About DAY 

The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India, launched the Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) on April 1, 2013, as a restructured version of the Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojna (SGSY). The Mission seeks to establish efficient and effective rural poor institutional platforms that will enable them to increase household income through sustainable livelihood enhancements and improved access to financial services. The programme was renamed Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana on March 29, 2016.

• NRLM has set a goal of covering 7 million rural poor households across 600 districts, 6000 blocks, 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats, and 6 lakh villages in the country through self-managed Self Help Groups (SHGs) and federated institutions over an 8-10 year period.
• Furthermore, the poor would benefit from increased access to their rights, entitlements, and public services, risk diversification, and improved social indicators of empowerment. NRLM believes in leveraging the poor's inherent capabilities and supplementing them with capacities (information, knowledge, skills, tools, finance, and collectivization) to participate in the country's growing economy.

DAY-NRLM Mission 

Reduce poverty by enabling poor households to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities, resulting in significant improvements in their livelihoods on a long-term basis, by establishing strong grassroots institutions for the poor.

DAY-NRLM Guiding Principles

• The poor have a strong desire to escape poverty and innate abilities.
• Social mobilization and the establishment of strong poor institutions are critical for releasing the innate capabilities of the poor.
• To initiate the process of social mobilization, institution building, and empowerment, an external dedicated and sensitive support structure is required.
• This upward mobility is supported by facilitating knowledge dissemination, skill development, credit access, marketing access, and access to other livelihood services.

The following are the core values that guide all NRLM activities:

• Inclusion of the poorest and meaningful participation of the poorest in all processes
• All processes and institutions must be transparent and accountable.

• Community self-sufficiency and self-reliance.
