MFP welfare plan for tribals floundering in the first year of its implementation -Nidhi Sharma

-The Economic Times

NEW DELHI: The minimum support price for minor forest produce (MFP), an initiative conceived as the next MNREGA and a welfare plan to cover about 100 million tribals, is floundering in the first year of its implementation.

Two of the nine states, where the ambitious programme had to be implemented, have still not agreed to do away with the established system of procuring MFP and introducing the new procedure. At the end of the 2014-15, half of Rs 100 crore earmarked by the Tribal Affairs Ministry, the nodal agency for this scheme, lays unutilised. Till January this year, only Rs 48.29 crore has been spent.
