Explanation
The Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) was launched by NITI Aayog in January 2018 to transform 112 of India's most under-developed districts. In Uttar Pradesh, a total of 8 districts have been covered under this initiative. These districts are:
- Bahraich
- Balrampur
- Chandauli
- Chitrakoot
- Fatehpur
- Shravasti
- Siddharthnagar
- Sonbhadra
The program ranks districts based on incremental progress across 49 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) grouped into five broad socio-economic themes: Health & Nutrition, Education, Agriculture & Water Resources, Financial Inclusion & Skill Development, and Basic Infrastructure. As of June 2021, the number of districts selected from Uttar Pradesh remained eight, which are frequently monitored through the "Champions of Change" dashboard for their performance in delta rankings.
