| Summary: | Overview of implementation experience
and progress: the first phase of the National Rural
Livelihoods Project (NRLP), which aimed to reach 4.8 million
rural women, was implemented across 13 states, 162 districts
and 580 blocks of the country. NRLP was meant to support the
launch and expansion of the Government of India’s flagship
program for poverty alleviation, the Deendayal Antyodaya
Yojana National Rural Livelihood Mission (DAY-NRLM) and
provide additional pro-poor investments in 13 states with
the highest poverty rates which accounted for almost 85
percent of the poor in India. This program marked a
strategic shift within the Ministry of Rural Development
(MoRD) from a focus on allocation, disbursement, and
monitoring of central government financial resources, to the
provision of skilled technical assistance to states under
the aegis of the DAY-NRLM. |
