Resources should be distributed equally with a special focus on under-served areas, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Saturday while inaugurating Sankalp Saptaah, a week-long programme for aspirational blocks.
Sankalp Saptaah is the culmination of brainstorming sessions organised at village and block levels across the country for the effective implementation of the Aspirational Blocks Programme (ABP). The ABP is devised to improve governance at the block level and is being implemented in 500 blocks in 329 districts in the country.
Mr. Modi said the ABP is based on the Aspirational District Programme. “The Aspirational District Programme has transformed the lives of about 25 crore people in 112 districts,” he said, adding that the ABP is bound to be a huge success.
