NITI Aayog Launches Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0

NITI Aayog has also introduced Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0, a countrywide movement to enhance development in the most underdeveloped regions in India. 

This is a three months program, which will be implemented between January 28 and April 14, 2026, and aims at full saturation of critical indicators in Aspirational Districts and Blocks.

Sampoornata Abhiyan 2.0 is based on the achievements of 2024 when active work resulted in rapid positive results in the social areas. 

It includes 112 Aspirational Districts, which were initiated in 2018 and 513 Aspirational Blocks, which were added through the 2023 programme, so that everyone is left behind in health, nutrition, education, sanitation, and animal welfare. 

The campaign was launched by NITI Aayog CEO B.V.R. Subrahmanyam who complimented district leaders as torchbearers in their ownership and exhorting them to make a long-term commitment to being a torchbearer to Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.
