This Ministry does not have a
rehabilitation policy for migrating tribals since
individuals migrate for varying reasons. The Central Government and the State
Governments through their programmes and policies seek to address different
requirements/issues.
This information was given by the Minister of
State for Tribal Affairs
Smt. Ranee Narah in
a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
