Information about the scheme:
To increase the income of Scheduled Tribe farmers in the district, improve their standard of living and make them self-sufficient.
Beneficiary Selection:
The eligibility conditions for beneficiaries to avail the benefits of the scheme under the Tribal Upoyojana (In-Area/Out-Area) will remain as follows.
- The beneficiary must be a Scheduled Tribe farmer.
- The farmer must have a caste certificate issued by a competent authority.

- The beneficiary must have an Aadhaar card.
- The beneficiary must have a bank account and the bank account must be linked to the Aadhaar card.
- Beneficiaries below the poverty line will be given first priority.
- The beneficiary farmer must have a minimum of 0.40 hectare and a maximum of 6 hectares of agricultural land. However, since the land of tribal beneficiaries is in remote and fragmented areas, if two or more beneficiaries with land holdings less than 0.40 hectares come together and their combined land is at least 0.40 hectares, they will be eligible for the benefits of the scheme if they sign an agreement. Similarly, the condition of maximum 6.0 hectares of holding area will not apply to beneficiaries below the poverty line.
- The priority order for beneficiary selection will be as follows:
- Beneficiaries below poverty line
- Tribal beneficiaries
- Individual forest leaseholder
