The Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission focuses on mobilizing rural poor households into self-help groups to build financial inclusion and sustainable livelihoods through capacity building and skill development. Alternative options describe distinct government initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana or fertilizer subsidy policies rather than rural livelihood enhancement. This scheme is implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development across all states and union territories. Self-help groups under this mission receive revolving funds and community investment support to initiate micro-enterprises.
