Most of the tribal families who live in settlements are poor and vulnerable to various diseases particularly water borne diseases. A total sanitation project has been approved for Wayanad under CRSP.

The sanitation project would become infructuous without a simultaneous programme to provide safe drinking water. Kerala has evolved, through its Village Panchayats, a model of community based piped water supply system. The beneficiary population is involved right from the project design stage. The work is executed through commmunity contracting and not less than 10-15% of the capital cost is obtained as contribution from the participating families.

They are vulnerable to diseases and even starvation as food security is much below the level prevailing in other parts of the State.

As part of the Anti-Poverty Sub Plan, the State Government intends to bring the tribal families into the mainstream by ensuring a minimum standard of living. Among other things special focus is to be given to provide acceptable standards of infrastructure and other facilities in schools and hospitals in the most backward tribal areas. This is to ensure that the tribals get an assured level of service from the hospitals and quality education from the schools.

It is proposed to upgrade the facilities of schools where at least 20% of the students belong to tribal communities as also hospitals in tribal areas and tribal hostels. For this an amount of Rs. 900 lakhs is provided.

(Outlay Rs.5150 lakhs)

Land alienation has been the major problem in tribal areas. Government have now launched a Mission to identify land for giving at least one acre to every landless tribal family and suitably resettle such families. Funds from Tribal Sub Plan are being earmarked for this purpose.

Since a large number of families need rehabilitation substantial funds are required. A key component of the resettlement exercise is provision of houses suited to the tribal way of living and appropriate to the local surroundings. Breaking away from the existing practice of providing "type-design" houses, it is proposed to evolve new designs in consultation with different tribal groups which would be locally suitable.

Hitherto the tribal houses were constructed mostly by middlemen. Now it is proposed to train tribal youth in building construction and entrust them the task of building the houses. Thus the proposal would serve the dual objective of enhancing the skill of tribal youth even while providing a basic need. An additional amount of Rs. 700 lakhs is provided in the SDG for implementing the above components. Thus the total outlay provided for this scheme will be
Rs. 5150 lakhs.
