The delta rankings were compiled taking into account the incremental development made by over 112 aspirational districts across six developmental areas in June 2021.
The development areas that were taken into consideration for the ranking include health and nutrition, education, agriculture and water resources, financial inclusion, skill development and basic infrastructure.
In January 2018, the Aspirational Districts Programme was launched to transform districts that have shown comparatively lesser growth in key social areas.
