Will the Minister of RURAL DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state the details regarding the  'Development of model village' scheme being undertaken including the villages selected for this project, State/UTwise?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

The Ministry of Rural Development is implementing a scheme namely Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) through the States and UTs for development of model villages. Under the Saansad  Adarsh  Gram  Yojana  framework,  the  development  of  Gram  Panchayats  is  envisaged through  convergence  and  implementation  of  existing  Government  Schemes  and  Programmes under the administrative control of respective Ministries without allocating additional funds.

The Gram Panchayats adopted under SAGY prepare Village Development Plans (VDP) through a  participatory  process  under  the  guidance  of  Hon'ble  Members  of  Parliament.  The  VDP includes prioritised time-bound activities to achieve holistic and integrated development of the villages. SAGY aims at instilling certain values in the villages and their people so that they get transformed into models for others. These models of local level development and effective local governance motivate and inspire neighbouring Gram Panchayats to learn and adapt. The Hon'ble Members  of  Parliament  have  adopted  2,046  Gram  Panchayats  under  Saansad  Adarsh  Gram Yojana  (SAGY)  till  11  March,  2021.The  State/UT-wise  details  of  Gram  Panchayats  adopted under Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY)   is given in Annexure-I. Till date, 48,988 projects have been completed out of 77,457 projects planned under VDPs as per information uploaded on SAGY portal (http://saanjhi.gov.in). The progress of implementation of the Village Development Plans (VDP) in the SAGY Gram Panchayats is given at Annexure-II.
