NEW DELHI: In a huge step to empower the tribal community of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the PM PVTG (Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups) Development Mission on November 15.
The Rs 24,000 crore scheme will ensure holistic development of PVTGs on the occasion of JanJaatiya Gaurav Divas, and is a first of its kind mission since Independence.It aims to improve socio-economic conditions of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups.
The announcement of the new mission was made at Budget 2023-24.
The mission will be implemented through convergence of 11 interventions of 9 ministries. For instance, under PMGSY, PMGAY, Jal Jeevan Mission etc. Some scheme norms will be relaxed to cover these remote habitations.
In addition, separately, saturation will be ensured for PMJAY, Sickle Cell Disease Elimination, TB Elimination, 100% immunisation, PM Surakshit Matritva Yojana, PM Matru Vandana Yojana, PM Poshan, PM Jan Dhan Yojana etc.
There are 75 PVTGs in 18 States & UTs living in 22,544 villages (220 districts) having a population of around 28 lakhs.
These tribes stay in scattered, remote & inaccessible habitations, often in forest areas and hence a mission has been planned to saturate PVTG families. They will be provided basic facilities such as road and telecom connectivity, electricity, safe housing, clean drinking water and sanitation, improved access to education, health and nutrition and sustainable livelihood opportunities.
