Key features
A Member of Parliament must identify a village, other than his or her own
village or that of the spouse, and turn it into a 'model village' by 2016 and two
more villages by 2019. After 2019, the MP will be selected and developed five
such Adarsh Grams by 2024 (one per year).
MPs must identify villages from nearby rural areas not their urban
constituencies.
The scheme will put special focus on empowering the poor household to come
out of poverty by developing a plan for every identified gram panchayat.
The yojna aims at turning villages into model villages not only by infrastructure
development but also by gender equality, dignity of women, social justice,
community service, cleanliness, eco-friendliness, peace and harmony.
The Deputy Commissioner will coordinate the planning process of the Gram
Panchayat which will be a participatory exercise.

STRATEGY
Converging resources from Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored
Schemes and also other state schemes to the extent possible.
PLANNING
A Village Development Plan would be prepared for every identified Gram
Panchayat with special focus on enabling every poor household to come out of poverty. Before
the formal plan formulation starts, there has to be systematic environment creation and social
mobilisation which will be spearheaded by the MP himself/herself. The Gram Panchayat should
also be fully involved. Some of the activities which could be considered are:
a.
Interaction (charcha) with the Gram Sabha, Mahila Sabha, Bal Sabha
b.
Interaction (charcha) with occupational groups and local organisations, including
youth clubs
c.
Organisation of cultural and sports events
d.
Wall writings, Shivirs, Padayatras, Nukkad naataks etc
e.
Painting and Literary Competitions on how the village could be made a model one.
f.
Demonstration of videos of best practices in village development
These activities would result in a broad collective vision of what the village should
be like and kindle the enthusiasm of the villagers. There after a two stage participatory planning
process is suggested in which the MP plays a lead facilitatory role , along with the Gram
Panchayat and the District Collector gives the necessary professional and coordination support.
In the first stage, activities which could be implemented by the people themselves through
behavioural and social changes self-help and mutual help, shramdaan, local contributions, and
local resources need to be identified. These could include the following:
a.
Having the community, including all elected representatives and government
functionaries, take a collective pledge that the community will work towards its
economic upliftment in a time bound manner so that no family in the village will
languish below poverty line.

b.
Collectively reading out and reaffirming the fundamental rights and fundamental
duties of the Indian Constitution.

TIMELINES
Along with the finalisation of the Plan,timelines need to be indicated for different
activities including the soft interventions at the personal and social levels. While
activity-specific timelines would vary according to the local situation, certain broad
timelines have been suggested in the guidelines.

Government of India
At the national level, the nodal ministry for implementing this scheme will
be the Ministry of Rural Development. For overseeing the implementation, there
will be two national level committees. One, will be headed by the Minister for
Rural Development with the participation of the Ministers in charge of Planning,
Programme Implementation and other key ministries as may be decided. The
second committee will be headed by the Secretary of Rural Development with
representatives from the following ministries/departments not below the rank of
Joint Secretary:
Panchayati Raj
Planning
Land Resources
School Education
Power

State level
Given the number of state schemes which will be drawn into the fold
of this scheme and the variation in implementation structures for different
centrally sponsored programmes across states, there has to be an Empowered
Committee headed by the Chief Secretary consisting of the relevant Departments
and including experts as required, with at least two civil society representatives.
The Secretary of the Rural Development Department of the State will be the
member-convenor. Two full time resource persons on contract may be deployed
to support the work of this state level committee.
This committee will meet at least once a quarter and perform the
following tasks:
Supplement the central SAGY guidelines and issue state specific instructions
which take into account different state schemes. These must lay out the
roles and responsibilities of functionaries at the GP, block, district and state
level.
Develop a time table for exposure visits to the model villages and design a
state level plan for dissemination of best practices
Design a grievance redressal mechanism for the scheme which will be put
in place at the level of the Charge Officer and the district in accordance
with scheme guidelines This Committee may interact with MPs, if necessary
in small groups, to identify problems and sort them out.

District level
The District Collector will be the nodal officer for implementing SAGY. The
District collector will conduct a monthly review meeting with representatives of
the participating line departments. The Member(s) of Parliament concerned will
chair the review meetings. The heads of the GPs concerned will also be invited for
these monthly meetings.
The District Collector will appoint a competent Charge Officer of sufficient
seniority, for every Gram Panchayat who will coordinate the implementation at
the local level and will be fully responsible and accountable for the
implementation. The District Collector will also actively involve Prime Ministers
Rural Development Fellows (PMRDFs) and identified professionals of the District
Mission Management Units, of NRLM in the scheme, wherever they are there.
The District Collector will be responsible for:
CAPACITY BUILDING
Implementation of this programme requires highly motivated and
knowledgeable personnel. Also the Gram Panchayats concerned have to be
suitably capacitated.
The Ministry of Rural Development would put in place a specially designed
capacity building programme to be operationalised by the National Institute of
Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRD & PR), Hyderabad through the SIRDs
at the State level.
