An amount of Rs.20.38 lakh per village (Rs 7276 cr for 36,428 villages) was earmarked under the scheme by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs and the States were required to make Village development plan with convergence of Central STC (Schedule tribe component) and State TSP (Tribal Sub Plan) funds available with sectoral Central Govt Ministries and State Govt. In the VDP, the aim is to address gaps with regard to basic amenities identified through Antodaya Mission, in each selected village like Road connectivity, Telecom connectivity (Mobile /internet), School, Anganwadi Centres, Health Sub- Centre, Drinking water and elecltricity. As on date 17,656 VDPs have been approved and total funds released till date amounts to Rs.2357.50 Cr.

The total no. of identified villages under Barwani district of Madhya Pradesh are 493. The details of number of villages identified under the scheme, State-wise, is as per (Annexure I) and State of Chhattisgarh district-wise is as per (Annexure II).
