Smart Village India

Smart Village is a concept adopted by national, state and local governments of India, as an initiative focused on holistic rural development, derived from Mahatma Gandhi's vision of Adarsh Gram[1][2] (Ideal Village) and Swaraj (Self Reliance).[1][3][4][5][6][7] Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) or SAANJHI) on 2 October 2014, Gandhi's birthday, in addition to Smart Cities and Digital India, as a development programme for India.[8][1][6][7][9] The Parliamentarian's Model Village Scheme main goal is for each Member of Parliament and Minister to adopt a rural village and develop it into a model by 2019 under the SAGY guidelines.[7][6] The vision of SAGY is an integrated village development plan, encompassing Personal, Human, Social, and Economic dimensions.[6][10]
