Through the mechanism of CDFS, District Collectors are enabled to directly reach out and ameliorate the economic condition of the most marginalized SCs and STs, who are beyond the reach of regular Government schemes.  

100% grant assistance in the form of assets with a value up to Rs. 10,000/- per person is directly given to marginalized SC/ST, identified by the District Collector, for starting small level income generating activity.  

Bonded laborers, caste-atrocity affected, widows, destitute, disabled, etc. are benefited by this scheme.
