National Rural Livelihood Mission

The National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) is a government initiative in India aimed at reducing rural poverty by promoting sustainable livelihoods. It works by organizing rural poor into self-managed groups, mainly women, providing them with skills training, financial support, and access to credit. The goal is to empower communities to create their own income-generating activities, improve their economic security, and enhance overall well-being. NRLM also encourages local-level institutions to support development efforts, fostering inclusive growth and reducing disparities in rural areas.
