Gujarat beats other states in implementation of PM-JANMAN in July
Of the 75 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) residing in the 18 states and one Union Territory, five — Kathodi, Kotwalia, Padhar, Siddi and Kolgha — are in Gujarat

As of July, Gujarat has sanctioned 12,489 houses under the PM-JANMAN. Also, 17 road projects have been approved. Notably, 100% of the 2,803 identified PVTG households, which lacked piped water supply, have now been covered.
Electricity has reached 5,200 PVTG households under the mission, and 37 mobile towers have been installed, with work on 34 additional towers currently underway.
Health services have been expanded through the deployment of 22 mobile medical units, and 67 Anganwadi centres are set to be established specifically for tribal women. In the education sector, 13 hostels have been sanctioned.
Additionally, the government has approved 21 Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVKs) to promote livelihood opportunities through the value addition of forest produce. Further, 39 multipurpose centres have been sanctioned to deliver services like skill training, nutrition, health, adult education, and cultural programmes, the statement said.
The mission is implemented with coordinated efforts from eight central ministries: Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Power, Ministry of Communications and Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
