A  brief  of  the  converging schemes  namely  Seekho  aur  Kamao,  USTTAD,  and  Nai  Roshni  and  the  number  of beneficiaries benefited under them in the State of Rajasthan during the last five (05) years is as under:

| Schemes          |   No. of beneficiaries (2019-20 to 2023-24) |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| Seekho aur Kamao |                                        3865 |
| Nai Roshni       |                                        1325 |
| Naya Savera      |                                         800 |
