## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a)  &  (b):   The  Ministry has  commissioned several impact evaluation studies to understand the overall impact of the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM). An impact evaluation study of DAY-NRLM was conducted during 2019-20 2020-21 by the  International  Initiative  for  Impact  Evaluation  (3ie)  with  the  support  of  the World  Bank.  The  assessment  covered  9  States  with  around  27,000  respondents  and  5,000 SHGs  across  Bihar,  West  Bengal,  Odisha,  Jharkhand,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra,  Rajasthan  and  Uttar  Pradesh.  The  evaluation  indicates  that  an  additional exposure to the Mission for 2.5 years led to:

- i. Increase in income by 19% over the base amount.
- ii. Decline in share of informal loans by 20%
- iii. Increase in savings  by 28%
- iv. Improved  labour  force  participation  -  proportion  of  females  reporting  secondary occupation is higher (4%) in treatment areas.
- v. Improved access to other Schemes - Significant increase in number of social schemes availed by treatment households (6.5% higher over the base value of 2.8 schemes).

The study provided encouraging evidence to suggest that the program has positive impacts on livestock assets, income and savings etc.

The total number  of households mobilized into Self Help Groups along with the Capitalization  support  provided  and  bank  loan  to  SHGs  in  Haryana  (including  Rohtak district) and Madhya Pradesh (including Chhatarpur district) during the last three Financial Years (From FY 2019-20 to 2021-22 ) is as follows:
