REHABILITATION SCHEME FOR TRIBALS
LOK SABHA
The Ministry of Rural
Development has been formulating a National Policy for Rehabilitation
and Resettlement of project affected persons including the displaced
tribals. The problems of unemployment, starvation and of drinking
water are being handled by the concerned States in consultation
with the respective Ministries/Departments in Union Government
dealing with the sectoral programmes. However, this Ministry provides
assistance to States under Special Central Assistance (SCA) to
Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP), Article 275(1) and has a scheme of Village
Grain Banks to address these issues also.
This information
was given by the Union Minister for Tribal Affairs in a written
reply to a question from S/Shri Sunder Lal Tiwari and Satyavrat
Chaturvedi in the Lok Sabha today.
