About the Aspirational Districts Programme:

The NITI Aayog’s aspirational Districts Programme was launched in 2018.  The programme is aimed at identifying potential districts that can develop into model blocks through socio-economic development. Under the programme, the central government takes steps to improve the socio-economic condition of identified districts and ensure inclusive and holistic development.

The programme enables the local administration to leverage technology and innovation for better governance and service delivery. During its launch, a total of 117 Districts were identified to be a part of the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP). The development and performance of these districts is evaluated by NITI Aayog every month through reports sent by district administrators.
