Sl.No Goals for 2018 – 19
 
 Achievements till 31 March 2019
1
 Total inclusion of tribal women in Kudumbashree
Presently 1222 tribal NHGs have been selected for setting up of the best NHGs. Provision of all necessary capacity building training for these NHGs already completed in every district. Revolving Fund of Rs 15000 per NHGs distributed as per the target we given.  Provided various funds support to members who are engaged in livelihood activities. There were number of activities that implemented by the support of various development departments. The services of special tribal animators also ensured to the selected NHGs regularly and supported for entire families’involvement in activities.
Poor self-esteem, low income, domestic violence, malnourishment and related issues contribute to the backwardness of tribal community. Kudumbashree tries to address these key areas through building up of Neighborhood groups and developing activities based on that platform. Strong and empowered exclusive tribal neighborhood group in tribalcommunity will help in instigating self-esteem, negotiation power, critical analysis of their own situation and collective work towards social transformation. The aim for 2018- 19 is to build 500more NHGS and developing existing 500 NHGs into Self-sustainable ones.
2
 Tribal livelihood activities
Continuous interventions are required among Scheduled Tribes to enhance livelihood involvement. Holding to their traditional livelihoods as well as experimenting some innovative models, 73 traditional ME are presently functioning. This include, traditional medical treatment centers, handicrafts, traditional food and art group activity (trained through Iringal Craft VillageVadakara).
Decline in traditional livelihood activities and irregular MNREGS wages were contributing to the very low income status of tribal community. In this context, sustainable livelihood is an area to be explored well for main streaming them. In 2018-19, kudumbashree is planning to conduct exclusive food/art/craft festivals for the tribal livelihood group and identified 54 groups. Handholding support is being given to them now. By the end of this financial year, 50 traditional livelihood groups [medicine/craft/art/food] will be formed.
3
 Advance payment for MNREGS tribal workers in wayanad and attappady with support of tribal department Scheduled Tribes Development Department sanctioned Rs.11.12crore for start advance wage payment to Attapadi and wayanad area. 3 gram panchayatswere selected in each area for fund distribution. At present waynad is decided to spread all GPs at the earliest. A total of 2522 workers received this benefit.
According to MNREGS act, wages are to be paid within 15 days of completion of a work. Unfortunately, this is delayed for months and hence the community is hesitant to take up this “job assured”. To overcome this hurdle, Government of Kerala plans for weekly payment of wages (as advance) for which the amount will be channeled from ST Department. This year, we are piloting it at Wayanad and Attappady. The programme aims to provide advance wage to 10000 tribal MNREGS workers this year. This scheme also under plan to start in ARALAM farm of Kannur district.

 Special educational intervention in tribal hamlet Formation of tribal balasabha and adolescent’s club task were achieved. More centralized activities can be done only if the children's education standard is determined.
Education is the one and only means to address to the upcoming generation. In tribal hamlets, this .system is weak because many show inconsistencies in studies and they need special help to overcome the causes of being a drop-out like, poorself-esteem, inequity faced at educational institution and language related issues. To address this major challenge, we have proposed for starting Bridge Course for school going students. This year, it is proposed to conduct 100 bridge courses that benefits 2000 tribal children Formation of bridge course also achieved as 27 in number to ensure primary tuition. The teachers were from ST community itself. 29 adolescent clubs have been started to address the issues of adolescents.

PMAY
Sl. No Goals for 2018 – 19 Achievement till 05 March 2019
1 Providing a decent shelter is a key factor in mitigating the poverty of a family. “Prime Minister Awas Yojana (Urban)-LIFE” is implemented with the vision of providing “ Housing for All” in the urban areas in the state. In 2017-18, sanction has been obtained for the construction of houses for all the 82487 beneficiaries having land. In 2018-19, it is targeted to complete the construction of all the approved beneficiaries, thereby providing houses to all homeless having land. As part of the scheme implementation 1,11,252 Houses were approved under the Beneficiary led construction component. Among those 53,498 House construction were started and 9748 Houses were completed 14,028 Houses are under construction.
2 The Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) of PMAY(U) provides interest subvention on housing loans for the construction or purchase of houses . In 2017-18, 5000 housing loans have been sanctioned under the CLSS component of PMAY(U). In 2018-19, it has been targeted to sanction 6000 loans under the Credit linked subsidy component of PMAY. 14552 Beneficiaries got Loan under Credit linked subsidy scheme till date
3 Towards achieving the objective of “Housing for All”, providing dwelling units to landless beneficiaries is a major challenge. In the current financial year, it has been targeted to approve Detailed Project Reports for the construction of 600 apartments for the landless in 13 Urban Local Bodies. 2 projects for Landeless got Approval from Ministry and 488 Beneficiaries will get benefitted
(Perintalmanna-400 beneficiaries and GCDA -88 Beneficiaries)
4 Towards enhancing the quality of life of PMAY beneficiaries, it is proposed to conduct skill training and placement to the members of beneficiary families in convergence with the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM). Beneficiary orientation meetings were held in 2017-18 in various urban local bodies. In 2018-19, it is targeted to enroll maximum no:of beneficiaries from PMAY families under Employment Skill Training & Placement (EST&P ) component of NULM. 11504 Beneficiaries were given orientation under EST&P under NULM scheme.633 beneficiaries are enrolled and 142 got placement.
5 PMAY – Ayyankali Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme Convergence - For materializing this initiative, all the urban local bodies in the state are directed to establish convergence between PMAY beneficiaries and AUGES so that each of the PMAY beneficiary households gets minimum 90 man days of work. This will eventually lead a PMAY beneficiary to receive about an additional amount of Rs.24390 (Rs. 271 for 90 wage days) for the construction of House. As far as an urban poor is concerned, housing expenditure is a heavy burden on the family and this   initiative for convergence with AUGES will definitely minimize the burden.  45373 beneficiaries got AUEGS job card. Availed 355905 mandays and Rs.5.48 Cr spent as wage

Tribal
Sl. No Goals for 2018 – 19 Achievement till 05 March 2019
1 Total inclusion of tribal women in kudumbashree
Poor self-esteem, low income, domestic violence, malnourishment and related issues contribute to the backwardness of tribal community. Kudumbashree tries to address these key areas through building up of Neighborhood groups and developing activities based on that platform. Strong and empowered exclusive tribal neighborhood group in tribalcommunity will help in instigating self-esteem, negotiation power, critical analysis of their own situation and collective work towards social transformation. The aim for 2018- 19 is to build 500more NHGS and developing existing 500 NHGs into Self-sustainable ones.		 Presently 950 tribal NHGs have been selected for setting up of the best NHGs. Provision of all necessary capacity building training for these NHGs already completed in every district. Revolving Fund of Rs 15000 per NHGs distributed as per the target we given.  Provided various funds support to members who are engaged in livelihood activities. There were number of activities that implemented by the support of various development departments. The services of special tribal animators also ensured to the selected NHGs regularly and supported for entire families’involvement in activities.
2 Tribal livelihood activities
Decline in traditional livelihood activities and irregular MNREGS wages were contributing to the very low income status of tribal community. In this context, sustainable livelihood is an area to be explored well for main streaming them. In 2018-19, kudumbashree is planning to conduct exclusive food/art/craft festivals for the tribal livelihood group and identified 54 groups. Handholding support is being given to them now. By the end of this financial year, 50 traditional livelihood groups [medicine/craft/art/food] will be formed.		 Continuous interventions are required among Scheduled Tribes to enhance livelihood involvement. Holding to their traditional livelihoods as well as experimenting some innovative models, 56 traditional ME are presently functioning. This include, traditional medical treatment centers, handicrafts, traditional food and art group activity (trained through Iringal Craft VillageVadakara).
3 Advance payment for MNREGS tribal workers in wayanad and attappady with support of tribal department
According to MNREGS act, wages are to be paid within 15 days of completion of a work. Unfortunately, this is delayed for months and hence the community is hesitant to take up this “job assured”. To overcome this hurdle, Government of Kerala plans for weekly payment of wages (as advance) for which the amount will be channeled from ST Department. This year, we are piloting it at Wayanad and Attappady. The programme aims to provide advance wage to 10000 tribal MNREGS workers this year.

Scheduled Tribes Development Department sanctioned Rs.11.12crore for start advance wage payment to Attapadi and wayanad area. 3 gram panchayatswere selected in each area for fund distribution. At present waynad is decided to spread all GPs at the earliest. A total of 2522 workers received this benefit.

This scheme also under plan to start in ARALAM farm of Kannur district.
4 Special educational   intervention in tribal hamlet
Education is the one and only means to address to the upcoming generation. In tribal hamlets, this .system is weak because many show inconsistencies in studies and they need special help to overcome the causes of being a drop-out like, poorself-esteem, inequity faced at educational institution and language related issues. To address this major challenge, we have proposed for starting Bridge Course for school going students. This year, it is proposed to conduct 100 bridge courses that benefits 2000 tribal children

Formation of tribal balasabha and adolescent’s club task were achieved. More centralized activities can be done only if the children's education standard is determined.

Formation of bridge course also achieved as 27 in number to ensure primary tuition. The teachers were from ST community itself. 29 adolescent clubs have been started to address the issues of adolescents. Started library cum Adolescents resource center for capacitating the adolescences. All over near to 1600 children got benefited through this educational involvement.
