Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0

Context: NITI Aayog CEO Shri B.V.R Subrahmanyam launched ‘Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0’—a 3-month intensive campaign to achieve 100% saturation of critical development indicators in India’s most underserved regions.

About Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0:

What it is?

• Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0 is a mission-mode, time-bound campaign designed to accelerate progress in 112 Aspirational Districts and 513 Aspirational Blocks. It builds upon the historic success of the first phase launched in 2024, focusing on saturating (reaching 100% coverage) specific social sector goals.

Campaign Timeline:

• Start Date: January 28, 2026
• End Date: April 14, 2026 (Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti)
• Duration: 3 Months

Aim & Objectives:

• Achieving full coverage of essential government services in health, nutrition, and education.
• Driving performance through monthly tracking and healthy competition among districts and blocks.
• Ensuring that the benefits of schemes like ICDS and TB Mukt Bharat reach the most remote households.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The campaign focuses on a specific set of metrics divided between the District and Block levels:

6 KPIs for Aspirational Blocks

1. Supplementary Nutrition: Regular intake by children (6 months to 6 years) under ICDS.
2. Measurement Efficiency: Real-time tracking of children’s growth at Anganwadi Centres.
3. Anganwadi Sanitation: Percentage of centers with functional toilets.
4. Clean Drinking Water: Availability of drinking water in operational Anganwadis.
5. Girls’ Education: Schools with adequate and functional girls’ toilet facilities.
6. Animal Welfare: Percentage of bovine animals vaccinated against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD).

Implementation Strategy & Significance

Strategy for Success

• 3-Month Action Plan: Each district and block must develop a tailored roadmap to hit saturation targets by April.
• Concurrent Monitoring: District-level officers are mandated to conduct frequent field visits for data validation.
• Behavior Change: Intensive awareness campaigns (Nukkad Nataks, Gram Sabhas) to encourage community participation.
• Collaboration: A unified approach involving Central Ministries, State Governments, and NITI Aayog.

Significance:

• Grassroots Transformation: Moves the needle from mere scheme implementation to tangible outcome saturation.
• Data-Driven Governance: Uses real-time monthly tracking to identify and fix implementation bottlenecks.
• Inclusive Growth: Directly targets the bottom of the pyramid in the country’s 513 most backward blocks.
