Solution : The correct answer is (c) To promote self-employment and wage employment opportunities for rural poor

The National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), also known as Aajeevika, is a flagship program launched by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. The mission aims to reduce poverty and improve the livelihoods of rural households, particularly those belonging to marginalized communities and below the poverty line.

NRLM focuses on empowering rural households by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities. It promotes the formation of self-help groups (SHGs) and provides them with financial support, capacity building, and access to financial services. These SHGs act as platforms for social mobilization, empowerment, and collective action.

The mission also facilitates the establishment of livelihood institutions and promotes skill development, entrepreneurship, and market linkages. It emphasizes building sustainable livelihoods through activities such as agriculture and allied sectors, rural non-farm activities, microenterprises, and wage employment.

Therefore, the primary objective of the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) is to promote self-employment and wage employment opportunities for the rural poor.
