The UNDP in its report said that the ADP has served as a catalyst for expediting development among aspirational districts.
"Certain sectors such as healthcare and nutrition, education, and to an extent agriculture and water resources have seen some major changes," the UNDP said, adding that this is encouraging as these are crucial areas for assessing development.
In a tweet Modi said, "India's Aspirational Districts Programme aims to ensure inclusive & all-round development in areas across our nation. Under this programme, many districts have witnessed holistic transformation. Glad to see the @UNDP report highlight its salient features.
