Option 1 is true as The Comprehensive Tribal Development Programme indeed focuses on overall tribal upliftment – which includes land development activities, improvements in housing, infrastructure development, etc.

Option 2 is also true. The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers Act provides forest-dwelling communities with various rights, including community rights.

Option 3 is the incorrect statement. The Special Area Development Programme does not focus on the distribution of forest products to the tribals equitably. It is more about implementing special projects for the overall socio-economic development in tribal areas. This programme does not have a specific agenda for the distribution of forest produce.

Option 4 is correct. The Special Central Assistance to Tribal Subplan is designed to supplement the state plan by providing resources for family-oriented income-generating schemes in sectors like agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, etc. This includes providing dairy cows to tribal groups living below the poverty line.
