MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS (DR. TUSHAR A. CHAUDHARY)
Formulation of any Five Year Plan, including the Eleventh Plan and seeking plan allocations for the various
schemes is a regular exercise undertaken by all the Administrative Ministries, before the commencement of
the next Five Year Plan. The exercise involves review of ongoing programmes/schemes in order to streamline
them by their modification, deletion and addition, on the basis of feedback received from all the stakeholders.
The size of the plan is accordingly proposed to the Planning Commission. The Commission decides on the plan
allocations for various Ministries, including Ministry of Tribal Affairs, keeping in view the total resources
available and the inter-sectoral plan priorities.
