<h1>NITI Aayog Launches Baseline Ranking for Aspirational Districts to Boost Development Across Five Key Areas.</h1> NITI Aayog has launched the baseline ranking for Aspirational Districts using 49 indicators across five key developmental areas: Health and Nutrition, Education, Agriculture and Water Resources, Financial Inclusion and Skill Development, and Basic Infrastructure. The 'Champions of Change' Dashboard will be available from April 1 for real-time data monitoring, allowing District Collectors to input data. The program aims to foster competition among districts to improve human development indicators through cooperative federalism. From May 2018, districts will be ranked on incremental progress. The initiative encourages districts to learn from each other and aims for inclusive growth and improved living standards.
