(FOR OFFICE USE ONLY) DRAFT ANNUAL TRIBAL SUB-PLAN 2017-18 TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HIMACHAL PRADESH GOVERNMENT SHIMLA-171002 NOVEMBER, 2017 i PREFACE The tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh though sparsely populated continue to receive special attention of the State Government primarily on account of their strategic location and comparative backwardness. The Tribal Sub Plan was started in 1974-75 in the State and entire tribal population was brought under the ambit of the Tribal Sub Plan by 1987-88. The flow of funds from State Plan to Tribal Sub Plan has substantially increased over a period of time from 3.65% in 1974-75 to about 9% at the end of the Eighth Five Year Plan and same level for 12th Five Year Plan. The adoption of single consolidated demand in the Annual Budget and introduction of single line administration in the ITDPs have been outstanding achievements of the State in furtherance to the cause of socio-economic development of tribal community in the State. A fundamental change in the process of formulating the Tribal Sub Plan Strategy as per guidelines of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment now the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt. of India has been introduced at the end of the 8th Five Year Plan. The past practice of planning process from top to bottom exercise has been reversed and decentralised process taking Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP) as a Planning unit has been started. The formulation and implementation of Tribal Sub Plan has been made need based, more practical and result oriented. I hope the departments and their ITDP functionaries will find this document very useful. Any suggestion for improvement will always be welcomed. I place on record my appreciation of the hard work done by Sh. Rakesh Sharma, Additional Commissioner, Sh. Jagdish Thakur, Joint Director, Sh. Himmat Singh Negi R.O., Sh. Kailash Chauhan, R.O., Sh. Rakesh Kumar Sharma, R.O, Sh. Atul Sharma, A.R.O. and Sh. Lalit Narayan Sharma, Statistical Assistant in bringing out this document. Thanks are also due to the Deputy Commissioners, Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti, Resident Commissioner, Pangi, Additional District Magistrate, Spiti & Bharmour and the Project Officers, ITDP Kinnaur/Lahaul/Spiti/Pangi/Bharmour and all the line departments for the timely supply of the information for the preparation of this booklet.

Block. These are situated in the north and north-east of the Pradesh forming a contiguous belt in the far hinterland behind high mountain passes with average altitude being 3281 metre above the mean sea-level. The most distinguishing mark of the tribal areas in the State is that they are very vast in area but extremely small in population with the result that per unit cost of infrastructure activity is very exorbitant. The district of Kinnaur is located between 310-05’-55” and 320-05’-20” north latitude and between 770-45’-00” and 790-00’-50” east longitude. The District Lahaul-Spiti is situated between north latitude 310-41’-39” and 320-59’-57” and east longitude 760-40’-29” and 780-41’-39”. The Pangi Sub-Division of Chamba district falls between north latitude 320- 33’ and 330-19’ and between east longitude 760-15’ and 770-21’ and the Bharmour sub- division of this district is situated approximately between the north latitude 320-11’ and 320-41’ and between the east longitude 760-22’ and 760-53’. Snow glaciers, high altitudes and highly rugged terrain, criss-crossed by fast flowing rivers and their tributaries are the peculiar features of the Tribal Areas. These areas have also been declared as Schedule Area under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution by the President of India as per the Schedule Area (Himachal Pradesh) Order, 1975(CO 102) dated the 21st November, 1975. The five ITDPs are Kinnaur, Lahaul, Spiti, Pangi and Bharmour. Except Kinnaur which is spread over 3 C.D. Blocks, rest of the ITDPs comprise one C.D. Block each. (ii) Pockets of Tribal Concentration.— Tribal development envisaged a two- pronged strategy to cover both the concentrated and dispersed tribals. The areas of tribal concentration with 50% or above tribal population were taken up in the first instance during Fifth Plan 1974-78. For the dispersed tribals, Modified Area Development Approach(MADA) was devised during the Sixth Plan to cover such pockets of tribal concentration which had a population threshold of 10,000 in contiguous areas of whom 50% or more were tribals. A target-group or community approach marked the pockets of 1 tribal concentration in contradiction to area of tribal concentration where area approach ruled the roost. In Himachal Pradesh, two such pockets Chamba and Bhatiyat Blocks were identified in Chamba district covering an area of 881.47 Sq.Km. and population of 29455 (7.51%) of Scheduled Tribes as per 2011 census. Coupled with tribal areas, 100% of ST population was covered under Sub-Plan treatment. An outlay of Rs.4.94 lakh was received for the first time for the two pockets in 1981-82. (iii) Dispersed Tribes in Non-Scheduled Areas.— The ultimate objective of sub-plan strategy being 100% coverage of ST population under its treatment, the Union Welfare Ministry now Tribal Affairs Ministry came out with the SCA supplementation for such dispersed tribes in 1986-87 but because of late receipt of guidelines, the actual adoption was deferred to 1987-88 and in this way, 100% ST population in the State came under sub-plan ambit. In view of larger dispersed ST population in the State, Union Tribal Affairs Ministry needs to consider larger allocation under Special Central Assistance than hither to fore for such tribes in commensurate with their population living in the non-tribal areas.
