NITI Aayog is launching Sampoornata Abhiyan, a three-month campaign from Wednesday till 30th September to undertake a sustained effort to achieve saturation of six key indicators in Aspirational Districts and Aspirational Blocks across the country. It seeks to achieve saturation in each of the six identified indicators in the 112 Aspirational Districts and 500 Aspirational Blocks under the Aspirational Districts Programme and Aspirational Blocks Programme.
Sampoornata Abhiyan will focus on the six identified Key Performance Indicators KPIs across all Aspirational Blocks. These are percentage of pregnant women registered for Antenatal Care within the first trimester, percentage of persons screened for Diabetes against the targeted population in the Block, percentage of persons screened for Hypertension against the targeted population in the Block, percentage of pregnant women taking Supplementary Nutrition under the ICDS Programme regularly, percentage of Soil Health Cards generated against the soil sample
collection target and percentage of Self Help Groups SHGs that have received a Revolving Fund against the total SHGs in the block.
The six identified KPIs across Aspirational Districts under Sampoornata Abhiyan are percentage of pregnant women registered for Antenatal Care within the first trimester, percentage of pregnant women taking Supplementary Nutrition under the ICDS Programme regularly, percentage of children fully immunized, number of Soil Health Cards distributed, percentage of schools with functional electricity at the secondary level and percentage of schools providing textbooks to children within one month of the start of the academic session.
Districts or Blocks will develop a three-month Action Plan to saturate the six indicators, districts or blocks will track progress on saturation each month, implement awareness and behavior change campaigns and district officials will conduct concurrent monitoring field visits.
