PM JANMAN

What is PM JANMAN?

Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN), launched on 15 November 2023 (Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda), is the Government of India's ₹24,104 crore mission to comprehensively develop 75 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) across 22 states. PVTGs are the most marginalised tribal communities (e.g., Sahariya, Birhor, Toda, Onge, Jarawa) — historically isolated, declining populations, pre-agricultural lifestyle, very low literacy. PM JANMAN covers 11 critical interventions: (1) Pucca Houses (PMAY-G) — 4.9 lakh houses; (2) Connecting roads (PMGSY); (3) Piped water (JJM); (4) Electrification (RDSS); (5) Mobile medical units; (6) Anganwadi Centres in PVTG habitations; (7) Hostels for PVTG students; (8) Vocational training centres; (9) Solar street lights & solar power; (10) Sickle Cell screening; (11) Tele-medicine. Implementation through 4-Tier monitoring — Centre, State, District, Block.

Under this scheme, eligible beneficiaries receive 11 interventions for 75 PVTGs — houses, roads, water, electricity, healthcare, education. The scheme was launched in 2023 and is implemented by the Government of India.
