The programme aims at
improving infrastructure in border villages and creating sustainable livelihood

communities are being prioritised.

The scheme is valued at
more than ₹6,800 crore and will remain effective up to the financial year
2028-29.
¨
It will be implemented
across 15 States and 2 Union Territories through a saturation-based and
convergence-driven approach.

Through the strengthening
of villages, residents are expected to act as the eyes and ears of the nation,
thereby supporting border security.

The initiative is also
intended to help prevent cross-border crimes and enhance the country’s internal
security framework.
