The Directorate of Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare is the implementing body of Tea Tribes Welfare and Adivasi Department. The Directorate implements a variety of schemes across a wide spectrum ranging from scholarships (Sirish Scholarship) for school/college going students, skills & entrepreneurships, start-up grants-in-aid for self-employment activities, grants-in-aid to women SHGs etc. These initiatives have been able to bring about significant improvements in the overall scenario.
The Directorate, in order to avoid the time-consuming paper-works which were also prone to error, has since the financial year 2020-21, adopted the online application system through the https://sirishassam.in portal. With the transition to online application system, the process, right from filling forms to availing services, has become automated. The applicants are also able to track the status of their application and the entire process is transparent, error-free and time-bound.
