ANSWER
MINISTER OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS
SHRI ARJUN MUNDA
(a) to (d): A Statement is laid down on the Table of the House.
Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (d) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. *364 for answer on 27.03.2023 tabled by Shri Rajendra Dhedya Gavit and Shri Y. Devendrappa regarding ‘Van Dhan Vikas Yojana’
(a) to (d) The Ministry of Tribal Affairs is implementing the Scheme of ‘Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Vikas Mission’ (PMJVM) under which financial assistance is provided for setting up of Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVKs) to support livelihood activities to the tribal population across the country including Maharashtra. VDVKs tap into traditional knowledge and skill sets of tribals by adding technology to upgrade it at each stage of collection, processing, value- addition, packaging, branding and sale of value-added tribal MFP and non-MFP produce / products thereby generating better remuneration for them. A VDVK consists of 15 SHGs where each SHG is having around 20 beneficiaries. Thus, a group of 300 beneficiaries constitute a VDVK.
TRIFED, an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs implements the programme through State Implementing Agencies (SIAs). For this purpose, financial assistance of Rs. 15 lakhs per VDVK is provided to the SIAs based on the proposals received from the State Governments. Since the program is demand-driven, no State-wise allocation is made. The State-wise details of VDVKs sanctioned in the country, including Maharashtra, is given at Annexure.
