Help us verify“We have introduced several welfare schemes for nomadic tribes, which have brought a positive change in their lives. We will further expand all these schemes.”
The Scheme for Economic Empowerment of Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes (SEED), launched 16 February 2022 with about Rs 200 crore for 2021-22 to 2025-26, provides competitive-exam coaching, health insurance (Ayushman cards), livelihood support and housing assistance (via PMAY convergence) for DNT/NT/SNT communities. Reported uptake has been modest and uneven: as of March 2025, around 541 students had been coached and 2,620 SHGs (about 29,517 beneficiaries) formed across eight states, with roughly 7,000+ Ayushman cards distributed by November 2024, and implementation hampered by classification and caste-certificate bottlenecks. The pledge to "further expand" these schemes is only partly realised. Partial, low confidence.
SEED scheme progress reported: ~541 DNT students coached and 2,620 SHGs (~29,517 beneficiaries) formed across eight states; uptake constrained by classification and certificate delays.
