Recently, the NITI Aayog announced that it is launching the “Sampoornata Abhiyan,” a 3-month campaign from 4th July – 30th September 2024, to undertake a sustained effort to achieve saturation of six key indicators in Aspirational Districts and six key indicators in Aspirational Blocks across the country.
The ‘Sampoornata Abhiyan’ shall strive to achieve saturation in each of the six identified indicators in the 112 Aspirational Districts and 500 Aspirational Blocks under the Aspirational Districts Programme and Aspirational Blocks Programme.

- Percentage of persons screened for Hypertension against the targeted population in the block;
- Percentage of pregnant women taking Supplementary Nutrition under the ICDS Programme regularly;
- Percentage of Soil Health Cards generated against the soil sample collection target;

The six identified KPIs across Aspirational Districts under ‘Sampoornata Abhiyan’ are:
- Percentage of pregnant women registered for Antenatal Care (ANC) within the first trimester;
- Percentage of pregnant women taking Supplementary Nutrition under the ICDS Programme regularly;
- Percentage of children fully immunized (9-11 months) (BCG+DPT3+OPV3+Measles 1);

The think tank of the Union Government is providing a list of activities that districts and blocks can organize as part of the ‘Sampoornata Abhiyan’ launch. Additionally, blocks and districts are being encouraged to regularly conduct outreach activities to maintain the campaign’s momentum and foster ongoing participation.
NITI Aayog, in collaboration with the relevant Central Ministries and Departments, as well as the Governments of States and Union Territories, will work together to ensure the effective and rapid development of these Districts and Blocks. This collaboration will focus on improved planning and implementation, capacity building, and establishing systems for enhanced and sustainable service delivery.
