The 'Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana' was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the goal of opening doors for good politics. He had invited all Members of Parliament to select a village to develop on a demand-driven, rather than a supply-driven model, with people's participation.
The MPs were free to pick up any village in their constituency, except their own village or their in-laws village.
