Parliamentary panel flags delay in construction of Eklavya schools
Agency: PTI New Delhi, Aug 11 (PTI) A parliamentary committee has pulled up the Ministry of Tribal Affairs over the delay in construction of Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) and sports infrastructure for tribal students. In its 10th report on action taken by the government on the 2024-25 Demands for Grants, tabled in Parliament on Monday, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment noted that only 476 of the 717 sanctioned EMRS were functional, with most new schools still operating from rented premises. While 87 new school buildings have been completed, work is underway on 222 more, and 120 remain at the pre-construction stage, the report said. The panel urged the National Education Society for Tribal Students (NESTS) to adopt a 'more concerted, result-oriented and proactive approach" to ensure all schools both old and new are operational in their own buildings within the set timeframe. The committee also expressed concern over the slow progress in setting up Centres of Excellence for Sports in EMRS. Of the 15 proposed centres, locations for only five have been finalised for the first phase, with an operational target of June 2026. The remaining 10 are slated for completion by December 2026, but their sites are yet to be confirmed. The panel called for early finalisation to meet the revised deadlines. On the flagship Dharti Abba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA) which is a multi-ministry mission to bridge infrastructure and service gaps in over 63,000 villages, the committee said progress has been made but warned that pending approvals in AYUSH and skill development ministries could delay implementation. It emphasised the need for faster coordination so that all targeted interventions, from roads and housing to health and education facilities, are completed within the 2024-�2028 mission period. The report welcomed measures like reducing EMRS land requirements, setting up escrow accounts for project funding, and involving the Sports Authority of India in sports facility planning. However, it warned that without tighter monitoring and inter-ministerial coordination, these flagship programmes risk missing their goals for tribal welfare.

Gajapati admn launches campaign to benefit tribal groups
Berhampur: To reach out to tribals, especially those belonging to the particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG), the Gajapati administration will launch a campaign to organise camps and gram sabhas in their habitations across the district from Thursday. The camps will be held to tell them about the benefits under Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA). These will be held in 345 villages under 86 panchayats of seven blocks, said collector (Gajapati) Bijay Kumar Dash. The campaign will be held till the month-end. Tribals will be told about 25 different programmes under 17 ministries to ensure that they receive benefits under these schemes, he said. The major schemes include Ayushman Bharat health scheme, Pradhan Mantri Kisan, Aadhar enrollment, labour registrations and cooking gas connection under Ujjwala scheme, and electrification. The govt has asked district authorities to launch such awareness campaign in tribal pockets and ensure the govt initiatives reach remote tribal areas. Ashutosh Mohapatra, project administrator, Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Paralakhemundi, said the camps will be attended by officers of the line departments to ensure the redressal of individuals' problems. During this period, gram sabhas will also be held to approve village or community-level grievances and send them to district authorities. Some of these include community forest rights, electrification of the village, establishment of anganwadi centres, construction of roads and supply of drinking water, sources said. He said last year they held camps under the PM-JANMAN in 143 villages in the district. The DA-JGUA, a national-level initiative, was launched by the Union ministry of tribal affairs on Oct 2, 2024. The initiative aims to offer access to health, education, basic infrastructure, and livelihood opportunities for the tribal population, said Mohapatra.
