Special Component Plan (SCP)Five Year Plan is a development plan for a Nation &

State for five years.Since independence Fifth Five Year Plan & Three

Annual Plan did not mainstream SC/ST.The Then Prime Minister Ms. Indira Gandhi launched

new policies named Special Component Plan (SCP) & Tribal Special Plan (TSP) in 1979-80.

Orissa introduced these policies TSP/ SCP from the beginning of the fifth five year plan (1975-80) & Sixth five year plan (1980-85) respectively.

Basic idea was to give focused attention to social, economic and education need of SC/ST people.

The targeted flow of resources through SCP is intended to provide additional benefit to the SC population, over and above what they would get through the normal Plan.

to bridge the gap between the general population and SCs in terms of different indicators of development.

Objectives of SCP/TSP:Substantial reduction in poverty and un-

employment.Creation of productive assets in favor of

Scheduled Castes to sustain the growth likely to accrue through development efforts.

Human resource development of the Scheduled Castes by providing adequate educational and health services, and

Provision of physical and financial security against all types of exploitation and oppression.

Process of Implementation

To fulfill the above objectives the following points needs to be taken into account for formulating SCP/TSP.

1. Earmarking of funds for TSP/SCP should be at least in proportion to SC/ST population.

2. SCSP/TSP funds should be non-divertible and non-lapsable. 3. A dedicated unit may be constituted in every Central Ministry/ Department for

the welfare and development of SCs/ STs as nodal unit for formulation and implementation of TSP/SCP.

4. Nodal Department should be able to reallocate SCP?TSP funds to sectoral departments to implement directly relevant to SCs and STs.

5. The TSP/SCP funds should be allocate & utilized through coding system i.e. (TSP- 796) and Special Component Plan (789). The utilization SCP must be audited based on this coding system.

Component of SCP Only those schemes should be included under SCP/TSP

that ensure direct benefits to individuals, families and hamlets of SC/ ST people.

Priority should be given for providing basic minimum services like primary education, health, drinking water, nutrition, rural housing, rural electrification and rural link road.

Wage component, especially under rural employment schemes, should not be included under SCP/TSP.

5. Schemes to develop agriculture and allied activities like animal husbandry, dairy development, vocational training, etc. that provide a source of livelihood to the SC and ST population should be included.

6. Innovative projects that draw upon institutional finance to supplement plan allocations may be drawn up.

Monitoring & Creation of general awareness of SCP/TSP schemes

State and District/Block level Monitoring Committees by the Ministry of Rural Development by involving elected members (MPs, MLAs and Panchayat members, and other prominent leaders in the districts/blocks).

Review of implementation on monthly basis by District/ Block level MC and Quarterly review by SMC.

Awareness by State Government through electronic and print media.

Nodal departments should ensure timely release of SCP/ TSP funds to other sectoral department and involve in the process of finalisation of annual plans of the state.

Evaluation to assess the impact of economic development of schemes implemented under SCP/TSP, on the socio-economic conditions of SCs & STs by the nodal department on regular basis.

Dissemination of information about allocation/ schemes to utilize the SCP & TSP funds & its auditing should be done by the nodal department. The nodal department may also ensure the follow up of the schemes implemented and maintenance of proper records on assets created under SCP in District/Block etc.

Way forwardThough the fund under SCP/TSP is allocated in proportion to the

SC/ST population yet the utilization of SCP & TSP is not in accordance with the principles of SCP and TSP.

Hence honorable Government of Orissa should direct the nodal department to use properly the SCP & TSP funds through innovative schemes & programmes that will directly benefit the individuals, families and hamlets of SC/ST people and thereby address the basic needs of housing, education, health, employments and livelihood.

Government should establish the state, district and block level monitoring committees to monitor the allocation & implementation of SCP/TSP and submit authentic evaluation or assessment reports on monthly basis at district, block level and quarterly basis at the state level.

The State, District and Block Monitoring Committee should consist of elected members as mentioned earlier along with the representatives of civil society organizations, NGOs, Dalit activists.
