The programme is currently being implemented in 12 most interior tribal blocks to improve the quality of life and develop infrastructure there. The initiative focuses on the strength of each block and identifies the attainable outcomes for immediate improvement while measuring the progress and ranking of the selected blocks.
The rural development department is the nodal agency for the implementation of the programme. However, other line departments and TTAADC are also participants in the process. The performance reviewed for ranking is based on data points in nine primary sectors namely Health, Education, Agriculture and Horticulture, Fishery, ARDD, Rural Development including panchayat, Drinking Water, Sanitation and Rural Electrification, Social Welfare and Nutrition and Information Technology.
