The  Gram  Panchayats  (GPs)  identified  under  Saansad  Adarsh  Gram  Yojana (SAGY)  prepare  Village  Development  Plans  (VDP)  which  contain  prioritised  time-bound activities  for  holistic  development  through  convergence  of  various  Central  and  State Government schemes. The schemes implemented for skill development and employment generation vary from state to state. The Central Government schemes which are suggested to be used by the identified GPs for Skill development and Employment generation are at Annexure-I. As per the guidelines of SAGY, the post-project assessment of performance and outcomes of all identified Gram Panchayats under Phase-I would be undertaken by the competent independent agency.
