The pilot Scheme of PMAGY was launched in March, 2010 for integrated development of 1000 Scheduled Castes (SC) majority villages. At present the scheme is being implemented in five States namely Assam (100 villages), Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu (225 villages each). The Scheme aims at the integrated development of selected villages primarily, through (i) convergent implementation of the existing Central and State Schemes, and (ii) through `Gap-filling` central assistance @ Rs. 20 lakh per village on an average (with the States expected to provide a matching contribution), for meeting such requirements of the selected villages as can not be met through (i) above. The above States have reported the finalization of Village Development Plans (VDPs) in respect of the selected villages and consequential action which shows varying degree of progress.
As per guidelines of PMAGY Scheme, two agencies i.e. (i) State Level Steering-cum-Monitoring Committee and (ii) State level Advisory Committee have been mandated to monitor the progress of the scheme. The implementation of the scheme has also been reviewed by the officials of the Ministry from time to time and States have been conveyed the desirable corrective measures.
