## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (DR. CHANDRA SEKHAR PEMMASANI)

(a): In all 75 districts, including Sultanpur, various residential and non-residential  training  programs  are  being  conducted  to  promote self-employment by enhancing the skills and capacities of community cadres  under  the  Uttar  Pradesh  State  Rural  Livelihoods  Mission (UPSRLM). Trainings are being organized for cadres such as Samuh Sakhi, Agriculture Livelihood, Lakhpati Didi, Bank Sakhi, BC Sakhi, ICRP-FNHW, FPOs, and Producer Groups to empower them socially and economically.

Under the Annual Action Plan approved by the Ministry of Rural Development, the Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs) are conducting one-month training programs in 64 different models for SHG members based on their needs. These programs focus on skill training,  skill  upgradation,  and  credit  linkage  with  banks.  State

Controllers monitor the training outcomes and facilitate employment for successful trainees. Special emphasis is being placed on priority action and progress review in aspirational development blocks.

(b): Under Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission  (DAY-NRLM),  Sultanpur  district  was  intensively  covered starting from July 2015. As of now, around 88% of the villages have been covered under the mission. Mobilisation of eligible households into self-help groups (SHG) is an ongoing process and is undertaken till saturation is achieved.

(c): Under  UPSRLM,  the  Mission  is  implementing  a  communitydriven, decentralised approach to ensure the benefits of the scheme reach every targeted individual. Key grassroots-level cadres such as Samooh Sakhi and members of the Social Action Committee (SAC) at the Village Organisation (VO) level play a crucial role in supporting SHGs, identifying eligible households, raising awareness, and facilitating access to entitlements.

Regular  monitoring  and  reviews  are  conducted  at  block  and district  levels,  incorporating  feedback  from  field  cadres  to  assess progress and address gaps. Intensive social mobilisation and information  and  communication  (IEC)  activities,  including  villagelevel wall writings with DAY-NRLM slogans, help inform and engage the  communities.  The  Participatory  Identification  of  Poor  (PIP) process  ensures  inclusive  targeting,  with  community  institutions responsible for validating and updating beneficiary lists to ensure no household is left behind.
