What is Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihood Mission

The Swarnjayanti Gram SwarozgarYojana (SGSY) was a flagship programme of the Ministry of Rural Development. It was started in 1999 and  was restructured in FY 2010-11 for implementation as the National Rural Livelihood Mission. The SGSY or NRLM Scheme aimed at providing sustainable income to rural BPL households through income generating assets/economic activities in order to bring them out of poverty.

Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India (GoI) constituted a Committee on Credit Related Issues under SGSY (under the Chairmanship of Prof. Radhakrishna) to examine various aspects of the scheme implementation. The Committee recommended adoption of a “Livelihoods Approach” to rural poverty elimination. The approach encompassed the following four inter-related tasks:-

• Mobilizing poor households into functionally effective SHGs and their federations
• Enhancing access to bank credit and financial, technical and marketing services
• Building capacities and skills for gainful and sustainable livelihoods development
• Converging various schemes for efficient delivery of social and economic support services to poor households

The government accepted the recommendation of the Committee and restructured SGSY into National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) in FY 2010-11 to provide a sharper and greater focus as well as momentum for poverty reduction. The decision also aimed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by 2015. The Framework for Implementation for N.R.L.M was approved by the Ministry on 9th December, 2010 and the Mission was formally launched on 3rd June, 2011.

Mission of National Rural Livelihood Scheme (NRLM)

To reduce poverty by enabling the poor households to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities, resulting in appreciable improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable basis, through building strong grassroots institutions of the poor.” National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) implementation is in a Mission Mode which enables the following:-

1. Shift from the present allocation based strategy to a demand driven strategy enabling the states to formulate their own livelihoods-based poverty reduction action plans.
2. Focus on targets, outcomes and time bound delivery
3. Continuous capacity building, imparting requisite skills and creating linkages with livelihoods opportunities for the poor, including those emerging in the organized sector, and
4. Monitoring against targets of poverty outcomes.

As NRLM follows a demand driven strategy, the States have the flexibility to develop their livelihoods-based perspective plans and annual action plans for poverty reduction. The overall plans would be within the allocation for the state based on inter-se poverty ratios.

Implementation of DAY NRLM Scheme

National Rural Livelihood Mission is a highly process oriented programme and requires intensive application of resources, both financial and human, in order to mobilize the poor into functionally effective institutions, promote their financial inclusion and diversify and strengthen their livelihoods. It is, therefore, not feasible to roll out the programme in full scale across the country in one go, and therefore, it has been decided to phase the implementation of the programme over period of 10 years.

The blocks and districts in which all components of N.R.L.M are implemented are treated as ‘intensive’ blocks and districts, whereas the remaining as ‘non-intensive’ blocks and districts.

Implementation of National Rural Livelihood Mission at Block Level

Implementation in the blocks is being done in four ways –

 a) Resource Blocks* with the support from National Resource Organization(s) (NRO) [5-6% blocks in a state];

b) Intensive Blocks** implemented with SRLM staff and internal community resource persons and the CRPs generated in resource blocks;

c) Partnership Blocks*** with the support from local community federations and NGO partners; and

d) Non-intensive Blocks**** are the remaining blocks in the state which are not taken up for implementation in the initial phase.

This mission will enable poor candidates living in rural areas to have access to formal sources of finance. Moreover, SHGs will now have access to bank credit and other financial services.
