Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP)

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

ADP targets socio-economic development in underprivileged districts, measuring progress across health, education, agriculture, skill development, and infrastructure. A data-driven approach fosters healthy competition among districts, with real-time dashboards. Exam emphasis is on governance innovations, how local administrators adopt best practices, and whether bridging these development gaps fosters inclusive growth. Another angle: synergy with states’ own resources and private CSR efforts, ensuring sustainability of improvements.
