Village Poverty Reduction Plans (VPRP) and their integration with the Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDP), further emphasis will be placed on planning during 2021-22. It will take additional training programs and handholding for tribal NHGs, ADSs, and CDSs to come up with their plans and for getting VPRP integrated with GPDP.
