The Ministry of Rural Development is implementing Aajeevika Skills (Placement Linked Skill Development schemes) called “Roshani” for youth from 27 most critical Left Wing Extremist (LWE) affected districts. 

Further, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is implementing and monitoring the Road Requirement Plan (RRP-I) since 2009-10 in 34 LWE affected districts and envisages development of total length of 5477 kms of roads in 8 LWE affected States in an estimated cost of Rs. 7300.00 crore.   Though not specifically aimed of tribals, RRP-I would lead to the overall development of the area.  The implementation of the schemes/programmes of various development programmes of the Government is a continuing process with the progress being monitored from time to time.
