Scheme aimed at transforming the 35 worst LWE affected districts

Approximately Rs. 30 crore per district per year for three years
Funds sanctioned by District Committee
Guidelines issued by MHA
C H A L L E N G E S R E M A I N
Significant decline in LWE violence, shrinking geographical spread, however challenges remain
Strong correlation between between incidence of extremism and poor socio-economic indicators
MHA has well established mechanisms for monitoring & decision making
Need for major developmental push to root out left wing extremism
