Speaking at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Modi said the Aspirational Blocks Programme will be based on the success of the Aspirational Districts Programme, which has changed lives of more than 23 crore Indians in 112 districts. He said the Aspirational Districts Programme showed that even challenging goals can be achieved if we focus on basics of good governance.
“Very few people get the chance to run a government for as long as I have. And I say from experience that it is not only that the budget brings change, if we ensure optimum utilisation of resources and convergence, then work can be done without any fresh funds coming in for the blocks,” Modi said.
‘Sankalp Saptah’ programme, from October 3 to 9, covers 500 aspirational blocks across 329 districts in the country with a focus on improving governance at the block level in order to enhance the quality of life of citizens.
‘Sankalp Saptaah’ focuses on different development themes on each of the seven days. These include ‘Sampoorna Swasthya’, ‘Suposhit Pariwaar’, ‘Swachhta’, ‘Krishi’, ‘Shiksha’ and ‘Samridhi Diwas’ on the first six days followed by a celebration of the work conducted during the entire week called ‘Sankalp Saptaah – Samavesh Samaroh’ on the final day.
