Jalore is one of the most backward districts of the country. The socio-economic indicators for the district clearly indicate its economic and social backwardness. With subsistence agriculture being the primary economic activity, the district has faced several constraints to development. Jalore Area Development Program (JADP) is an innovative programme that has been conceived to address the developmental challenge of the Jalore district on a comprehensive, integrated and self-sustaining basis.

The outcome of the proposed programme will be a significant increase in per capita incomes, drought proofing with a demonstrable capability to sustain the economic and social development of the district on a long term basis.

The programme seeks to extend the Public Private Partnership approach to district levels, so as to bring together benefits of private sector efficiencies in terms of costs, delivery and timelines and States commitment of providing infrastructure facilities with an overall objective of public welfare.
