The Van Dhan Scheme is an initiative of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs and TRIFED . It was launched on 14th April, 2018 and seeks to improve tribal incomes through value addition of tribal products . At State level, the State Nodal Agency for MFPs and the District collectors are envisaged to play a pivot role in scheme implementation at grassroot level. Locally the Kendras are proposed to be managed by a Managing Committee (an SHG) consisting of representatives of Van Dhan SHGs in the cluster. At unit level, aggregation of produce would be done by SHGs having about 30 members each forming Van Dhan Vikas ‘Samuh’. The SHGs would also undertake primary value addition of the MFPs.
