All  these  measures encourage people in rural areas to earn their livelihood and raise their quality of life near their places of residence and hence, act as a deterrent to migration of rural population to urban areas.

Physical and Financial progress of the major welfare schemes of Ministry of Rural Development in  raising  the  socio-economic  condition  of  rural  people  since  2017-18  are  at Annexure-1 and Annexure-II respectively .
