Welcome to USRLM
The Government of India established the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) to implement the new strategy of poverty alleviation woven around community based institutions. The Mission’s primary objective is to reduce poverty by promoting diversified and gainful self-employment and wage employment opportunities for sustainable increase in incomes.
The Mission would work in conjunction with the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) of MORD and would primarily focus on creating self-employment and wage/job employment opportunities for the rural poor who would enable them to cross the threshold of poverty and become productive agents. NRLM would provide a combination of financial resource and technical assistance to states such that they could use the comprehensive livelihoods approach encompassing four inter-related tasks viz
