Rural infrastructure covered
The annexed guidelines explain that the earlier programme included cement concrete roads, street lights, pond rejuvenation, rural libraries, burial grounds, cremation sheds and community or school sports centres. The relaunched programme is intended to meet new and previously unaddressed village infrastructure needs.
Fund allocation is intended to consider both population and the number of habitations. The guidelines explain that equal allocations can create disparities because Village Panchayats differ substantially in population and number of habitations.
