The session discusses the impact of the Aspirational Districts Programme since its launch in 2018. The programme was put in place to transform India’s development story by revolutionising the governance structures in its least developed regions. A study by Institute for Competitiveness has found that the programme has already made significant improvements in key development parameters across these regions.”

Michael Porter, Professor, Harvard Business School and Scott Stern, Professor, MIT in their foreword say that “The program focuses on practical and measurable social progress outcomes, including Health and Nutrition, Education, Agriculture and Water Resources, Financial Inclusion, Skill Development, and Basic Infrastructure. Each of these are critical to expanding shared prosperity among all citizens.” The details of the report can be looked at https://www.competitiveness.in/assessment-aspirational-districts-programme/.

This would be a great interaction on how to build a program that impacts the lives of people and creating governance structures to deliver outcomes.
