Adarsh Gram

An Adarsh Gram is a model village that aims to provide basic services to every resident and reduce social disparities — one village per Taluka, selected from wherever the response to EDP training has been strongest. Each Adarsh Gram gets its own Village Development Plan, built around its own resources and needs, with no new government funds allocated — instead drawing on local industry setups, business revenue, and CSR investment.
