Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana including critisms (Hindi: सांसद आदर्श ग्राम योजना , abbr.: SAGY) is a rural development 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.[1] The programme was launched by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan, on 11 October 2014.[2]
The plan
Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana was initiated to bring the member of parliament of all the political parties under the same umbrella while taking the responsibility of developing physical and institutional infrastructure in villages and turn them into model villages.[3] Under this scheme, each member of parliament needs to choose one village each from the constituency that they represent, fix parameters and make it a model village by 2016. Thereafter, they can take on two or three more villages and do the same by the time the next general elections come along in 2019, and thereafter, set themselves ten-year-long village or rural improvement projects.[1] Villages will be offered smart schools, universal access to basic health facilities and Pucca housing to homeless villagers.[4]
Adopting Villages
- Under the scheme, Narendra Modi has adopted Jayapur village from his constituency Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.[5]
- Sonia Gandhi adopted Udwa village in her constituency Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh.[6]
- Rahul Gandhi adopted Deeh village in his constituency Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.[6]
- V. K. Singh adopted Mirpur Hindu in his constituency Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.[7]
- Ahmed Patel adopted Vandari village in Rajpipada, Gujarat.[8]
- Sachin Tendulkar adopted Puttamraju vari Kandriga(P.R.Kandriga) a village near Gudur in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.[9]
Criticism
- (1) Problem of convergence of various schemes --
Guidelines of Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana could not define the structure to converge the central sector schemes , centrally sponsored schemes , central plan assistance and the state govt. schemes . [11] Overlapping of various schemes is a major problem e.g. funds are taken from MPLAD fund , MLALAD fund , MGNREGA etc. to construct the same road .Hence convergence should be able to eliminate overlapping of various schemes . So, convergence should be structurally defined .
- (2)Anti-bottom-up approach –
Adoption of villages by MPs lead to the snatching of power from the villagers which is against the philosophy of Gram Sabha .
