The Union Budget 2022-23 has announced the new Vibrant Villages Programme to develop villages on India's northern border, covering states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Arunachal Pradesh. The program aims to enhance infrastructure, including construction of village infrastructure, housing, tourist centers, road connectivity, and provisioning of decentralized renewable energy. Additional funding will be provided, and existing schemes will be converged and monitored. The program seeks to address the challenges faced by border villages, including difficult terrain, weak transport networks, and suboptimal socioeconomic indicators, and to prevent migration from these areas, which is crucial for national security. The Border Management fund has seen a 42% increase to Rs 2,517.02 crore, and the government will take a holistic approach to supply electricity, water, and other essential services to these villages.
