The campaign will be instrumental in taking the benefits of growth to the village level realizing the mantra of ‘Sauno Sath, Sauno Vikas' (Cooperation from all, growth for all) and will serve as a new model for the taluka development.

The campaign will be held during July 28 to September 8, covering all 225 talukas of the state, while a pilot campaign will be held initially on July 22 and 23.
