The National Rural Livelihood Mission is a centrally sponsored poverty alleviation scheme designed to reduce rural poverty by mobilizing poor households into self-managed Self-Help Groups and providing them with sustained access to formal credit and diversified livelihood opportunities.
In GS Paper II and GS Paper III, UPSC evaluates the mission through the themes of inclusive growth, governance, and the role of Self-Help Groups in socio-economic empowerment. Questions typically require candidates to analyze the efficacy of the SHG-bank linkage model, identify structural bottlenecks in transitioning from micro-credit to viable micro-enterprises, and evaluate how social capital drives rural development. Candidates are expected to discuss institutional capacity, credit absorption constraints, and measures needed to diversify rural livelihoods beyond agriculture.
