1. INDIAN ECONOMY :The decadal average annual growth rate of the Indian Economy, after fluctuating around 3.5

per cent for the decade of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, took a quantum leap to 5.65 per cent in the decadeof the 1980s. Similarly, after hitting a low of 1.3 per cent in 1991-92 in the aftermath of the balance of paymentcrisis, the annual rate of growth rapidly accelerated to around 7.5 per cent during 1994-95 to 1996-97.

The Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-07) has been prepared against a backdrop of high expectationsarising from some aspects of the recent performance. GDP growth in the post reforms period has improvedfrom an average of about 5.7 per cent in the 1980s to an average of about 6.1 per cent in the Eighth and NinthPlan periods, making India one of the ten fastest growing countries in the world. The Tenth Five Year Plan aimsat achieving an average growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 8 per cent per annum over theperiod 2002 to 2007. It also seeks to create the conditions for a further acceleration in the growth rate over theEleventh Plan period (2007-12) in order to achieve a doubling of per capita income of the country over thenext ten years.

The strategy for the Tenth Plan include redefining the role of Government, a Statewisebreakdown of growth and social development targets, extending reforms into the agricultural sector, emphasison employment-generating sectors and poverty alleviation. Simultaneously, the Tenth Plan has specific focuson key indicators of human development. Accordingly, the Plan seeks to establish, in addition to the targetrate of real growth of 8 per cent, “specific and monitorable targets” measuring human well being, in terms of: (1) Reduction of poverty ratio by 5 percentage points by 2007, (2) Providing gainful and high-qualityemployment atleast in addition to the labour force over the Tenth Plan period, (3) All children to complete 5years of schooling by 2007, (4) Reduction in gender gaps in literacy and wage rates by at least 50 per centby 2007, (5) Reduction in the decadal rate of population growth between 2001 and 2011 to 16.2 percent, (6) Increase in Literacy rates to 75 per cent within the plan period, (7) Reduction of Infant MortalityRate (IMR) to 45 per 1000 live births by 2007, ( 8) Reduction of Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) to 2 per1000 live births by 2007, (9) Increase in forest and tree cover to 25 per cent by 2007, (10) All villages tohave sustained access to potable drinking water within the Plan period and (11) Cleaning of major pollutedrivers by 2007.

The first year (2002-03) of the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-07), registered an average annualgrowth rate of 7.6 per cent. During the second year (2003-04) of the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-07), a strongperformance has been recorded in the Indian Economy. The main driver of growth was the resurgence ofagricultural production from the drought of the preceding year. The other factors were buoyant external demandand continued industrial recovery. The performance of agriculture in 2003-04 was typical of a normal monsoonyear following a drought year. The notable feature this time was the simultaneous and well distributed firming upof activity in industry and services. Exports contributed significantly to higher growth in a wide range ofmanufacturing industries - machinery and transport equipment, automobiles, iron and steel, chemicals andchemical products - attesting to the rising international competitiveness of Indian Industry. Capacity utilisationimproved in several manufacturing industries as well as in electricity generation and mining and quarrying. Arobust expansion of activity in trade, hotels, transport and communication paved the way for strong growth ofthe services sector, well above the average for the period 1993-2003. Moreover, the resilience of the InformationTechnology enabled services and business process out sourcing activities.

India has recorded one of the highest growth rates in the world in 2004-05, despite some setback arising from insufficient monsoon and sporadic supplies-side pressures on inflation. India has become the


iv Socio-Economic Review, Gujarat State, 2005-06

fourth largest economy in the world after US, China and Japan. The US, China, Japan and India account for21.6 per cent, 13.1 per cent, 6.8 per cent and 5.9 per cent of the world GDP respectively. According to theWorld Development Report 2004, India has become the fourth largest economy in terms of PurchasingPower Parity (PPP) after the US, China and Japan. The growth rate of Indian Economy was recorded at 7.5per cent (Based at the year 1999-2000 prices) in 2004-05. The growth rate of 7.5 per cent in GDP during theyear 2004-05 has been achieved due to high growth in mining and quarrying (5.8 per cent), manufacturing (8.1per cent), construction (12.5 per cent), trade hotels & restaurants (8.1 per cent), transport, storage &communication (14.8 per cent), finance & insurance, real estate, business services (9.2 per cent) and community,social & personal services (9.2 per cent). However, agriculture, forestry & fishing sector registered low growthrate (0.7 per cent) during the year 2004-05.

According to Mid-term Appraisal of the Tenth Five Year Plan , the actual Gross DomesticProduct (GDP) growth during the first three years of the plan was lower than the targeted 8.1 per cent.Therefore, apart from scaling down the annual economic growth target from 8.1 per cent to a more realistic 7-8 per cent. The Mid-Term Appraisal recommended 58 strategic policy measures which are expected to steerthe economy closure to the eleventh plan goal.

The Mid-Term Appraisal document is reported to containing numerous policy changes aimedat filling critical gaps in the social and physical infrastructure such as roads, irrigation projects and employmentschemes. The Mid-Term Appraisal has also suggested changes in labour laws, reduction in inspector raj,review of the existing sector specific regulators, high level of publicprivate participation in infrastructurecreation and review of the petroleum product pricing. The Mid-Term Appraisal has also said that rural distressneeds to be addressed by reversing the declining trends seen in the agriculture in the last few years. It has calledfor completion of irrigation projects and restructuring of irrigation projects as well as revival of traditional waterharvesting structures.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) summarize the developments goal agreed on atinternational conferences and world summits during the 1990s. At the beginning of the millennium (September2000) world leaders evolved the key goals and targets in the millennium Declaration Based on the declarationof various departments of the United Nations worked with the World Bank, the International Monetary Fundand the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on a concise set of goals , numericaltargets and quantifiable indicators to assess progress. The set is known as the MDG, which includes 8 goals,18 targets and 48 indicators . The UN General Assembly has approved these as a part of the Secretary-General’s Millennium Road map. Apart from UN Agencies, ADB has also adopted the MDG and is nowreorienting its processes to be able to design and implement projects that will help countries in achieving thesegoals. The thrusts of the MDG to be achieved by 2015 include (i) extreme poverty and hunger to be halved,(ii) universal primary education to be achieved, (iii) gender equality to be achieved, (iv) under-five mortality tobe reduced by two-thirds (v) maternal mortality to be reduced by three-quarters, (vi) the spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis to be reversed, (vii) environmental sustainability to be ensured etc. and (viii)Develop a Global Partnership for Development.

Some important human development advances have been registered since the MillenniumDeclaration was signed. Poverty has fallen and social indicators have improved. The MDGs have provided afocal point for international concern, putting development and the fight against poverty on the internationalagenda in a way that seemed unimaginable a decade ago. The year 2005 has been marked by an unprecedentedglobal campaign a dedicated to relegating poverty to the past. That campaign has already left its imprint in theform of progress on aid debt relief during the summit of the Group of Eight (G-8) major industrial economics.

The Human Development Index (HDI) encompasses the three important dimensions of income,education and health. Although there is no one-to-one increase correspondence between the HDI and poverty,


vSocio-Economic Review, Gujarat State, 2005-06

yet the HDI reported in the latest Human Development report - 2005 by the United Nations DevelopmentProgramme (UNDP) provides some supporting evidence about a possible decline in poverty between 1995and 2003. The HDI for India has improved from 0.548 in 1995 to 0.579 in 2000 and further to 0.602 in 2003.

There was a significant decline in the poverty ratio from 36.0 per cent in 1993-94 to 26.1 percent in 1999-00 and in the absolute number of poor from 328.9 million to 260.3 million. Inspite of the impressivedecline in poverty in the country as a whole there are wide variation in the incidence of poverty across statesand the rural and urban divide. The tenth plan (2002-07) has set a target of reduction in poverty ratio by fivepercentage points to 19.3 per cent by 2007 and by 15 percentage points by 2012. The targets for rural andurban poverty in 2007 are 21.1 per cent and 15.1 per cent respectively. As per the results of the 57th round(July, 2001 to June, 2002) of National Sample Survey, the proportion of chronically hungry households (notgetting enough to eat in any month of the year) declined to 0.5 per cent in rural areas and 0.1 per cent in urbanareas. As for seasonal hunger, 16 per thousand households in rural areas and 3 per thousand households inurban areas reported getting enough food only in some months of the year.

As of 2004, at all India level, in 947 employment exchanges, there was registration of 53.73lakh job seekers and the total 2.75 lakh vacancies were notified. At all India level the total 1.38 lakh personswere placed in employment.

The Global competitiveness report 2003-04 by the World Economic Forum ranks India at41st place on the barriers to the Foreign ownership . Investors are showing there growing a confidence in theimmediate and medium term prospects of the Indian Economy. A recent confidence survey by Global ConsultancyAT Keamey rated India as the third most favoured FDI destination, next only to China and United States.Moreover , for the first time manufacturing investors surveyed by AT Keamey considered India as a superiormanufacturing located than even in the US. According to the World Investment Report 2004 of United Nationsconference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Global FDI Inflows have declined significantly from thepeak of US $ 1.4 trillion in 2000 to US $ 560 billion in 2003. FDI Inflow to India , on the contrary has showna rise particularly in 2003 to reach US $ 4.27 billion from US $ 3.40 billion.

India’s market capitalisation went over the half trillion dollar mark for the first time and settledat US$ 506 billion. In terms of capitalisation , India became the 14th largest market in the world and the thirdlargest in Asia.

Population

1.1 India accounts for 2.4 per cent of world surface area but it supports 16.7 per cent of theworld population. According to the final results for the Census of India 2001, the population of India crossedone billion and was enumerated at 1.03 billion. Thus, India has become the second country in the world afterChina to cross one billion mark. The decadal growth of population at 21.53 per cent between 1991-2001,was the sharpest decline in the rate of growth of population witnessed since independence with the averageexponential growth rate declining from 2.14 per cent per annum during the previous decade to 1.93 per centannum during 1991-2001. The National Population Policy (NPP) 2000 outlines the long term objective ofachieving a stable population by 2045, at a level consistent with the requirements of sustainable economicgrowth and social development.

1.2 The percentage decadal growth of population in rural and urban areas in the decade 1991-2001 was 18.08 per cent and 31.48 per cent respectively.

Thus, main workers constitute about 30.43per cent and marginal workers constitute about 8.67 per cent of the total population. Among males 45.12 percent were main workers and 6.56 per cent were marginal workers while among females 14.68 per cent weremain workers and 10.95 per cent were marginal workers. Out of the total workers (main + marginal) 31.7 percent were cultivators, 26.5 per cent were agricultural labourers, 4.2 per cent were engaged in householdindustries and 37.6 per cent were engaged in other economic activities. Thus about 58.2 per cent of workingpopulation was engaged in agriculture (i.e. cultivators and agriculture labourers) in 2001.

2. STATE DOMESTIC PRODUCT

2.1 State Domestic Product (SDP) commonly known as “State Income” is a measure in monetaryterms of the volume of all goods and services produced within the geographical boundary of the state during agiven period of time, accounted without duplication. This is the most important macro-economic indicator usedto measure the growth and to study the structural changes taking place in the economy. The estimates of SDPover a period of time, reveal the extent and direction of the changes in the level of economic development.

2.2 The Per Capita Net State Domestic Product is used to determine both the absolute andrelative performance of the state economy. It is also considered as an important tool to measure regionaldisparities.

2.3 The estimates of SDP are prepared both at current and constant prices. The estimates ofSDP at current prices are obtained by evaluating the product at prices prevailing during the year. Theestimates of SDP at constant prices are prepared by evaluating the product of the current year with baseyear prices in order to eliminate the effect of price changes and to measure the real growth of economy.

Gross State Domestic Product

2.4 Gross State DomesticProduct (GSDP) at factor cost atconstant (1993-94) prices in 2004-05has been estimated at Rs 107033 croreas against Rs 101794 crore in 2003-04 registering a growth of 5.1 per centduring the year. At current prices,GSDP at factor cost in 2004-05 hasbeen estimated at Rs 179544 croreas against Rs.165708 crore in 2003-04 showing an increase of 8.3 per centduring the year.

3. AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED SECTORS

AGRICULTURE3.1 Output of agricultural sector in Gujarat State has been largely dependent on south-westmonsoon. The State frequently experiences erratic behaviour of the south-west monsoon, which can partly beattributed to geographic situation of the State. The wide variation in rainfall received by different parts of theState has been the characteristic feature of monsoon. The Dangs district in south Gujarat has received averagemaximum rainfall of 3825 mm, while the Kachchh district received average minimum rainfall of 304 mm in themonsoon of year 2005.Season 2005-063.2 During current year, the onset of monsoon has started from third week of June.

The farmers continued sowing of kharif crops like Bajara,Jowar, Maize, Tur, Moong, Udid, Cotton, Groundnut and Sesamum and Fodder crops wherever adequaterainfall was received.3.5 There was no rain during the second and third week of August. Even though, crop conditionwas satisfactory upto the last week of August due to sufficient moisture available in soil. The area coveredunder cotton crop was significant higher than the previous year.3.6 Due to dry spell in August, standing crops were suffered in dry land areas particularly inSaurashtra region and North Gujarat.3.7 But in second week of September, heavy rain caused damages to the crops in north Gujaratparticularly Mehsana, Sabarkantha, Ahmedabad and Patan and middle Gujarat also. Moreover, in third weekof September, scattered but heavy rainfall was reported. The crops suffered due to water logging condition inthe fields. Crops like cotton, sesamum, pulses, bajra, jowar etc. which are standing in field, were adverselyaffected.3.8 There was no rain during the last week of September in the State. The crop condition wasnormal. There were no serious pest problems in standing crops.3.9 During the first fortnight of the October, there was no rain in the State except scattered rainfallreceived in some parts of Amreli, Dangs, Junagadh, Rajkot and Valsad districts.

WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

3.58 Irrigation facility is a key factor in increasing agriculture production. The ultimate irrigationpotential through surface water as per the latest estimate is assessed at 39.40 lakh hectares, which includes17.92 lakh hectares to be irrigated through Sardar Sarovar (Narmada) Project. The ground water resourcesare relatively limited and some of the ground water resources are almost fully exploited in different parts of theState to the point of ecological degradation. There is an urgent need to curb the over exploitation of water andthe only alternative left is augmentation of water resources through surface water. The details regarding waterresources can be seen from following table.



3.59 It is revealed from the above table that upto June, 2005 the total irrigation potential createdcomes out to 62.17 per cent and maximum utilisation comes out to 56 per cent of the ultimate irrigationpotential. However the maximum utilisation is 90 per cent with respect to irrigation potential created.

3.60 Some important activities carried out by the State Government for the Development of WaterResources are as under :

(1) A scheme called “Sardar Patel Water Conservation Scheme” (SPWCS) is implemented bythe State Government. Under this scheme, it is decided that the beneficiaries or Non Government Organisationare ready to bear 40 per cent of the cost (20 per cent in Tribal areas) of Check-Dam, State Government willbear remaining 60 per cent of the cost (80 per cent in Tribal areas). After April, 2005 the ratio is 80:20 forentire state (80 per cent Government share and 20 per cent beneficiaries share). The basic idea of implementingsuch scheme is to create awareness regarding quality of work among farmers, sense of ownership as theyalso share the cost, make economic use of water and also to bear themselves responsibility of operation andmaintenance of the check dam. More than 50000 check dams have been completed with public participationand nearly 1500 tanks have been also deepened, by the end of December, 2005.

2) In costal areas of the State due to salinity ingress in culturable land, the fertility of this land hasbecome less or land has become useless. Considering this aspect as serious, several schemes like BandharaTidal regulator, check dam, spreading canal etc. were taken up. In last two years the 28 km. long spreadingcanal is completed and in 35 km. it is on progress. The notice inviting tenders of 5 Bandharas are in progress.

3) To prevent salinity ingress in water scarce areas of Saurashtra and Kachchh, number of salinityingress prevention work such as construction of Tidal Regulators, Bandharas, Recharge Reservoirs, Spreadingand Radial channels, etc. have been taken-up and till today nearly 29500 hectares are covered under irrigationdirectly or indirectly.

4) With a view to increasing the reservoir’s capacity of the existing irrigation scheme, a newscheme for providing hydro plus fuse gate on the top of spillways was implemented in medium irrigationschemes.

3.61 Sujalam Sufalam Yojana : Sujlam Suflam Yojana is being implemented keeping in view 10water scare district of the State.

1) The Sujlam Sufalam Canal is having length 337 km i.e. from Kadana reservoir to Banas river.This work is running very fast. The earthwork of more than 4.00 crore cubic meter is completedout of total 6.00 crore cubic meter of earthwork. This is nearly 70 per cent of the total earthwork.The work of river crossing on 19 structure is started and planned to be completed till June,2006.

2) The 9 reservoirs of North Gujarat are planned to fill by laying lift pipe line based on the surpluswater of Narmada. On this account the work of Piyaj, Dharoi pipeline for Dharoi reservoir iscompleted. The work of pipeline of Hathmati and Guhai reservoir is started. The work ofKhorsam-Saraswati pipeline is at the verge of completion. The work of Modhera Dharoipipeline is in progress. The work of four pipelines from different chainages Narmada maincanal to Sujalam Sufalam Canal is also in progress.

3) At present the use of ground water in this area is more. After the completion of this scheme, theuse of ground water will decrease and thus electricity consumption will be saved. The StateGovernment will save the large amount paid to subsidy. Due to recharge of ground water,quality of drinking water will be improved. Also the agricultural production will be increased.

4) Piyaj - Dharoi lift pipeline is completed, benefitting the irrigation in 11000 hectare. Also 107villages and one district get drinking water facility.

5) The work orders of 229 check dams on river crossing Sujalam Sufalam Spreading (SSS)channel between Narmada Main Canal and SSS channel have been issued. Out of these thework in 69 check dams are completed however in 70 check dams work is in progress.

Work of Sujalam Sufalam in Panchmahal and Dahod1) The work of Kadana left bank high level canal has been started.2) The work of design, survey and soil investigation of Panam high level has been completed.

3.82 The State Government has prepared a master plan for the maximum development and utilizationof water resources in the State. Even after completion of SSNNL, 50 per cent area of the State will havepartially benefit of irrigation, industrial and drinking water. Generally almost all the rivers are get water in rainyseason for 25 to 30 days. In these circumstances, it is very essential to harness maximum quantity of rainwaterby amicable means that otherwise would go waste meeting the sea in huge quantum. Major Rivers like Narmada,Mahi and Sabarmati etc. are debouching in the gulf of Khambhat. There are Sardar Sarovar, Kadana &Dharoi Dams built up on these rivers respectively. Flood water Down Stream of these dams, is going in sea. Itis necessary to plan to store this water, which is going in sea and not utilized for the irrigation, industry ordrinking water. In this context KALPASAR is viewed as an important multipurpose project to store sweetwater in huge quantity.

3.83 It is proposed to build a dam across the Gulf of Khambhat connecting Ghogha in Bhavnagarand Hansot in Bharuch District. Total length of dam will be 64.16 kms. The fresh water reservoir will have anarea of 2070 sq.kms. It will store 12250 Million M3of water. A tidal reservoir of 872 sq.km. area will also beformed for tidal power generation. There will also be power house, spillway and navigation locks etc.

3.84 There are two options for the generation of Tidal Power (1) Single Basin and (2) Double Basin.Single Basin option is having a capacity of 5880 MW (installed) and Double Basin is that of 1680 MW (installed).

3.85 The cost of the project is approximately Rs. 54000 crore for single basin option and Rs.48000 crore for double basin option at 1999 price level. 10.54 lakh ha. coastal land of Southern Saurashtranot covered under SSNNL, will get benefit of irrigation water from Kalpsar Project. 1.19 lakh ha. barren andsaline land will be reclaimed. It will also provide 900 Million M3 of water for domestic usages and 500 MillionM3 of water for the industrial development of Saurashtra and Kachchh regions. There will be reduction indistance between Dahej & Ghogha by 225 kms. and will provide sizeable relief to existing road networkserving Saurashtra. There will be no problems of rehabilitation, land submergence and interstate dispute.

3.86 The State Government has carried out six specific studies prior to take a decision to go aheadwith the preparation of a full scale feasibility report. These studies have been completed and out come of thestudies revealed that the Kalpasar project is technically feasible and economically viable.

It has been specifically directed that the State shall promote, with special care, theeducational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the society and in particular of the ScheduledCastes and Scheduled Tribes and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation. Inconformity with these provisions, vigorous and systematic efforts are being made by the Government to bringabout socio-economic amelioration of the weaker sections of the society in general and of the backwardclasses in particular.

6.80 The Government of India has classified the Backward Classes into four main categories i.e.Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Nomadic Tribes and Denotified Tribes. Gujarat State has also adoptedthis classification. In addition, the State Government had appointed a Commission popularly called as BaxiCommission to study the social and economic condition of the backward classes (other than scheduled castesand the scheduled tribes) and to suggest measures for their upliftment. The State Government accepted therecommendations made by the Baxi commission fully and decided to implement the same with effect from theyear 1978-79. The Government has also decided to consider 78 castes/classes/groups identified by thecommission as Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC). The State Government has also set upa one man commission to identify the socially and educationally backward classes in Gujarat for reservation inGovernment services, educational institutions and to get other advantages on the basis of the MandalCommission Report. The commission will add more communities to the existing list or even exclude some ofthem from it and will recommend criteria for the removal of the so called “Creamy Layer”. The commission ispermanent and it would go on evaluating recommendations from time to time in regard to Socially and EducationallyBackward Communities. At present, Socially and Educationally Backward Classes comprises of 128 castes/classes/groups.

6.81 Besides, the Government has decided to give certain benefits to the persons with a familyincome limit of Rs. 11000/- per annum and with specified occupations. These people have been designated asEconomically Backward Classes (EBC). Further, from 1978-79, the State Government has also taken up theimplementation of welfare schemes for religious and linguistic minorities. Thus, in Gujarat (i) Scheduled Castes(ii) Scheduled Tribes (iii) Nomadic Tribes (iv) Denotified Tribes (v) Socially and Educationally BackwardClasses (vi) Economically Backward Classes and (vii) Some minorities are recognised as backward classes.



6.82 The population of Scheduled Castes in the State, as per 2001 Census is 35.93 lakh and that ofScheduled Tribes is 74.81 lakh i.e. 7.09 per cent and 14.76 per cent respectively of the total population(506.71 lakh) of the State. Socially and Educationally Backward Classes and Economically Backward Classesconstitute a sizeable proportion of the State’s population. The population of the Minorities is more than 50lakh. Various development programmes in general sectors are also aimed at taking ameliorative measures forthe people living below poverty line, small and marginal farmers, etc. These categories include a large majorityof the backward classes classified above. All departments are required to make special provisions for ScheduledCastes and Scheduled Tribes and these are aggregated into Special Component Plan for Scheduled Castesand Tribal Area Sub-Plan for Scheduled Tribes. Similarly, special schemes, which are of supplementary natureare prepared for the welfare of Other Backward Classes to bring them at par with other sections of theSociety. The population of Scheduled Castes is scattered all over the State with a little more concentration inNorth Gujarat and Saurashtra region. The other backward classes are also spread all over the State almostuniformly. For economic upliftment of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes EconomicDevelopment Corporation and Gujarat Tribal Development Corporation have been set up. Similarly, for Sociallyand Educationally Backward Classes and Minorities, Gujarat Backward Class Development Corporationand Gujarat Minorities Finance and Development Corporation are functioning in the State.

Tribal Sub-Plan

6.83 The constitution of the country under Article 46 provides that the State shall promote withspecial care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections and in particular of scheduledcastes and scheduled tribes and protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation. Late PanditJawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India adopted the approach for development of schedule tribes.The development of tribals should be along the lines of genius of their community and imposition of it should beavoided. The integration of tribals with the rest of the society should be encouraged without disturbing theirtraditions, ethos, arts and culture and without loss of their identity. Their rights of land and forest should bepreserved and they should be prepared and trained for their administration and development. The approach ofgradual socio economic advancement of tribals for their integration with the rest of the community on equalfooting within a reasonable period of time was to be kept in view for the formation of Tribal Sub-Plan. It wasonly in the Fifth Five Year Plan the concept of tribal area sub-plan was introduced. The objectives of thestrategy thereafter remained two pronged approaches i.e. (1) Socio economic development of the ScheduledTribes and (2) Protection of tribals against exploitation with certain in subsequent years.

6.84 With a view to implement the strategy the approach of Integrated Tribal Development Projects(ITDPs) was evolved during the Fifth plan, wherein thickly tribal populated talukas were covered. During theSixth plan Modified Area Development Approach (MADA) was adopted for smaller areas of tribal concentrationhaving 10000 populations and above and of which 50 percent was introduced, wherein areas smaller thanMADA pockets now clusters of villages having 5000 population and above and of which 50 percent or morewere tribals were identified and included under Tribal Area Sub-Plan. In Gujarat there are 12 Integrated TribalDevelopment Project areas viz. (1) Palanpur (2) Khedbrahma (3) Dahod (4) Chhotaudepur (5) Rajpipla (6)Mandvi (7) Songadh (8) Vansada (9) Dangs (10) Bharuch (11) Valsad and (12) Godhra. These 12 ITDPsareas include in all 43 talukas, 15 pockets and 4 clusters besides one MADA pocket of AMOD though notincorporated in ITDP area has been covered under ITDP Rajpipla for the purpose of administration andimplementation of TASP schemes in 12 Integrated Tribal Development Projects. As per 2001 census, thecoverage of tribal population under ITDPs is about 61.38 lakh, which accounts for 82.04 per cent of the totaltribal population in the State, while 13.43 lakh tribals are scattered and dispersed. The total area coveredunder Tribal Area Sub-Plan is 31642 sq.kms., which constitutes roughly 15 per cent of the total area of theState. In ITDP areas, tribal population contributes to 68.23 per cent of the total population.
