Malkangiri: Odisha’s Malkangiri has topped NITI Aayog’s list of ‘Most Improved Aspirational Districts in Agriculture & Water Resources Sector’ for the month of December 2021.
Malkangiri is followed by Chhatarpur in Madhya Pradesh, Baramulla in J&K, Ramgarh in Jharkhand and Begusarai in Bihar, in NITI Aayog’s Delta Rankings for December 2021.
According to NITI Aayog’s website, “launched by PM Narendra Modi in January 2018, the Aspirational Districts programme aims to quickly and effectively transform 112 most under-developed districts across the country. The broad contours of the programme are ‘Convergence’ (of Central & state schemes), ‘Collaboration’ (of Central, state level ‘Prabhari’ officers & District Collectors), and ‘Competition’ among districts through monthly Delta ranking; all driven by a mass movement”.
The ranking is based on the incremental progress made across 49 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) under five broad socio-economic themes — Health & Nutrition, Education, Agriculture & Water Resources, Financial Inclusion & Skill Development and Infrastructure, it says.
