Mera Gaon Meri Dharohar Scheme Progress Report
The Mera Gaon Meri Dharohar (MGMD) Scheme has identified approximately 6.5 lakh villages in India, with data for around 4.7 lakh villages uploaded on the MGMD portal. In Tamil Nadu, 14,251 out of 19,219 villages have been mapped. The program focuses on documenting the unique cultural and heritage practices of each village, including local traditions and arts. A crowdsourcing option allows villagers to contribute to the documentation process. However, no economic or skill development benefits have been provided to the villagers under this initiative. The government aims to promote cultural tourism and awareness but lacks specific initiatives for Tamil Nadu villages.
