BADP
The main objective of BADP is to meet the special developmental needs and well-being of the people living in remote and inaccessible areas situated near the International Boundary (IB) and to provide the border areas with essential infrastructure by convergence of BADS/other Central/State/UT/Local Schemes and through a participatory approach especially in six thematic areas – Basic Infrastructure, Health Infrastructure, Education, Agriculture & Water Resources, Financial Inclusion and Skill Development. In border areas, the provision of essential infrastructure facilities and opportunities for sustainable living would help integrate these areas with the hinterland, create a positive perception of care by the country and encourage people to stay on in the border areas, leading to safe and secure borders.
The programme covers all the census villages/ towns, semi-urban and urban areas located within 0-10 Km distance (aerial distance) from the first habitation from International Boundary (IB).Within this 0-10 km area, census villages, semi-urban and urban areas identified by BGFs as ‘strategic villages/towns’ shall be given highest priority. Once 0-10 km area is saturated, the programme may cover 10-20/30/40/50 km area.
