RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY ALLEVIATION Rural development and poverty alleviation have been the major areas

of concern and thrust for the nation since independence. The Community Development

Programme consisting of various sets of schemes was launched on 2nd October, 1952

throughout the country with the objective of overall development of rural areas with the

active participation of the community. Development Blocks were created and considered

pivotal for planning and implementation of various rural development schemes.

Upto the year 1999 self-employment schemes such as IRDP,

TRYSEM, DWCRA, SITRA, MWS and GKY were being implemented, but w.e.f. 1.4.99

these schemes were merged into SGSY. Similarly, JGSY and EAS which were in

operation were merged into SGRY w.e.f.1.4.2002.

“Swaranjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana” (SGSY) has been

launched during the year 1999-2000. This yojana lays emphasis on cluster approach

instead of individual beneficiary approach which would enable the beneficiaries to start with

viable projects in a joint manner which can bring, higher incomes. This approach will also

improve the skills of the poor through an in-built training component, up-gradation of

technology, providing adequate backward and forward linkages, availability of adequate

infrastructure and better marketing arrangements.

In order to create additional gainful wage employment to the weaker

sections of the society, employment generation programme Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY) has been launched during the year 2002-2003. The scheme focuses on

the creation of the rural infrastructure for more sustained wage employment and rural

development, besides, ensuring food security to the weaker sections of the society.

Besides, DPAP/DDP/IWDP, Indira Awas Yojana, Total Sanitation

Campaign Projects, National Social Assistance Programme are the other centrally

sponsored schemes being implemented in the State.
