The other four districts in ranking orders are Bhadradri-Telangana, Visakhapatnam-Andhra Pradesh, Lohardaga-Jharkhand, Baksa-Assam and Nuapada-Odisha.
The Odisha Government reacted to a Tweet by the Chief Minister’s office, which said, the government’s thrust on building inclusive and sustainable infrastructure in the state has led to Nuapada district earning the Niti Aayog’s commendation as one of the top-performing aspirational districts in providing basic infrastructure.
The aspirational district programme was launched in January 2018 for improving the socio-economic status of 112 identified districts in the country.
