Implementation
- A key feature of the mission is its inter-ministerial convergence, where 17 Ministries will unite for the welfare of tribal communities through 25 vital interventions under six broad categories – household and community infrastructure, connectivity, health, education, electrification and economic empowerment.
- The Ministry of Tribal Affairs will serve as the nodal agency, coordinating with Central Ministries for planning, implementation, and monitoring.
- However, each Ministry will retain responsibility for implementing its specific schemes.
- Similarly, at the state level, the Tribal Welfare Department will act as the nodal body, ensuring effective coordination across departments for the streamlined execution of tribal welfare programs.
