In  the  ongoing  2nd  phase  of RUSA, central support for 70 MDCs have been approved in Aspirational districts identified  by  NITI  Aayog  and  in  unserved  and  underserved  areas  in  NorthEastern and Himalayan States. The  State-wise  number  of  MDCs  approved  including  for  the  State  of  Uttar Pradesh is annexed.
