Recognizing the relative backwardness of the SC and ST, which are considered as the weaker sections of society
Constitution of India introduced a special responsibility on the State to promote with special care, educational and
economic interests of the weaker sections particularly Scheduled castes and ensure to protect them from social
injustice and all forms of exploitation.
Hence planned development of SC and ST needs the effective implementation of constitutional safeguards and
welfare measures.
Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) (Previously known as Special Component Plan) and Tribal Sub- Plan (TSP) is
being implemented during sixth five year plan 1979-1981 with a view of uplift the economically and socially weaker
population group of Scheduled castes (In Maharashtra including Buddha) and Scheduled Tribe.
Special Component Plan (SCP) for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) for Scheduled Tribes (STs)
have been important strategies used in the planning process for quite some time in order to ensure that outlays and
benefits from the general sectors of the Plans flow to SCs and STs at least in proportion to their population both in
physical and financial terms.
Hon’ble Prime Minister in the 51st NDC Meeting held on 27.6.2005 has emphasized that “SCP and TSP should be
an integral part of Annual Plans as well as Five Year Plans, making provisions therein non-divertible and nonlapsable with the clear objective of bridging the gap in socio-economic conditions of the SCs and STs within a
period of 10 years”.
Objectives and Components of SCSP and TSP

Only those schemes which ensures direct benefits to individuals, families of SC/ST
Area oriented schemes directly benefiting SC/ST hamlets/ villages having majority of SC/ST population
Priority for basic minimum services like primary education, health, drinking water, nutrition, rural housing, rural
electrification and rural link road
Schemes to develop agriculture and allied activities like animal husbandry, dairy development, vocational training,
etc. that provide a source of livelihood to the SC/ST population should be included
Innovative projects that draw upon institutional finance to supplement plan allocations may be drawn up
Main Guidelines for SCSP/TSP


Additional guidelines have also been issued by the Planning Commission to the States/UTs by way of reiteration of
the existing instructions, relating to the formulation and implementation of SCP/TSP at the State/ UT level (vide
reference D.O.No.M-13011/3/2005-SP-Co. dated 31-10-2005 and D.O.No.M-13054/2/2005-BC. dated 28-122005).
The State Government should prepare Special Component Plan (SCP) and Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) as per the
proportion of SC and ST population of the State. The guidelines issued recently by the Planning Commission to the
State Governments for the SCP and TSP formulation, implementation and monitoring need to be strictly adhered
and followed ( D.O No. M- 13011/3/2005-SP-Co dated 31.10.2005)
Planning Commission has set up a dedicated “Special Component Plan (SCP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) Unit , This
Unit has been set up for monitoring the implementation of the recommendations of the Inter-Ministry Task Group
Report on the Development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and to review and monitor the SCP and
TSP of States/UTs and Central Ministries/ Departments.
Only those schemes should be included under SCP/TSP that ensure direct benefits to individuals or families
belonging to SCs & STs.
It is also reiterated that Secretary, Social Welfare/Tribal Welfare should be the nodal Officer in the designing of
schemes/programmes of SCP and TSP and allocation of funds to the implementing Departments/agencies. If it is
not feasible, a dedicated Unit of SCP and TSP may be constituted in the Planning Department of the State with the
Secretary, Social Welfare/Tribal Welfare as nodal Officer for designing, implementing and monitoring of SCP and
TSP schemes/programmes in the State.

According to 2001 census SC 10.2%; As the Buddhist of Maharashtra 6.2% is also coming under SC
but it is not in the 2001 Census, So that SC including Buddhist should have populations 16.4%, Even
though state has shown cumulative populations of SC and Buddhist is 13% but same percentage is
not applied for budget allocations.
As per regularly monitoring of allocations and expenditure of funds of SCSP budget of 2010-11.
Initially allocations showing 3461 cror rupees according to populations of SC and Buddhists but latter
it shows reducing. SCSP found that initially they reduced by 337 cror and finally up-to December 2010
only 103175.68 lacks means only 2% Social justice ministry received budget
In-fact in last three year budget of Social Justice ministry shows increase in allocation of budget but
since last ten year (2001- up-to December 2010) only 78 official and staff increased. Hence due to
around 1004 vacant position not able to implement schemes is one of the reasons.
Also RTI data shows that up to December 2010 state government not utilized a single rupees on
economic development schemes like housing, stall for Gatai Cobbler work, vocational training,
establishing ITI, residential schools, women empowerment schemes, agriculture and allied agricultural
activities.
The schemes like Cottan Co-operatives of SC have allocated and expenditure shown huge but still
gainful employment to SC youth is not seen. Even-though most of these co-operatives are given on
the name of SC and Buddhists individuals name to dominant politician of ruling party and not single
co-operatives given to political leaders belong to SC and Buddhist communities or movement leaders.
Expectations from Government
• Strict instructions to ensure that allocations
to be as per the SCP and TSP guidelines
issued by the planning Commission.
• Consultations with Scheduled caste and
Scheduled Tribes organisations and leaders
during the planning and implementation
levels of the budget cycle should be made
mandatory.
• State governments to constitute SCP and
TSP Monitoring Committees wherein SC &
ST educated youth are invited to be members
of these committees to take active part in
monitoring TSP and SCP planning and
implementation at the State, Department /
Ministry, district and block levels with
necessary powers to intervene wherever
necessary.
•According to Jadhav Task force placing of 43
ministries/departments under no obligation
category which needs to be relooked.

Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment (MSJE) and Ministry
of Tribal Affairs (MTA), with sufficient human resources, has to
play an effective role in coordination and implementation of SCP
& TSP. In particular, MSJE and MTA should ensure: separate
earmarking and scheme- wise allocation by the Ministries in their
respective Annual Plans; preparation of a Link Budget Book on
TSP and SCP; performance analysis and granting of utilization
certificates for further allocations.
Planning Commission, as a monitoring and review authority,
should evolve a separate set of duties and functions to ensure
transparency and accountability by executives responsible for the
planning, formulation, implementing, monitoring and evaluation
of SCP and TSP.
Each Ministry should have sufficient human and financial
resources for effectively implementing SCP and TSP for ensuring
inclusion in the growth sectors and new developments taking
place.
State level budget diversion should permitted and un-spent
amount should be used as a carry forward for SCSP/TSP schemes
only.
Expectations from Civil Society




Civil society should pressurize government for making
SCP & TSP into an Act which defines clear entitlements
for Scheduled caste and Scheduled tribes and has
necessary redressed mechanisms to ensure that all duty
bearers implement TSP and SCP effectively.
Civil society should monitor at micro to macro level
SCSP and TSP , sensitizing Scheduled caste and
Scheduled tribe communities about effective
implementations along with training youth for
undertaking Economic Rights Monitoring, tracking and
implementation.
Need to evolve more innovative direct benefiting
economic development schemes and initiate advocacy
for implementations in the modern era of economic
reform.
Initiate state level campaign for making state
accountable for effective implementation of economic
safeguards in general and SCSP and TSP particularly
through involving like-minded experts, academicians,
mass organizations, influential retired Government
officials and leaders along with political parties
“We must make our political democracy a social democracy as well. Political
democracy cannot last unless there lies at the base of it social democracy.
What does social democracy mean? It means a way of life which
recognizes liberty, equality and fraternity as principles of life-.
We must begin by acknowledging the fact that there is complete
absence of two things in the Indian society, one of these is equality. On
the social plane, we have in India a society based on principles of great
inequality, which means elevation of some and degradation of others. On
the economic plane, we have a society in which there are some, who have
immense wealth as against many, who live in abject poverty.
We must remove this contradiction at the earliest possible moment or
else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of political
democracy, which this Assembly has so elaborately built up.”

implemented by State and Central Governments are
dovetailed by apportioning funds exclusively
for Scheduled Castes for addressing their needs/
problems.

Only the schemes where the benefit can be
measured in respect of SCs are included in the
SCSP.
The schemes where participation of SCs is nil,
such as major and medium irrigation projects,
EGS, General economic services…etc are not
included in the SCSP.
Special care has been taken in implementation of
SCSP so that the benefits of scheme should go
exclusively to individual or groups of SCs and
