(a) & (b) The Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme of the Ministry of Minority Affairs for creation of community infrastructure in Minority Concentration Areas across the country. The scheme supports projects in sectors such as education, health, skill development, women-centric activities, drinking water supply, sanitation, sports, renewable energy, tourism, animal husbandry and other community infrastructure.No project proposals have been received during the last two years and the current year from Nabarangpur district (Odisha), Jalgaon district (Maharashtra) and Jammu and Kashmir under PMJVK.

However, the details of projects approved during the last two years and the current year under PMJVK are placed at Annexure-I. Further, allocation of funds is not made under the scheme. The details of funds released during the last two years and the current year are provided at Annexure-II.

(c) & (d): No State-specific assessment of the impact of PMJVK on socio-economic indicators has been undertaken in the States of Odisha, Maharashtra and Jammu & Kashmir.

However, the Ministry has commissioned a Third-Party Evaluation Study through the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA), New Delhi, and an Impact-cum-Assessment Study by the Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office (DMEO), NITI Aayog. These studies

provided evidence-based assessment of the scheme’s impact, efficiency and sustainability in minority-concentrated areas. The assessments reviewed infrastructure creation, service delivery and outcomes, and highlighted gaps relating to awareness, fund flow, monitoring and asset maintenance.

Further, under PMJVK, States and Union Territories are regularly encouraged through Empowered Committee/Steering Committee meetings, review meetings and Chintan Shivir consultations to propose high-impact, convergence-based projects with other Central and State schemes. Such projects include residential hostels in the education sector, multi-speciality hospitals in the health sector and multi-sports facilities. These initiatives aim to expand coverage, improve service delivery and ensure greater socio-economic benefits to minority communities, including in districts of Odisha such as Nabarangpur.
