The Planning Commission had set up a Task Force in June, 2010, which after considering suggestions/requests from various quarters, submitted its recommendation identifying 28 Central Ministries/Departments to earmark funds in varying proportion under Tribal Sub-Plan. The Planning Commission had already issued guidelines for formulation, implementation, and monitoring of Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) for Scheduled Castes and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) for Scheduled Tribes to all State Governments and UT Administrations in 2005. The basic objectives of the Guidelines is to channelize the flow of outlays and benefits from the general sectors in the Plan of States and Central Ministries/Departments for the development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes at least in proportion to their population, both in physical and financial terms. The Guidelines inter alia also include that such funds should be non-divertible and non-lapsable. This Ministry and the Planning Commission are constantly pursuing with the State Governments and the Central Ministries/Departments concerned for implementation of TSP in letter and spirit.
