## STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (A)  TO  (F)  OF  LOK  SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.21* FOR 24.07.2024 REGARDING 'ASPIRATIONAL DISTRICTS' RAISED BY SHRI MAGUNTA SREENIVASULU REDDY.

- (a) The  aspirational  districts  were  selected  through  a  transparent  process  on  the  basis  of published data. List of data sets and the weight attached to them for selection of these districts is attached in Annexure - I.
- (b) Yes Sir, there have been independent assessments of the functioning and impact of the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP).
- a. UNDP made a comprehensive appraisal of this programme
- b. Institute for Competitiveness Assessment (a team of expert led by Prof. Michael Porter of Harvard Business school) made a detailed assessment of the programme

The UNDP report titled 'Aspirational Districts Programme: An Appraisal,' submitted in December 2020,  confirmed  that  significant  progress  has  been  made  in  various  aspects such  as  sector-wise  growth,  better  governance  through  convergence,  and  accelerated development through competitive federalism.  This  progress  has  been  driven  by  factors including  strong  leadership,  real-time  monitoring,  data-driven  decision-making,  and capacity building.

Additionally, the Institute for Competitiveness highlighted that nearly all districts in the ADP  have  shown  improvement  on  key  development  parameters  compared  to  the baseline,  with  the  programme  successfully  advancing  social  impact  and  justice  by targeting the benefits towards the most disadvantaged areas. The delta ranking system has played a crucial role in fostering a competitive and dynamic culture, which has motivated several low-performing districts to enhance their standings over the past three years. The reports also suggested that the programme could serve as a model for future economic and social development strategies across India.

- (c) Under the Aspirational  Districts  Programme,  districts  undertake  various  developmental projects  to  address  critical  gaps  using  the  performance  grants  they  win  through  the programme's  delta  ranking  method.  The  total  funds  sanctioned  and  utilised  for  the development of aspirational districts in Andhra Pradesh under the ADP is Rs. 34.2 crores and  Rs.11.9  crores  respectively.  The  details  of  the  projects  undertaken  by  aspirational districts of Andhra Pradesh is attached as Annexure II.
- (d) The Aspirational Districts Programme monitors the progress of Aspirational Districts on 49  Key  Performance  Indicators  across  sectors,  critical  for  improving  quality  of  life  or economic productivity of citizens viz., health, nutrition, school education, agriculture and water resource management, financial inclusion, skill development and basic infrastructure.  Details  of  district-wise  performance  for  the  aspirational  districts  of  the

State of Andhra Pradesh are attached as Annexure III. The same is also available on the Champions of Change Portal (http://championsofchange.gov.in/site/coc-home/), which is in the public domain.

- (e) The Government has not considered making any changes regarding the indicators used to identify a particular district as an Aspirational District.
- (f) There are no plans to increase the number of selected Aspirational Districts, at present.
