Explain Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana.

Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) is a rural development initiative launched by the Government of India in October 2014. The scheme aims to transform rural areas into model villages, known as Adarsh Grams, by leveraging the resources and efforts of Members of Parliament (MPs) and other stakeholders. Under the scheme, each MP adopts one village in their constituency and works towards its holistic development across various sectors such as health, education, sanitation, infrastructure, and livelihoods. The key objectives of SAGY include improving the quality of life, enhancing social inclusion, and promoting sustainable development in rural communities. MPs are expected to facilitate the planning, implementation, and monitoring of development projects in their adopted villages in collaboration with local governments, community organizations, and other stakeholders. SAGY emphasizes participatory approaches, community engagement, and convergence with existing rural development schemes to ensure the effective implementation and sustainability of development interventions in Adarsh Grams.
