ANSWER THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU) (a) & (b) : Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK), a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, is one of the flagship programmes of the Ministry of Minority Affairs for creation of community infrastructure in the Minority Concentration Areas (MCAs) of the country in sectors viz. Health, Skill Development, Education, Women-centric Projects, Drinking Water Supply, Sanitation, Sports, Renewable Energy, Tourism, Animal Husbandry and other community infrastructure. The scheme also aims to boost the social and economic conditions of the Minority Communities in these areas. Project proposals under the scheme are formulated by the respective State Governments/UT Administrations. The concerned State Governments/UT Administrations may submit project proposals for any district where the minority population exceeds 25% within a 15 km radius.After receiving the project proposal on the PMJVK portal, the Ministry examines and approves the proposal in accordance with the scheme guidelines. (c)& (d) : The Buddhist Development Plan (BDP) under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK), released in March, 2024, is a multi-faceted initiative aimed at promoting educational, cultural, economic, and infrastructure growth in the Himalayan and North Eastern regions of the country. It is a targeted development plan specifically focusing on the development of the Buddhist population residing in the regions of Ladakh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Arunachal Pradesh. Proposals under the Plan are submitted by the State Governments/UT Administrations. No proposal has been received from the State of Andhra Pradesh and from Boudh district of Odisha under the Buddhist Development Plan. The State-wise details of projects approved under the Buddhist Development Plan of PMJVK are given at Annexure-I. (e) to (g) : The fund sharing pattern between the Central and State Governments under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is as follows:  60% (Central Share) : 40% (State Share) – Applicable for all States and Union Territories (UTs) with Legislature.  90% (Central Share) : 10% (State Share) – Applicable for North Eastern States, Himalayan States (Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand), and Himalayan UT with Legislature (Jammu & Kashmir). Under PMJVK, funds are allocated based on project proposals submitted by States/Union Territories, rather than through pre-determined State/UT-wise allocations. While the scheme focuses on Minority Concentration Areas, the benefits of infrastructure created under PMJVK are not limited to any one community. These facilities are accessible to all residents of the area, irrespective of religion or background. This inclusive approach fosters equitable development, promotes social harmony, and ensures access to essential services for all. The total funds released during the last five years and the current year under PMJVK is given below. Details of projects approved under PMJVK since inceptions are at Annexure II.
