### Answer by okien loina

Mission Antyodaya, a convergence and accountability framework adopted in the Union Budget 2017–18, aims to bring the best use and management of resources allotted by 27 Ministries/Departments of the Government of India under various programs for the development of rural areas. It is intended to be a state-led initiative, with Gram Panchayats serving as the hub of coordination. An essential component of the Mission Antyodaya framework is the annual survey conducted in Gram Panchayats all across the nation. It is conducted concurrently with the Ministry of Panchayat Raj's People's Plan Campaign (PPC), and its goal is to support the participatory planning process for the Gram Panchayat Development Plan.
