The state-wise details are at Annexure -I. The Rashtriya Gramin  Arthik  Parivartan  Pariyojana  (National  Rural  Economic  Transformation  Project)    has approved by the Government on 24 th April 2019 with loan assistance from the World Bank under DAY-NRLM..
- (b): DAY-NRLM provides Revolving Funds (RF) at the rate of Rs. 10,000-15,000 per SHG and  Community  Investment  Support  Fund  (CISF)  to  the  extent  of  Rs.  2,50,000  per  SHG  to support their income generating and livelihoods activities. Till May, 2019 capitalisation support to the tune of Rs. 7,041.40 crores have been provided to SHGs and their Federations.

Apart from this DAY-NRLM also facilitates credit mobilisation for SHGs in the form of bank loans. Since 2013-14 the SHGs have accessed bank credit of Rs. 2.25 lakh crore. The mission also provides for interest subvention on such loans upto Rs. 3.00 lakhs per SHG. Cumulatively, Rs. 3,300 crores has been provided as interest subvention.

In  order  to  understand  the  changes  at  the  household  level  DAY-NRLM  commissioned  an independent assessment by Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) in January - March, 2017. The report has brought out the following findings:

- (i) The programme has helped to enhance the productive assets of the target groups.
- (ii) It  has  also  developed  saving  habit  amongst  the  beneficiaries  and  increased  their capacity to avail higher loans.
- (iii)The household income of the target group has shown a 22% increase due to income from enterprises.

In  addition,  the  programme  has  significantly  contributed  to  development  of  social  capital  and empowerment of women from economically weaker sections in the rural areas.
