Vibrant Villages Programme

The Vibrant Villages Programme (VVP) is implemented across India's international land borders in two phases—VVP-I and VVP-II—with a combined outlay of Rs 11,639 crore. VVP-I is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme focused on the northern border across 4 States and 1 UT, while VVP-II is a Central Sector Scheme approved on April 2, 2025, and launched on February 20, 2026, extending the model to all other land borders across 15 States and 2 UTs. The programme aims to develop comprehensive infrastructure, enhance connectivity, electricity, telecommunications, healthcare, education, and livelihood opportunities in border settlements, addressing out-migration and treating these areas as the nation's first villages to support national security and development.
