BASED ON UNDP REPORT | DEC 2020

PUNJAB ASPIRATIONAL DISTRICTS PROGRAMME AN APPRAISAL

The Aspirational Districts Program (ADP) was

launched by the Honourable Prime Minister, Sh.

Narendra Modi in 2018, with the objective of

expediting the transformation of 112 most

backward districts across 28 states through the

convergence of government programmes and 1schemes . It is a major policy initiative, anchored

by NITI Aayog, for rapid transformation of

d i s t r i c ts that a re lagging on spec ific

development parameter. NITI Aayog works in

co l l abora t ion w i th cen t ra l and s ta te

governments for the programme to streamline

the effectiveness and provide regular checks

and guidelines.

This appraisal of the Aspirational Districts

Programme (ADP) is aimed to assess the

effectiveness of the flagship Programme of the

Government of India and to generate evidence-

based documentation which can be used to

support NITI Aayog and other stakeholders in

their efforts to address existing gaps, evidence-

based planning and decision making. It is also

expected to provide guidance for district

administrations, development partners,

knowledge partners and any other stakeholders

in achieving the vision and targets set out for the

INTRODUCTION

THE APPRAISAL of ADP

The appraisal of ADP is based on quantitative

analysis of publicly available data as well as

interviews with various stakeholders, including

district magistrates, central prabhari officers,

district fellows and other development partners.

All the 5 sectors of the ADP - health and

nutrition, education, agriculture and water

resources, basic infrastructure and skill

development and financial inclusion were

analysed covering 60 data points from

Champions of Change Dashboard since March

2018 till March 2020 for ranking of districts.

While health and nutrition, education, and to a

certain extent, agriculture and water resources

have excel led and registered massive

improvements, focus must be shifted to other

sectors such as basic infrastructure and skill

development and financial inclusion as there is

much scope for further strengthening. Greater

support is required in remote areas, especially

for infrastructure projects.

Overall analysis of ADP reflects increase in

average resilience from 2018 to 2020 and

decline in average vulnerability from 2018 to

2020 which thus shows increase in average net

resil ience, from 2018 to 2020. Overall ,

aspirational districts have moved up the

development ladder.

MOGA and FEROZPUR Districts of Punjab are

amongst 112 d is t r i c ts covered under

aspirational districts programme. While MOGA

stands at 59, FEROZPUR stands at 73 out of total

111 districts analyzed based on change in net

resilience since March 2018 to March 2020.

From the data points of 60 indicators of

Champions of Change Dashboard, it is evident

that MOGA has outshined FEROZPUR. Though

in Health and Nutrition and Education, both the

districts have performed well, however, as

compared to other districts such as Ranchi of

Jharkhand, there is need to focus on all other

sectors.

1 While 117 districts were selected initially, West Bengal never joined the programme. Therefore, there are 112 districts now. Baramula and

Kupwara, although now part of UT (Kashmir) are still aspirational districts.

Further, the appraisal of Aspirational Districts

Programme was also done through Difference in

Difference Analysis (DiD) to tease out the actual

impact of policies and programmes on

Aspirational Districts Programme. It was used on

two sectors viz, Health & Nutrition (H&N) and

Financial Inclusion (FI), covering data from the

Heath Management Information System (HMIS)

and DFS (Department of Financial Services,

Government of India) data is used for the FI

indicators.
