States need to sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SoI for implementation of the scheme. So far 31 States/Union Territories (UTs) have signed MoU with SoI.

(b) The scheme aims to cover all the rural inhabited (Abadi) areas of the States which have signed MoU with SoI, including the State of Karnataka, by March 2025.
