Recent Poverty Alleviation and Employment Generation Programmes in India

Poverty reduction has been an important goal of development policy since the inception of planning in India. Various anti-poverty, employment generation and basic services programmes which are being implemented are as following :

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana : PMGSY was launched on December 25, 2000 as a 100 per cent Centrally-sponsored scheme with the primary objective to provide all-weather connectivity to all the eligible unconnected habitations in the rural areas. The programme is funded mainly from the accruals of diesel cess in the Central Road Fund. In addition, support of the multilateral funding agencies and the domestic financial institutions are being obtained to meet the financial requirements of the programme. Up to March 2009, a total length of about 2,14,281.45 kilometres of roadworks has been completed with cumulative expenditure of Rs. 46,807.21 crore.


Indira Awaas Yojana : The objective of IAY is to provide financial assistance for construction/ upgradation of houses to BPL rural households belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, freed bonded labourers, non- SC/ST rural households, widows and physically handicapped persons living in the rural areas. The scheme is funded on a cost-sharing basis of 75:25 between the Centre and the States. However, in the case of NE States, the funding pattern has recently been revised to 90:10. During 2008-09, against the total allocation of Rs. 5,645.77 crore earmarked for release to DRDAs under IAY for construction of 21.27 lakh houses, Rs. 8,795.79 crore including Rs. 3,050 crore given under stimulus package has been released till March 31, 2009 and 21.05 lakh houses had been constructed during 2008-09.


National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme : NREGS, which was launched on February 2, 2006, in 200 most backward districts in the first phase, was expanded to 330 districts in the second phase during 2007-08.
