The scheme does not give a single cash payment to every family. Instead, it brings many government schemes to tribal villages together. Its outlay is over Rs 79,150 crore. It covers pucca houses, roads, drinking water, electricity, solar energy and mobile medical units. Benefits depend on the scheme and the village. Officials decide the list after a survey of the village. Amounts and rules of each individual scheme can change, so please confirm the current figures on the official site. ## Who can benefit, and who is left out? The main target is tribal families and villages that have not yet got government schemes. Tribal families in villages covered under the scheme's identified list are the first priority. Other families may still apply for individual schemes they qualify for, under those schemes' own rules. The scheme is for all India, but the actual villages covered are decided by the government. ## Why was this scheme started, and who runs it? The scheme is named after Birsa Munda, a tribal freedom fighter, whom people call Dharti Aaba. It was announced by the Prime Minister and is run by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. The aim is to bring government schemes closer to tribal families living in remote areas. The Prime Minister also linked it to Janjatiya Gaurav Divas, celebrated on Birsa Munda's birthday. ## What documents should you keep ready? Keep your Aadhaar card and your family's details ready. Keep your caste certificate, and your bank account passbook. Keep land or house papers, and ration card details, if you have them. The exact documents depend on the particular scheme you apply for, so check with the local office. ## How do you get the benefit, step by step? Go to your village panchayat, gram sabha or block office during a camp or survey. Tell the officials which schemes your family needs, such as a house, water or electricity.
