Rural development programmes
Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.
Flagship schemes drive rural development through distinct design architectures: MGNREGA (wage employment guarantee), PMGSY (rural road connectivity), PMAY-Gramin (rural housing), RURBAN Mission (cluster development), and SVAMITVA (drone-based property rights mapping). Skilling is delivered through Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs), which operate via a three-way partnership among MoRD, NABARD, and commercial banks, integrating bank-led credit linkage, government funding, and post-training handholding. Outcomes are measured against poverty alleviation, rural infrastructure targets, and SDG goals, with programme design — targeting, fund-flow, grievance redress, and convergence — as the critical variable.
