Correct Answer: National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM)


Solution : The correct answer is (d) National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM)

The National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) is a flagship program launched by the Government of India to alleviate poverty and provide social security to rural households. It focuses on empowering rural communities, especially women, by providing them with sustainable livelihood opportunities and enhancing their access to financial services, skills development, and social protection.

NRLM works towards creating self-employment and wage employment opportunities for rural poor households through the promotion of micro-enterprises, skill development, and capacity building. It also aims to strengthen grassroots institutions, such as self-help groups (SHGs) and village-level federations, to enable community-led development and social inclusion.

The program provides a range of interventions and support services, including financial assistance, access to credit, market linkages, technical training, and social mobilization, to help rural households improve their incomes and overall well-being. It also focuses on promoting social security measures, such as life and health insurance, pension schemes, and access to social safety nets, to ensure the social protection of vulnerable and marginalized sections of the rural population.
