Objectives
The primary objective of the Aspirational Districts Programme is to achieve rapid and
inclusive growth. The programme identifies 49 key performance indicators (KPIs) across five
core areas of development, including Health and Nutrition, Education, Agriculture and Water
Resources, Financial Inclusion and Skill Development, and Basic Infrastructure.
Education 30%
Challenges
1. Inadequate infrastructure: Many of the aspirational districts lack basic infrastructure
such as roads, electricity, and water supply. This makes it difficult to attract
investment and create jobs, which is essential for the development of the district.
2. Limited resources: The programme aims to bring about transformation in 115
districts, which requires a significant amount of resources. However, the funds
allocated for the programme are limited, which makes it difficult to achieve the
desired outcomes.
3. Low levels of human development: Many of the aspirational districts have low
levels of human development, such as low literacy rates, poor health indicators, and
high levels of poverty. These factors hinder the development of the district and make
it difficult to attract investment and create jobs.
4. Poor implementation: The success of the programme depends on the effective
implementation of various schemes and programmes by the district administration.
However, poor implementation of these schemes and programmes is a major
challenge in many of the aspirational districts.
5. Lack of participation: The participation of local communities is essential for the
success of the programme. However, many of the aspirational districts lack a culture
of participation, which makes it difficult to involve the local communities in the
development process.
6. Complex challenges: The challenges faced by the aspirational districts are complex
and interrelated. For example, poor health indicators can lead to low productivity,
which in turn can lead to poverty. Addressing these challenges requires a
coordinated and holistic approach.

Objectives
1. Foster the growth of electric mobility: The mission aims to accelerate the adoption
of electric vehicles (EVs) in India by promoting the manufacturing of EVs and their
components. This will help reduce India's dependence on imported oil and cut down
on harmful emissions.
2. Develop charging infrastructure: The NMTMBS also seeks to establish a robust
charging infrastructure for EVs across the country. This includes setting up charging
stations on highways, in urban areas, and at public places such as parking lots and
malls.
3. Promote local manufacturing: The mission aims to boost the local manufacturing
of electric vehicles and their components, such as batteries and charging equipment.
This will not only reduce India's dependence on imports but also create job
opportunities and boost the economy.
4. Support research and development: The NMTMBS seeks to support research and
development in the areas of electric mobility and battery storage. This includes
developing new technologies, improving existing ones, and finding ways to make
EVs more affordable and accessible to the general public.
5. Ensure energy security: By promoting the use of electric vehicles and renewable
energy sources such as solar and wind power, the mission aims to ensure energy
security for the country. This will help India reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and
create a more sustainable future.
Components
1. Electric Vehicle Promotion: The mission aims to promote the use of electric
vehicles in the country by creating a favorable policy environment and providing
incentives for the adoption of EVs. This includes setting up charging infrastructure
and encouraging the manufacturing of EVs and their components in India.
2. Battery Manufacturing: To ensure a steady supply of batteries for EVs, the mission
includes a focus on battery manufacturing in India. This involves setting up
manufacturing units and research and development centers for battery technology.
