National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM)

The National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) was registered as a society on October 27, 2011, under the Rajasthan Society Registration Act of 1958. The Chief Minister serves as the president of the society, while the Chief Secretary is the chairperson of the empowered committee. The State Mission Director (Livelihoods and Self-Help Groups) acts as the member secretary of the society. All rural livelihood programs in the state will now be implemented under the aegis of the Rajasthan Grameen Aajeevika Vikas Parishad (Rajeevika). The mission aims to conceptualize effective poverty alleviation schemes and fund them through the state government, central government, and other financing agencies. It seeks to bring effective convergence between government and non-government initiatives for rural development. The mission facilitates the formation and strengthening of self-help groups, producer organizations, community development organizations, and federations of self-help groups. It promotes small and micro enterprises in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors to enhance the income of the poor. The main objective of this council, affiliated with the Rural Development Department, is to implement projects and programs related to poverty alleviation and livelihood enhancement of impoverished families in rural areas effectively. The council is working to create a sustainable and effective three-tier community organization structure to empower and make women from economically weaker sections self-reliant. Through this institutional structure, access to economic resources for rural women is being facilitated, improving livelihood opportunities and developing their social and technical skills to enhance their income-generating efforts.
