Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY)

Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana is a rural development and cleanliness programme broadly focusing upon the development in the villages which includes social development, cultural development and spread motivation among the people on social mobilization of the village community. The programme was launched by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan, on October 11, 2014.

The vision of our Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is “If we have to build the nation we have to start from the villages" and he believes that "If every MP transforms villages in his/her constituency into model villages, large number of villages in the country would have seen holistic development”. 

PM has requested all Members of Parliament (MP) to develop one model village in their constituency by year 2016 and two more by 2019. Department of Rural Development has formulated guidelines of the scheme. Hon'ble Prime Minister has released the guidelines on 11'th Oct 2014 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.

The goal is to develop three Adarsh Grams by March 2019, of which one would be achieved by 2016. Thereafter, five such Adarsh Grams (one per year) will be selected and developed by 2024.

Under the scheme, 

• Narendra Modi has adopted Jayapur village from his constituency Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.
• Sonia Gandhi adopted Udwa village in her constituency Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh.
• Rahul Gandhi adopted Deeh village in his constituency Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.
• V. K. Singh adopted Mirpur Hindu in his constituency Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
• Ahmed Patel adopted Vandari village in Rajpipada, Gujarat.
• Sachin Tendulkar adopted Puttamraju vari Kandriga(P.R.Kandriga) a village near Gudur in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.
• Harish Dwivedi adopted Amodha Khas village in Basti district, Uttar Pradesh.
