In January 2018, the Government of India initiated the ‘Transformation of Aspirational Districts’ program. With the goal of achieving a New India by 2022, the primary objective was to enhance India’s standing on the Human Development Index (HDI), uplift the living standards of its citizens, and ensure inclusive growth for all. The Aspirational Districts Program (ADP) identifies the most underdeveloped districts among the 700+ in the country. This program dedicates special attention and support to expedite progress in these 115 districts situated at the lowest tier of our development pyramid.
