ARUNACHAL STATE RURAL 

​LIVELIHOODS MISSION

GOVERNMENT OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH

Arunachal Pradesh State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ArSRLM) is the Nodal Agency for implementing the NRLM / Aajeevika schemes  in the state. NRLM implementation is in a Mission Mode. This enables

         (a) Shift from the present allocation based strategy to a demand driven strategy enabling the states to formulate their own livelihoods-                      based poverty reduction action plans,

         (b) Focus on targets, outcomes and time bound delivery,

         (c) Continuous capacity building, imparting requisite skills and creating linkages with livelihoods opportunities for the poor, including those                emerging in the organized sector, and

         (d) Monitoring against targets of poverty outcomes.


As NRLM follows a demand driven strategy, ArSRLM has the flexibility to develop its livelihoods-based perspective plans and annual action plans for poverty reduction. The overall plans would be within the allocation for the state based on inter-se poverty ratios.


​NRLM MISSION

"To reduce poverty by enabling the poor households to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities, resulting in appreciable improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable basis, through building strong grassroots institutions of the poor."

NRLM GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Poor have a strong desire to come out of poverty, and they have innate capabilities
Social mobilization and building strong institutions of the poor is critical for unleashing the innate capabilities of the poor.
An external dedicated and sensitive support structure is required to induce the social mobilization, institution building and empowerment process.
Facilitating knowledge dissemination, skill building, access to credit, access to marketing, and access to other livelihoods services underpins this upward mobility.

NRLM VALUES

The core values which guide all the activities under NRLM are as follows:

Inclusion of the poorest, and meaningful role to the poorest in all the processes
Transparency and accountability of all processes and institutions
Ownership and key role of the poor and their institutions in all stages – planning, implementation, and, monitoring
Community self-reliance and self-dependence
