(a): In 2021-22 the erstwhile scheme of Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana has been subsumed under the umbrella Scheme Pradhan Mantri Anusuchit Jaati Abhyuday Yojana (PM-AJAY). The villages having more than 40% SC population and a total population of 500 or more are eligible for selection under the Scheme. The selected villages are saturated with identified 50 Socio-Economic developmental indicators as detailed at Annexure, under 10 domains; namely Drinking Water and Sanitation, Education, Health and Nutrition, Social

:

Security, Rural Roads and Housing, Electricity and Clean Fuel, Agricultural Practices, Financial Inclusion, Digitization, Livelihood and Skill Development.

The scheme is implemented through State Government/Union Territory administration, to fulfil the gaps identified in the Village Development Plans (VDPs) of the respective villages. For saturating the individual and family needs, camps are organized and for fulfilment of the critical infrastructure gaps in the villages, the gap-filling fund provided under the Scheme are used to meet such requirements based on priority, for execution in convergence mode with other relevant schemes.

An amount of Rs. 21.00 lakh per village are provided for newly selected villages, out of which Rs. 20.00 lakh is for carrying out activities under the 'Gap-filling' component in selected villages. The balance amount of Rs. 1.00 lakh is utilized for administrative and other expenses.

Since 2018-19, 29851 villages have been identified, out of which 10240 villages have been declared as Adarsh Gram.

(b) Since 2018-19, a total of 29,851 villages have been selected under the Adarsh Gram component of the Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAGY). Of these, 1,690 villages have been selected in Madhya Pradesh and 515 in Maharashtra. No village has been selected from Mumbai or Sambhaji Nagar district in Maharashtra. The Adarsh Gram component is not implemented in the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.
