Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana is a visionary rural development programme focused on creating model villages through sustainable infrastructure, inclusive growth, and community participation.
Transforming rural India through inclusive development, smart infrastructure, and sustainable community initiatives.
Empowering villages with sustainable development, modern infrastructure, and active community participation.
The Plan
Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana was initiated to bring the member of parliament of all the political parties under the same umbrella while taking the responsibility of developing physical and institutional infrastructure in villages and turn them into model villages. Under this scheme, each member of parliament needs to choose one village each from the constituency that they represent, fix parameters and make it a model village by 2016. Thereafter, they can take on two or three more villages and do the same by the time the next general elections come along in 2019, and thereafter, set themselves ten-year-long village or rural improvement projects. Villages will be offered smart schools, universal access to basic health facilities and Pucca housing to homeless villagers.
In order to convert the identified village into an Adarsh Gram through the specified activities, the following are the possible strategies:
Entry point activities to energize and mobilize the community towards positive common action
Participatory planning exercise for identifying peoples’ needs and priorities in an integrated manner
Converging resources from Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes and also other State schemes to the extent possible.
Repairing and renovating existing infrastructure to the extent possible.
Strengthening the Gram Panchayats and peoples’ institutions within them
Promoting transparency and accountability
