National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM)

The National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) is an initiative by the Government of India aimed at reducing poverty by promoting sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural households. Launched in 2011, it focuses on empowering the poor through self-help groups, skill development, and access to financial services. The mission encourages a community-driven approach, enabling people to enhance their income and improve their living standards. By fostering entrepreneurship and enhancing skills, NRLM seeks to create self-reliant rural communities, ultimately contributing to the overall economic development of rural areas in India.
