This strategy ensured a concentrated effort, allowing  for  quick  and  tangible  impact  on  critical  areas  of  development.  This  focused  and accelerated  approach  not  only  built  momentum  but  also  created  a  replicable  model  for achieving sustained improvements under the Aspirational Districts Programme and Aspirational Blocks Programme.
