About PMJVK

• Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme which aims to address development gaps in identified Minority Concentration Areas by building socio-economic infrastructure and providing essential amenities.

• Originally launched as the Multi-sectoral Development Programme (MsDP), the scheme was restructured as PMJVK in 2018 and implemented in 1300 identified blocks, towns, and district headquarters across the country.
• In 2022-23, the scheme was revised to expand its implementation to all districts across the country, with the condition that projects under PMJVK can be proposed in areas where the minority population is 25% or more in the catchment area of 15 KM radius.
• The Ministry of Minority Affairs monitors the status of implementation of projects sanctioned under PMJVK.

Under PMJVK, 80% of the resources would be utilized for projects related to education, health and skill development of which at least 33-40% will be earmarked for creation of assets/facilities for women/girls.
