Which one of the following statements is not true with regard to tribal welfare?

Statement 3 is incorrect because the Special Area Development Programme (SADP) is primarily focused on addressing regional imbalances and infrastructure development in specific backward areas, rather than the equitable distribution of forest produce to tribals. In contrast, the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, is the primary legal framework that recognizes community rights over common property resources and forest produce [3]. The Comprehensive Tribal Development Programme (CTDP) focuses on holistic improvements including land development and housing infrastructure. The Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS) aims at bridging gaps in tribal development by funding income-generating activities, which includes providing livestock like dairy cows to families below the poverty line to enhance their economic status [4].
