OperationalGuidelines for
Formulation, Implementationand Monitoring of Tribal Sub-Plan and Article
275(1)grants
1. Introduction
1.1 The basicobjectiveof theTribalSub-Plan(TSP) is toallocategovernment
resources equitably between the overall population and tribal population.
Majority of the tribal population is less vocal, has been traditionally
disadvantaged',livein remoteplaces,and for thesereasonsdo not gettheirdue
share of the resource in terms of the percentageof their populationof the
populationof the Countryor in a State. Even when resourcesare allocated
proportionateto thepopulation,theactualexpenditureis lowbecauseof difficulty
in implementationof programs,lackof vocaldemandfromtribalpeople,leading
to the argumentthatthecapacityof tribalpeopleand areasdominatedby tribal
peopleto absorbgovernmentresourcesis low. As a result,even this money
allocatedon the basisof populationlapses- an euphemismfor transferto non-
tribalpeopleinsubsequentfinancialyear.
1.2 While this failure to make proportionateallocation of government
resourcesfor tribalpopulationI areas is badenough,itbecomesegregiouswhen
the basic parameters- humandevelopmentindices (HOI) and infrastructure-
are comparedbetweentribalandwhole populationI areas. The per-capitacostof infrastructurefor tribal is higher than rest of the populationbecause tribal
populationis dispersed, often in small hamletsandin hilly and inaccessible
areas. Literacy,life span, IMR and MMR, incomelevels,food securityetc. are
worsefortribalsthanthatof restof thepopulation.The problemhas beenfurther
exacerbatedby (a) continuouspresence of extremistgroups who resort to
violenceevento preventbasicsocial programslike health,education,livelihood
etc. (b) large scale displacementthroughgovernment-sponsoredprogramslike
reservoirs, declaration of their habitats as reserve forests and wild life
1
,
sanctuaries,miningetc, thusdepnvlIlgthetnbalsfrombothfoodfromtheforests
and collectionof forestproducewhichcouldhavegiventhemcash income In
view of the above, equitabledistributionof governmentresources for tribal
peoplewouldmeanthatthe amountwhichis actuallyspentfor themshouldbe
morethantheirentitlementas perpopulationpercentage.
1.3 WhiletheCSS planoutlaysfor socialsectorand livelihoodhas increased,
andboththeseare importantfor tribalpeopleandotherslivingin areaswithpre-
dominanttribalpopulation- the access to theseschemesby such peoplehas
beenrestricteddue to variousreasons. In additionto the problemsof physical
access,the absenceof functionariesof linedepartmentsis a severehandicap.
The ITDAs wereto facilitatesuch access. Butoverthe years,severalscheme-
specificbodiesat districtlevelincludingORDAs havebecomestrongerwhereas
ITDAs have becomeweak in most of the States. (One exceptionis Andhra
Pradesh). The ITDAs have to be strengthened. In smaller concentrationof
tribals who are particularlyin need of support, micro projects have to be
strengthenedor set up wheretheydo notexist. BlockswhereST populationis
higherthan 50% must have ITDAs. In most urban areas, there is very little
manpowerfor addressingproblemsof tribalsand this needs creationof new
agenciesor deploymentof functionariesfromtheDepartmentof TribalWelfareto
suitableagencies.
2. Current trend and way forward:
2.1 Substantiveamount of TSP funds are still utilized for infrastructure.
Certaintypesof infrastructurelikeschoolbuildingand hostelsshouldcontinueto
be priorityin tribalareas. However,supportfromschemesof Ministryof Human
ResourceDevelopmentshouldalso betagged.
2.2 In additionto the CentrallySponsoredSchemes funds in many States,
Stateplanfundare availablenowfor roads,drinkingwater,sanitation,livelihood,
),
electricity,solarpowerand so on. Therefore,to theextentpossible,funds from
thesesourcesshouldbe tagged
2.3 The literacygap betweentribalsand non-tribalscontinueto be alarming.
It hasbeennoticedthatthedropoutratesof day-scholarsis muchmorethanthe
drop out rates of boardingschools. The constructionof boardingschools
however,remainsdifferentacrossthecountry.
2.4 Boardingschools also have the advantageof protectingchildrenfrom
beingkidnappedin disturbedareasor beingtraffickedotherwise. In fact larger
boardingschools providebetterprotection. The densityof teachersin larger
schoolsis alsobetterandabsenteeismofteachersis less in largerschools.
2.5 Whenthe ITDA and the TribalWelfareDepartmenthavea strongline of
engineeringset up as in case of Andhra Pradesh, the constructionof school
buildingsis faster. However,theconstructionis muchpoorerand absorptionof
funds is muchlowerwhere the engineeringpersonnelavailablewith the Tribal
Welfare Departmentis low. The reason is that in the absence of its own
engineeringdepartment,moneyis givento otherengineeringDepartmentslike
PWD forwhomour projectsare notpriority.Thereare otherissues in education
like gettingback children who have droppedout of school for no particular
reason.
2.6 While there is no shortageof funds for livelihoodsector like agriculture,
animal husbandry,horticulture,handicrafts,handloom,skill developmentetc.
undervariousCentrallySponsoredSchemes,the access of tribalpopulationto
such schemescontinuesto be poor for reasonsmentionedat para 1.3 above.
Depletion of forests and displacementhas further exacerbated livelihood
problems. In viewof this, the ITDAs haveto playa role in facilitatingdeliveryof
public goods and services, and particularlycarry the schemes relating to
livelihoodto the people. In additionto havingpeople who can facilitatethe
3
personnelin chargeof programsIII Ill1edepaltlllentsto .c1Ccessthetribalpeople/
areas, the personnelof ITDAs etc rnust have bdSIC knowledgeof VdllOllS
schemesandtheirfeasibilityin specificareas.
2.7 AgainstJ:his background,the role of ITDA / micro projectshas become
more importantthan it was decadesago. Besides, the engineeringunits,the
microprojectalso haveto workas linkbetweenthe linedepartmentsfor social
andlivelihoodsectorsandthetribalpopulation.
2.8 The Forest RightsAct has also cast additionalresponsibilityon the field
staffof theTribalWelfareDepartment.The mainresponsibilityis toenableGram
Sabhas to take informeddecisions. These agenciesalso must be pro-active
whenthe rightsof the forestdwellersare affectedadversely. While MGNREGA
supports land developmentand watershedfor increased productivityof land
settledunderFRA, absenceof supportingstafffor implementingtheschemehas
resultedin lowabsorptionof fundsavailablefor supervisionof theseworks. This
requiresadditionaltechnicalstafffor ITDA I microprojecsetc.
2.9 The highMMR and IMR in certainpocketsof the countryshow thatsome
of the pregnantmothersare not coveredunderimmunization,These relateto
womenwho go out to hillsfor agricultureor thosewho live in small hamlets. It
would be necessary that the ITDA etc. take the responsibilityof gettingthe
pregnantmothersto the immunizationcentreor takingtheANM to theseremote
hamlets.
2.10 The above pictureshows that the priorityfor expenditureof TSP and
Article275granthas toshifttocreateadministrativebase inthe remoteandtribal
pockets. In case of dispersedpopulationof tribals,for example,in States like
Maharashtra,Karnatakaand Rajasthan,thereis no agencydedicatedto deliver
the programsmeant for Schedule Tribes. There has been also considerable
displacement of tribals from their traditional hamlets initially because of
4
declarationof theirhabitatas reservedforestsetc, Irrigationprojectsand later
becauseof miningprojectsand violence. Many of these peoplehavebecome
wagelabourersin urbanareas. Manyof themlackdecenthabitat. There is no
institutionfordeliveryof benefitsto suchtribalpopulation.Therefore,newoutfits
havetobesetupforthesepockets.
2.11 2011census also showsthatnew Blockand pocketshaveemergedwith
morethan50% tribalpopulation. New institutionlike ITDA haveto come up in
theseareas.
2.12 To sumup,thereis necessityfor newadministrativeunitsforhelpingtribal
peopleinthefollowingcases :
(a) Urban areas where the pop~lationof Scheduled Tribes exceeds
10,000.
(b) A special set up withsupportfrom MoEF for peoplewho have been
relocatedfromsanctuaries.
(c) Additionalgrantsfor tribalpeoplewhoweredisplacedandderacinated
becauseof hydelprojects,landacquisition,and transferof forestland
to governmentI privatefirms.
3. Nodal Deparbnent
3.1 At theStatelevel,the Departmentin-chargeof TribalWelfareshall be the
nodal departmentfor TSP. The nodal departmentshall be consultedfor all
expenditurerelatingtoTSP component.
4. TribalResearchInstitute(TRI)
4.1.1 The Directorof TRI shouldbe a fulltimeofficer.
5
-
4.1.2 The Ministry is consldenng to Ilklke -I RI, Bhubancswal a National
Institute.
4.1.3 The budgetforresearchfor2014-15hasalso beenenhanced
4.2 In termsof capacitybuilding,thereare areas in whichthe TRI shouldbe
strengthenedin terms of manpower. Training of tribal people relating to
livelihoodis one issue. It is also observedthatTribalWelfareServiceofficials
are notprovidedbasictrainingafterrecruitmentin someplaces_ The TRls have
to bestrengthenedforthispurpose. The thirdaspectof capacitybuildingrelates
to in-servicetrainingon lawsrelatingto tribalsbothfor officialsandelectedtribal
leaders. Such Laws would includeForest Rights Act (FRA), PESA Act and
RegulationsinScheduledAreas.
4.3 Tribal Museums funded from the Ministryof Tribal Affairs should be
attachedto TRls. This is not aboutterritorialturfbetweendepartments.Once
theTribalMuseumgoesoutof theTRI, a knowledgedeficitariseswithintheTRI.
This also createsan impressionthattheTribalMuseumsare onlyof touristvalue
andnotaboutknowledgeof tribals.
4.4 Capacitybuildingprogramsof MoTA, StateGovernmentsandotherCSS I
StatePlan SchemesshouldaccessTRls for capacitybuildingof officials,elected
representatives,teachersetc. and funds receivedtowardsthis should be in a
bankaccountunderthecontrolof TRI.
4.5 Out of thesefunds,the TRlshould havethe freedomto hire consultants
for researchandteaching.
6
5. Inter-StateAllocation
5.1 At present, Inter-stateAllocation is based largelyon the proportionof tribal
population of a State. However, it is to be seen that the per capita cost of
infrastructureis higher where tribal population is dispersed. Secondly, weights
have to be given for sector specific schemes. For example, in case of education,
some weight has to be given for extentof illiteracy. Therefore, inter-se allocation
between the States will be as follows:-
Support to Institutions like ITDA, micro Accordingtothepercentageof
projects etc.
population.
Support for education
50% weight for population and 50%
illiteracy i.e. gap between literacy oftribals in a State and overall literacy inthe countryInfrastructure
50% on the basis of population and
50% for areas.
5.2 It will be more difficultto specify a quantitativenorm for allocation of TSP
fund between different areas of a State. There are also issues like getting
children from disturbed areas and remote areas to residential schools and skill
development centres located in urban areas both for safety and higher quality of
education. However, a suggested norm of computing the adual fund flow for
TSP for differentkind of schemes is tabulated below:-

6. EstablishingStandardsfor ServiceDelivery
6.1 For the TSP to succeed in its avowed objectiveof filling critical gaps in the
development of STs within a defined time frame, it is necessary that minimum
acceptable standards of service delivery in each are established and enforced
across sectors, across geographies. At present the rigor and quality of existing
service delivery varies greatly from State to State and also within States,
between districts/ ITDPs etc. The Nodal department must ensure that all line
departments establish these standards of service delivery and strictly monitor
their enforcement. The Nodal Department,in consultationwith the concerned line
department, must ensure that the minimum standard of service delivery is
maintained at all levels for activities undertaken through TSP. For example, in
case of education at elementary level the minimumstandards as stipulated under
the RTE Act should be the benchmark. For Secondary level and above, the State
specific norms are to be followed. The efforts should be made to improve upon
the existing standards through innovative practi~es.The standards are to be

maintained in infrastructure development, teacher tla1l1ll19,Meals, SUPPOlt to
studentsand support to teachers
6.2 Similarly, for health sector, it must be ensured that the services being
delivered through the TSP are meeting standard requirementand not inferior to
similar services being provided to other categories. It is also emphasized that
the childrenin Ashram Schools and Hostels are providedwith adequatelydiverse
diet rich in essential nutrients with the appropriate frequency to ensure their
optimalphysical growth and cognitive development A periodic health check-up
of these children in conducted as per the guidelines of RBSK, NRHM.
6.3 A robust monitoringsystem to monitorthe standards of service delivery is
therefore, important States I UTs must put in place a system for regular
monitoringof standards of service delivery.
7. Formulation of TSP
7.1 Every line Department having a TSP component will distribute the TSP
allocation between differentareas separately, specify the allocation going to TSP
areas. The nodal departmentwill communicate this to the district II DA etc. The
ITDA will prepare specific plans taking into account their own resources and the
resources available under various departments.
7.2 The nodal department will monitor from time to time the actual flow of
funds to these areas. In areas where no ITDA etc. exists, the District Collector
will monitorsuch flow once in a quarter.
7.3 The State Secretary in-charge of Tribal Welfare Department will monitor
flow of funds at least once a quarter.
