Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in January, 2018, launched the Aspirational Districts programme aimed at transforming 112 most under-developed districts.
The broad contours of the programme are convergence (of Central & State Schemes), collaboration (of Central, State level ‘Prabhari’ Officers & District Collectors), and competition among districts through a monthly delta ranking.
