Abstract

The Ministry of Tribal Affairs extends Special Central Assistance (SCA) to the Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) States and Union Territories. SCA is primarily meant for income generating family oriented schemes and infrastructure incidental thereto. The present research study on the “Evaluative Study on Special Central Assistance (SCA) in the State of Odisha” has been carried out with an objective to assess the socio economic characteristics and to assess the impact of the scheme towards an increase in income and employment generation. Major findings are, a large chunk of the SCA amount is utilized towards providing subsidy for bank linked schemes and/or linked with earmarked grants. Critical gaps are not identified. ITDAs have not been able to play effective role in coordinating with line departments which are engaged in raising the productivity levels of the tribals. The study suggests, schemes under sericulture, agriculture, horticulture will make tribals economically strong. Land Based activities should be the focus. Training programs for ST unemployed women on Nursing, Medical Laboratory, Tailoring, Computer Training, Beauty Parlor and other Vocational Training may be encouraged. Key words: Scheduled Caste Sub Plan, SCSP, Special Central Assistance, SCA, Tribes, Odisha, ITDA, Socio Economic Schemes, Self Enterprise, Subsidy, Loan, Livelihoods
