Under the scheme, selected villages are turned into model villages, called Adarsh Gram, with better roads, water, electricity, schools, health services and income options. The list of these villages can be downloaded in PDF format from the official website at pmagy.gov.in.

PMAGY Highlights

Here are the main points of the scheme in a quick table for easy reading.

Eligibility for PMAGY

Villages are chosen on the basis of their Scheduled Caste population. As per the current selection rules, a village with a total population of at least 500 people and a Scheduled Caste population of more than 40% is eligible for selection. Villages are picked in descending order of their SC population.

Benefits of PMAGY

The scheme focuses on creating model villages and meeting basic needs in areas like water, sanitation, health, education, roads and income options. An amount of about ₹21 lakh per newly selected village is provided by the central government, which is used as per the gaps found in the Village Development Plan (VDP) approved by the District Level Convergence Committee.
