The government is gearing up to assess the efficacy of one its pet programmes, the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) after initial enthusiasm among MPs has turned to apathy with less than 100 MPs adopting a second village under the programme.

Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana:
The SAGY was launched in October 11, 2014, by Prime Minister Modi who himself first adopted village Jayapur and later the village Nagepur in his Lok Sabha constituency of Varanasi.
  • Under the scheme MPs were to be responsible for developing the socio-economic and physical infrastructure of one Adarsh Gram, or model village, by 2016, two more by 2019, and one in each of the following five years.
Programme performance:
  • In the first phase of the programme, 701 of the 795 MPs adopted a gram panchayat each. 
  • In the second phase, which started in April, only 88 MPs have made their selection so far.
Impact Indicator:

Govt is preparing an “impact indicator” scale with 35 indicators has been prepared for the purpose.  Both these are part of 35 impact indicators that will be used to measure the progress of the scheme. 
  • Other parameters include basic amenities, e-governance, women empowerment, livelihood, social security and financial inclusion.
