About the Aspirational Districts and Blocks Programme
The Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP), covering 112 districts, was launched in the year 2018 to ensure the speedy development of the underserved and remote areas of the country. ADP has had a measurable, tangible impact on key indicators that improve the lives of its citizens. Building on the success of the Aspirational Districts Programme, the Aspirational Blocks Programme (ABP) was launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in 2023 and aims for the saturation of essential government services in 500 Blocks, which in 2025 was extended to 513 Blocks across the country in multiple domains such as Health & Nutrition, Education, Agriculture & Water Resources, Financial Inclusion and Social Development.
