The Directorate of Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare (TTWD) functions under the Tea Tribes Welfare and Adivasi Welfare Department, implementing a wide range of development and welfare schemes for the Tea Tribes and Adivasi communities. These initiatives cover areas such as scholarships for school and college students, skill development and entrepreneurship programs, start-up grants for self-employment, and financial assistance to women’s Self-Help Groups (SHGs), among others.
Each year, TTWD invites applications from eligible individuals and groups within these communities to avail benefits under various scholarship and welfare schemes. To streamline the process and reduce paperwork, the Directorate introduced an online application platform — the SIRISH Portal — starting from the financial year 2020-21, making the entire application process faster and more accessible.
