The programme is implemented in 358 identified border blocks of 96 districts of 17 States (including Uttar Pradesh), which constitutes international land border with neighboring countries. The developmental activities under BADP relate to social infrastructure, link roads, employment generation, education, health, agriculture and allied sectors. The funds are provided to the States as a 100% non-lapsable Central grant for supplementing the State efforts. While Government of India lays down the broad guidelines, the scheme/projects are finalized and executed by the State Governments.
