(d) to (f). The Ministry is implementing a scheme namely “Development of Particularly Vulnerable Tribes Groups (PVTG)” for the welfare of PVTGs. PVTGs are the most vulnerable tribal community and hence, it becomes necessary to allocate adequate funds from Central Sector/ Centrally Sponsored and State Plan schemes for the socio-economic development of PVTGs. The Development of PVTGs scheme covers 75 identified Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups in 18 States and UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The scheme is flexible as it enables the States to focus on areas that they consider is relevant to PVTGs and their socio-cultural environment. Activities under it include housing, land distribution, land development, agricultural development, animal husbandry, construction of link roads, 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 funds are sanctioned to the State Government/UT Administration on submitting their Annual Plan before the Project Appraisal Committee (PAC) in the Ministry for appraisal and approval.
Fund allocation and the expenditure incurred during the last three years and the current financial year under the Scheme is given below:
