The Twenty Point Programme (TPP) initiated in the year 1975 was restructured in the years 1982, 1986 and 2006. The thrust of the Programme restructured in 2006 is to eradicate poverty and improve the quality of life of the poor and the under-privileged people all over the country. The Programme covers various socio-economic aspects like poverty, employment, education, housing, agriculture, drinking water, afforestation and environment protection, energy to rural areas, welfare of weaker sections of the society, etc.
The restructured Programme is called Twenty Point Progamme (TTP)-2006.
It originally contained 20 Points and 66 items monitored individually by different Central Nodal Ministries concerned. One of the 66 items viz. “Sampoorna Grameen Rojgar Yojana (SGRY)” has since been subsumed into another item namely “National Rural Employment Guarantee Act” with effect from 1st April 2008 and has been renamed as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Generation Act w.e.f.31st December 2009
