Replying to an un-starred question today in Rajya Sabha the Union Minister of State for Tribal Affairs Shri Durgadas Uikey informed that under the Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Vikas Mission (PMJVM) scheme, a total of 4105 Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVKs) have been sanctioned associating 12,27,231 members. These VDVKs have reported a cumulative sale of Rs. 13793.97 lakhs till date. Additionally, under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) initiative, a total of 539 VDVKs have been sanctioned associating 45,924 members. These VDVKs have reported a total sale of Rs. 386.04 Lakhs till date. The State/UT - wise details of the same are given at Annexure.
It has been observed that certain State Implementing Agencies (SIAs) are overburdened, which has impacted their ability to proactively drive the progress of the schemes. This is also impacted by inadequate skilled human resources. Additionally, inadequate infrastructure support & funding for VDVKs has been identified as a key constraint, limiting the effective execution of the initiatives. Furthermore, there is a notable deficiency in marketing opportunities, which hampers promotion and outreach.
The proposed measures taken in this regard are as follows:
Annexure referred to in reply to Part (a) to (c) of Rajya Sabha Unstarred Question No. 1257 for 10.12.2025
