Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) Launched in January 2018, the ‘Transformation of Aspirational Districts’ initiative aims to remove this heterogeneity through a mass movement to quickly and effectively transform these districts.
The broad contours of the program are Convergence (of Central & State Schemes), Collaboration (of Central, State level ‘Prabhari’ Officers & District Collectors), and Competition among districts driven by a spirit of mass Movement.
With States as the main drivers, this program will focus on the strength of each district, identify low-hanging fruits for immediate improvement, measure progress, and rank districts.
Issues with the programme Using the case of Bihar, they argue that the programmes selection of districts itself is problematic.
In fact, it actually excludes the most backward districts because per capita income, the most basic measure of development, has not been considered.
There seems to be some ambiguity around the issue of whether the programme is concerned only with improved access or also with the quality of service provided.
The indicators used are not defined relationally, rather they are static human development indicators that do not see people mired in dynamic social relations.
It is also accused that the state is not making any new or focused public investment (except for possible use of Flexi-funds) into these districts, on the other hand, it is moralizing about their inability to improve (through rankings).
The programme is carrying the burden of proving the government’s “developmental” work without addressing any of the fundamental issues around achieving equitable development.
Yet, the NITI Aayog justifies the overall approach as capitalizing on “low-hanging fruit.”
