- Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana will work through the leadership of Parliamentarians.
- By 2016, one village will be developed by the MPs, and then by 2019, two more villages will be taken up. If states also encouraged their legislators to take up the scheme - five to six more villages could be added in this timeframe.
- Gram Panchayat would be the basic unit for development. It will have a population of 3000-5000 in plain areas and 1000-3000 in hilly, tribal and difficult areas.
- In districts where this unit size is not available, Gram Panchayats approximating the desirable population size may be chosen. If each MP adopts three villages, the scheme will be able to develop 2,379 'gram panchayats' over the next five years.
- The MP would be free to identify a suitable gram panchayat for being developed as Adarsh Gram, other than his/her own village or that of his/her spouse.
