About Pradhan Mantri Adi Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAAGY)
Run by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Pradhan Mantri Adi Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAAGY) works to turn villages with a large Scheduled Tribe population into model villages by funding infrastructure gaps and broader socio-economic development for tribal communities. It targets villages where at least 50% of the population is ST, and helps them draft and carry out Village Development Plans. Money under the scheme goes toward critical infrastructure gaps that other schemes don’t already cover, and villages are encouraged to converge with other Central and State schemes for all-round development.
