Ever
since the beginning of the planning process, efforts have been made to ensure
that the tribal people are included in the growth process. However, there is
still a considerable gap in human development indices between Scheduled Tribes
(STs) and other social groups. As per Census 2011, National Family Health
Survey-3 (2005-06) and other surveys, the status regarding Scheduled Tribes
population is as follows:-

The Ministry of Tribal Affairs administers two special
area programmes namely Special Central Assistance (SCA) to Tribal Sub Plan
(TSP) and Grants under Article 275 (1) of the Constitution wherein funds are
provided to 23 States and 27 States, respectively. Under these programmes this
Ministry supplements the State Tribal Sub Plan as an additive for undertaking
various tribal development initiatives and for raising the level of
administration in Scheduled Areas with an aim to boost the economic and social
status of tribal people. The grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution
also cover setting up of Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRSs). Besides,
this Ministry has launched a new Central Sector Scheme ‘Van Bandhu Kalyan
Yojana (VKY)’ during 2014-15. The VKY has been adopted as a strategic
process to ensure effective utilization of available financial resources under
Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP). This process envisages to ensure delivery of goods and
services to the tribal population across the country while striking at the
critical gaps in the sectors of Housing, Livelihood, Health & Sanitation,
Drinking Water, Agriculture & Irrigation, Electricity, Education, Skill
development, Sports & Games and Preservation of Cultural Heritage, etc. in
a targeted manner through appropriate institutional mechanism.
