Once approved, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) is prepared for the block which provides, among other things, the details regarding the potential number of enterprises to be formed over the 4- year project period. 

As on 31st January 2019, AAPs have been approved for 153 blocks across 23 States. DPRs have been approved in 108 blocks in 19 states. As per the approved DPRs, 1.76 lakh enterprises are targeted for formation over a 4-year project period. As on 31st January, 2019 a total of 33,616 enterprises has been set up.
