National Rural Livelihood Mission

Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India (GoI) constituted a Committee under SGSY (under the Chairmanship of Prof. Radhakrishna) on credit related issues, 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 9 December 2010 and the mission was formally launched on 3 June 2011.
