- (i)    Project  'UNNATI',  launched  in  December  2019  by  Government  of  India,  is  a skilling  project  that  intends  to  upgrade  the  skill  base  of  the  Mahatma  Gandhi National Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS) workers,  and  thereby  improve  their  livelihoods  so  that  they  can  move  from  the current partial employment to full employment.
