TRIBAL WELFARE
Introduction
The Directorate of Tribal Welfare was bifurcated from the Directorate of

Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department with effect from 01.04.2018. The
Government of Tamil Nadu is paying special attention for the development of
tribal people in 23 Districts where Scheduled Tribes concentration is more. The
prime objective of the Government is overall improvement of Education, Health
and Socio Economic status of tribes and also to reduce the gap between tribes
and non tribes. Basic needs like provision of drinking water, link roads to the
tribal villages, construction of houses and other infrastructural requirements
are given special focus.
In Tamilnadu, Tribal Sub Plan has been implemented since 1976-

1977. It is a part of State’s annual plan and constitutes about 1.1% of the
annual plan in proportion with the population of scheduled tribes in the State.
Under Tribal Sub Plan, all departments allocate funds to implement schemes
for tribal welfare, infrastructure improvement of tribal areas, and to create
livelihood opportunity for tribals. Tribal Sub Plan ensures that resources spent
for the benefit of scheduled tribes is atleast in proportion to their population.
Under Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub Plan (SCA TO TSS)

(Now the scheme name has been renamed as Pradhan Mantri Aadi
Adrash Gram Yojana.) 60% of the funds are utilized for income generating
activities and 30 % of funds are utilized for infrastructure facilities and
