The PM will introduce “Sankalp Saptaah” on September 30

On September 30th, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch a week-long project dubbed ‘Sankalp Saptaah’ aimed at strengthening governance at the grassroots level within Aspirational Blocks

On September 30, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will kick off a week-long initiative called ‘Sankalp Saptaah’. This bold plan is inextricably linked to the successful implementation of the Prime Minister’s Aspirational Blocks Programme (ABP), a statewide programme introduced earlier this year. The primary purpose of this effort is to improve government at the block level, hence increasing inhabitants’ quality of life.

ABP stands for Aspirational Blocks Programme.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Aspirational Blocks Programme (ABP) on January 7, 2023. It represents a comprehensive strategy to bringing about positive change and development at the grassroots level. The 500 Aspirational Blocks spread throughout 329 districts in India are the focus of the ABP. By improving public service delivery and governance in these sectors, its main goal is to raise citizens’ living standards.

The Foundation of Chintan Shivirs

Chintan shivirs were organised at both the village and block levels across the country to efficiently implement the Aspirational Blocks Programme. These shivirs were critical in developing comprehensive block development strategies and gaining vital input from local stakeholders. The ‘Sankalp Saptaah’ initiative is the result of these brainstorming sessions’ ideas and techniques.

‘Sankalp Saptaah’ Themes

‘Sankalp Saptaah’ is set to be a watershed point in the Aspirational Blocks Programme’s path. From October 3 to October 9, 2023, it will be observed across all 500 Aspirational Blocks. A distinct development theme will be the emphasis of each day of this week-long event, encouraging concentrated efforts on important areas for improvement. The following are the topics for the first six days:

Sampoorna Swasthya (Total Health): A day intended to enhance medical services and encourage all-around wellness in these neighbourhoods.

Focusing on ensuring that families have access to wholesome food, Suposhit Pariwaar (Nutritious Families) aims to improve the general health of the neighbourhood.

Swachhta (Cleanliness): A focused campaign to encourage cleanliness and good hygiene habits in these blocks, fostering a healthier environment.

Krishi (Agriculture): Emphasising agricultural development to improve rural communities’ standard of living.

Shiksha (Education): Improving access to high-quality education and educational opportunities.

Samridhi Diwas, also known as “Prosperity Day,” is a day set aside to promote economic growth and prosperity in Aspirational Blocks.
