Tribal sub-plan
Also called: TSP · Topic: Regional Planning and Sustainable Development in India · NCERT: Class 12, Ch 6 "Planning and Sustainable Development in Indian Context"
Meaning
The tribal sub-plan (TSP) is a strategy started in the Fifth Plan in 1974. It sets aside a share of plan funds for tribal areas, at least in proportion to their tribal population. This makes sure money for tribal development is not swallowed by other areas. The money is spent through Integrated Tribal Development Projects, which are planning units for tribal regions. Their top priorities are transport and communications, agriculture and allied activities, and social and community services.
Example
Under the tribal sub-plan, Bharmaur in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh became one of five Integrated Tribal Development Projects in the state. It was notified as a tribal area on 21 November 1975.
Don't confuse with
- Integrated Tribal Development Project: this is the area unit that carries out the work on the ground. The tribal sub-plan is the funding strategy above it.
