Subject: Govt Schemes
Concept:
- The scheme was launched by the Prime Minister of India on the birth anniversary of Jai Prakash Narayan.
- Under the Yojana, Members of Parliament (MPs) are responsible for developing the socio-economic and physical infrastructure of three villages each by 2019, and a total of eight villages each by 2024.
- From 2019 to 2024, five more Adarsh Grams must be developed by each MP, one each year. This implies that a total of 6,433 Adarsh Grams, of the 2,65,000 gram panchayats, will be created by 2024.

- Gram Panchayat: The basic unit for development.
- Lok Sabha MP: chooses a Gram Panchayat from within his/her constituency.
- Rajya Sabha MP: chooses Gram Panchayat from the rural area of a district of his/her choice in the State from which he/she is elected.
- Nominated MPs: choose a Gram Panchayat from the rural area of any district in the country.
Action Taken
- The MPs engages with the community, facilitate the Village Development Plan and mobilise the necessary resources particularly from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and philanthropies.
- The planning process in each village is a participatory exercise coordinated by the District Collector.
- MPs also fill up critical gaps in the plan using the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADs) funds.
