESA in short) Act,
1996 was enacted in order to provide for
the extension of the provisions of Part IX of
the Constitution relating to the Panchayats
to the Scheduled Areas.
iv. The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional
Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest
Rights) Act {popularly known as the Forest
Rights Act (FRA)}, 2006 has the primary
objective to recognize and vest the forest
rights and occupation in forest land in
128
forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other
traditional forest dwellers residing in such
forests for generations but whose rights
could not be recorded.
v. The other legislations that concerns the
interest and rights of the Scheduled Tribes
are the Indian Forest Act 1927, Minimum
Wages Act 1948, Wildlife Protection Act
1972, Bonded Labour System (Abolition)
Act, 1976, The Child Labour (Prohibition
and Regulation) Act 1986, Indian Forest
Policy 1988, Indian Biodiversity Act
2002, The Right to Fair Compensation
and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013,
Compensatory Afforestation Fund Rules
2018, National Mineral Policy 2019 and
all Central and State Acts and Regulations
concerning alienation and restoration or
diversion of land belonging to Scheduled
Tribes.
15.3 Agency for Monitoring Safeguards: The
National Commission for Scheduled Tribes
(NCST)
The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes
(NCST) was set up with effect from 19th February,
2004 by amending Article 338 and inserting a
new Article 338A in the Constitution, through

CHAPTER 16
FOCUS ON THE NORTH EASTERN STATES
Initiatives taken by the Ministry for the North
Eastern States
16.1 In terms of the guidelines issued by erstwhile
Planning Commission, all Central Ministries/
Departments are required to earmark at least 10
per cent of their budget allocation for specific
programmes for the development of the North
Eastern Region and Sikkim. Pursuant to these
guidelines, the Ministry has been allocating funds
for development of the North Eastern States
including Sikkim. Funds provided are usually in
excess of 10 per cent of the total budget allocation.
16.2 The Ministry releases grants to the State
Governments under various Central Sector and
Centrally Sponsored Schemes. It also releases
grants under the Scheme of Grant-in-Aid to Non-
Governmental organizations working in various
States / UTs directly under the Schemes of ‘Grant-
in-Aid to Voluntary’. Proposals received from
concerned States for the schemes/programmes viz.
130
Grants under Article 275 (1) of the Constitution
of India, Special Central Assistance to the Tribal
Sub-Scheme and Particularly Vulnerable Tribal
Groups (PVTGs) are released after appraisal and
approval by Project Appraisal Committee headed
by Secretary, Tribal Affairs. The Ministry has been
giving adequate attention to release the grants to
the North Eastern States under such Central Sector
and Centrally Sponsored schemes and has ensured
flow of at least 10 per cent of the budget allocation
under these schemes to the North Eastern States.

CHAPTER 17
GENDER BUDGETING
Constitutional and Legal Framework
17.1 The Constitution not only grants equality
to women, but also empowers the State to adopt
measures of positive discrimination in favour of
women. Within the framework of a democratic
polity, our laws, development policies, plans and
programmes have aimed at women’s advancement
in different spheres. The National Commission
for Women was set up by an Act of Parliament in
1990 to safeguard the rights and legal entitlements
of women. The 73rd and 74th Amendments
(1993) to the Constitution of India have provided
for reservation of seats in the local bodies of
Panchayats and Municipalities for women, laying a
strong foundation for their participation in decision
making at the local levels.
Ministry’s Initiatives
17.2 Active participation of women in the entire
development process is essential for the overall
socio-economic development of any country.
Therefore, raising the status of women in general
and that of socially and economically backward
women in particular is not just a moral imperative
but also a strategic one. Ministry of Tribal Affairs
therefore, while trying to ensure that women
benefit equally from general schemes also has
some special schemes meant for the benefit of ST
women and girls.
17.3 A Gender Budgeting Cell has been
reconstituted in August 2017 in the Ministry to
oversee the implementation of various Gender
Responsive Budgeting initiatives vis-à-vis
Ministry’s policies, programmes in a way that could
tackle gender imbalances, promote gender equality
and development and ensure that public resources
131
Annual Report | 2021-22
through the Ministry’s budget are allocated and
managed accordingly.
17.4 Grants-in-Aid provided to States under
Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme
(SCA to TSS) is additive to State Plan funds and
efforts for Tribal Development. This is gender
neutral programme and benefits are for both male
and female beneficiaries. Objectives of the scheme
“SCA to TSS” are:
• Human resource development by enhancing
their access to education and health services.
• Enhanced quality of life by providing
basic amenities in tribal areas / localities
including housing (mostly to be covered
under PMAY/ State Schemes).
• Substantial reduction in poverty and
unemployment, creation of productive
assets and income generating opportunities.
• Enhanced capacity to avail opportunities,
gain rights and entitlements and improved
facilities at par with other areas, and
• Protection against exploitation and
oppression
The Ministry has issued revised guidelines during
2019-20 for the scheme of SCA to TSS wherein it is
stated that proposals targeting women beneficiaries
will be accorded priority. State/UT Governments
shall ensure that overall at least 33% beneficiaries
are women.
17.5 Scheme “Grants-in-aid under Article
275(1) of the Constitution of India” is meant for
the development of the Schedule Tribes and for
Ministry of Tribal Affairs
creation of infrastructure in tribal areas. Funds
are released to State Governments for taking up
specific projects for creation and up-gradation of
critical infrastructure required to bring the tribal
areas at par with the rest of the country. The
guidelines specifically envisage that the concerns/
issues affecting women should occupy central
position in preparation of the projects/ schemes,
including the involvement of women, right from
planning to the implementation stage. During the
Project Appraisal Committee meeting also, States
have been directed to ensure that at least one-third
of the total beneficiaries should be women / girls.
17.6 Under the scheme “Eklavya Model
Residential School”, a total number of 85,700
students have been enrolled during the year 2021-
22. Out of which, number of girls enrolled are
44,455 (51.87%).
17.7 The Pre-Matric Scholarship for needy
Scheduled Tribe students studying in classes
IX& X has been launched w.e.f. 01.07.2012.
The Scheme is being implemented through the
State Governments and UT Administrations
which receive 100% Central Assistance from
the Ministry over and above the committed
liability of the respective State Governments/UT
Administrations. Scholarships are paid @ Rs.225/-
per month for day scholars and @ Rs.525/- per
month for hostellers, for a period of 10 months in a
year. Books and ad-hoc grant are paid @ Rs.750/-

hostellers. This scholarship is provided to eligible
ST girls and boys whose parents’ / guardians’
have an annual income of Rs.2.50 lakhs from all
sources. During the year 2019-20 & 2020-21 the
percentage of female beneficiaries was 51% under
the scheme.
17.8 The Post-Matric Scholarship for ST girls
and boys is being implemented through the State
Governments and UT Administrations for studying
the recognized post matriculation / post-secondary
courses pursued in recognized institutions. The
Post Matric Scholarship for ST students has been
132
revised from 01.07.2010 with changes in (i) annual
income ceiling; (ii) revision of grouping of courses;
and (iii) rate of maintenance and other allowances.
During the year 2019-20 & 2020-21 the percentage
of female beneficiaries was 51% under the scheme.
17.9 Under the scheme “National Fellowship
and Scholarship for Higher Education of ST
Students”, ST students are encouraged to acquire
higher education in the form of Fellowships to

750 slots, inter alia, 30% of slots are earmarked
for female candidates. Fellowship amount @
Rs.25000/- p.m. for M.Phil. candidates and @
Rs.28000/- p.m. for Ph.D candidates, and other
admissible allowances are provided to selected
candidates.
17.10 National Overseas Scholarships (NOS)
provide financial assistance to selected students to
pursue Post Graduation, Ph.D and Post-Doctoral
study abroad. Amongst a total of 20 awards given
every year, 6 awards (30%) are earmarked for
girls. However, in case the earmarked slots remain
unfilled, these slots will be transferred to boys.
Parental / family income from all sources should
not exceed Rs.6.00 lakhs per annum. Selected
candidates who join the universities abroad are
provided annual maintenance allowance, annual
contingency allowance and other allowances
through Indian Missions abroad.
17.11 Under the scheme of Grant in Aid to
NGOs “Setting up Educational Complex in Low
Literacy Pockets for Development of Women’s
Literacy in Tribal Areas” introduced in 1993-
94, was revised in 2008-09 and renamed as
“Strengthening Education among ST Girls in Low
Literacy Districts”. The revised scheme is being
implemented in 54 identified low literacy Districts
where the ST population is 25% or more and ST
female literacy rate is below 35%, or its fraction,
as per 2001 Census. Any other tribal block in a
district, other than aforesaid 54 identified districts,

which has scheduled tribe population of 25% or
above, and tribal female literacy rate below 35%
or its fraction, as per 2001 Census, is also covered.
The scheme aims to bridge the gap in literacy levels
between the general female population and tribal
women. The scheme lays emphasis on providing
hostel facilities to enable them to attend regular
schools.
17.12 National Scheduled Tribes Finance and
Development Corporation (NSTFDC) implements
scheme for economic development of Scheduled
Tribe women titled “Adivasi Mahila Sashaktikaran
Yojana” (AMSY). Under the scheme, the
Corporation provides financial assistance upto
90% of the schemes having unit cost upto `2
lakh. This financial assistance is extended at
highly concessional interest @4% p.a. Under
AMSY, during the year NSTFDC sanctioned
financial assistance of `12.08 crore for economic
development of 1238 women beneficiaries as on
31.12.2021. The Corporation also extends its
financial assistance for women beneficiaries under
other income generating schemes.
17.13 Under the Scheme ‘Support to Tribal
Research Institutes’, assistance is given for
organising exchange visits by tribals to different
parts of the country. The visiting group should
have adequate representation of women.
17.14 Under the Scheduled Tribes and Other
Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest
Rights) Act, 2006, the Gram Sabha is defined
{Section 2(g)} as “village assembly which shall
consist of all adult members of a village and in
case of States having no Panchayats, padas, Tolas
and other traditional village institutions and elected
village committees, with full and unrestricted
participation of women”. Further Section 4 (4)
provides that “right conferred by sub section (1)
133
Annual Report | 2021-22

and shall be registered jointly in the name of both the
spouses in case of married persons and in the name
of single head in the case of a household headed by
a single person and in the absence of a direct heir,
the heritable right shall pass on to the next-of kin”.
As per Section 6 (8) “The Sub Divisional Level
Committee, the District Level Committee and the

CHAPTER 20
DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNTING
Organisation
20.1 Secretary, Ministry of Tribal Affairs is the
Chief Accounting Authority. He discharges the
responsibility with the help of the Financial Adviser
and Chief Controller of Accounts of the Ministry.
The Principal Chief Controller of Accounts is the
head of the Accounting Organization of the Ministry.
The Pay and Accounts Office (PAO) performs the
function of pre-checking various types of bills
including Grant-in-Aid, besides, compilation of
accounts, monitoring of expenditure with respect
to allocated budget, various MIS reports, etc.
The Principal Accounts Office is responsible for
computerized monthly accounts, Appropriation
Accounts, Statement of Central Transactions,
Union Finance Accounts, other related functions
such as Grants-in-Aid to State Governments / UTs,
procuring / supply of Cheque Books to the PAOs,
preparation of Receipt Budget, liaison with office
of the Controller General of Accounts, etc. State
Bank of India, Shastri Bhawan is the accredited
bank for the Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
Release and Monitoring of Expenditure
20.2 Release of payment and monitoring of
expenditure of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs is
performed by the Pay and Accounts Office who
also submits monthly accounts through Principal
Accounts Office to the Controller General of
Accounts, INA, New Delhi.
Computerization of Accounts and Payment
Function
20.3 Earlier, Pay & Accounts Office used all
the modules of ‘COMPACT’, viz. Pre-Check,
Compilation, GPF and Pension. With the
138
introduction of Public Financial Management
System (PFMS) for Non-Plan payments with effect
from 1st October 2015, most of the modules of
‘COMPACT’ used earlier have been discontinued.
The system of e-payment through ‘Government
e-Payment Gateway (GePG)’ has also been
changed and all payments are being uploaded on
the site of PFMS. Bills passed through COMPACT
are being uploaded on PFMS by creating Web
files. Accredited Banks download the e-advices
and make payments by way of RTGS, NEFT, etc.
directly to the Bank Account of the payee.
E-Lekha
20.4 There is no provision of uploading
COMPACT data in e-lekha on daily basis. Now,
PFMS automatically updates the data and put the
figures in e-lekha enabling the Ministry and other
stakeholders to monitor various MIS reports and
bring transparency in the work of PAO.
Public Financial Management System (PFMS)
20.5 Public Financial Management System
(PFMS) earlier known as the Central Plan Scheme
Monitoring System (CPSMS) has been launched
with a view to have reliable data on flow of funds
from Government of India to States and other
implementing entities or amounts flowing from
them to districts and sub-districts and expenditure
points. Accordingly, mapping up of all the Plan
Schemes of this Ministry has been done by this
organization through PFMS. All the concerned
officials of the department have been imparted
training in this regard. Through this software the
status of release of Grants-in-Aid to different
Organizations / Bodies can be seen. It has been
found to be immensely useful by the Department

also. New utility in this system has been provided
to view the unutilized funds / grants in Bank
Accounts of the implementing agency under
various schemes.
20.6 Consequent upon decision of Govt. of India
on Direct Benefit Transfer of funds to beneficiaries’
bank accounts under various schemes, additional
modality has been provided in PFMS for this
purpose.
20.7 Another, new modality has been provided for
uploading the scanned sanction orders of releases to
States and online generation of Inter-Government
Accounting Advices (IGAA) and same are sent to
RBI online which ensures prompt credit to State
Governments.
New Pension Scheme (NPS)
20.8 New Pension Scheme has been introduced
in respect of all employees appointed on or after
1.1.2004. Under this scheme, 10% of the Pay
(including Grade Pay + D.A.) of such employees
are to be recovered from their salary and along with
14% government contributions is to be deposited to
National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL),
Central Record keeping Agency (CRA) through
their trustee bank. This scheme is in operation in
this Ministry.
Utilization Certificates

the Office of the Pr. Chief Controller of Accounts for
effective monitoring and evaluation of the status of
Utilization Certificates and for capturing complete
