Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Policy frameworks ensuring targeted budgetary allocations for SC and ST communities in central/state plans. They mandate earmarked funds proportional to SC/ST population shares, directed at education, health, housing, and livelihood schemes. The aim is bridging developmental gaps caused by historical marginalization. Implementation challenges include poor fund utilization, misdirection of resources, and lack of accountability. Nonetheless, SCSP and TSP remain vital strategies for inclusive growth, recognized in Five-Year Plans and recommended by the Planning Commission (now NITI Aayog). Progress depends on political commitment, robust data, and active stakeholder participation, underscoring the link between social justice and economic planning.
