- (a): DeendayalAntyodayaYojana -National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) launched in June 2011, is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Government of India to improve the livelihoods  of  rural  poor  and  organize  these   households  for  their social  and  financial  inclusion.   DAY-NRLM  aims  at  mobilizing  rural poor  households  into  Self  Help  Groups  (SHGs)  and  continuously nurturing and supporting them to take economic activities till they attain  an  appreciable  increase  in  income  over  a  period  of  time  to come  out  of  abject  poverty.  The  present  status  of  DAY-NRLM  is attached at Annexure-I.
- (b): Under DeendayalAntyodayaYojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM), this Ministry implements two Centrally Sponsored Schemes namely DeenDayalUpadhyayaGrameenKaushalyaYojana (DDU-GKY) and Rural  Self  Employment  Training  Institutes  (RSETI)  programmes. These programs facilitate skill development of rural poor youth for their  gainful  employment  with  a  view  to  eradicate  poverty  in  the country.

Objective of DDU-GKY is to provide placement linked skilling for  rural  youth,  who  are  poor  and  provide  them  with  jobs  having regular monthly wages at or above the minimum wages. DDU-GKY is a  placement-linked  skill  development  programme  for  rural  poor youth in the age group of 15-35 years. It empowers the rural poor youth  with  employable  skills  and  facilitates  their  participation  in regular labour markets. DDUGKY guideline provides social inclusion of SC/ST (50%), Women (33%), and PwDs (5%).

RSETI  is  a  bank  led,  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  funded programme  wherein  training  institutions  are  established  by  the sponsoring banks in their districts, to provide training for skill and entrepreneurship development. This Ministry extends financial support  for  the  construction  of  RSETI  building  and  also  bears  the cost of training the 'rural poor' candidates. There is also a provision for training at RSETI to any unemployed youth in the age group of 18-50 year having an aptitude to take up self-employment or wage employment.

In the country, under DDU-GKY a total of 17,50,784 candidates have  been  trained  and  a  total  of  11,48,247  candidates  have  been placed; and under RSETI a total of 56,69,265 candidates have been trained and a total of 40,99,578 candidates have been settled since inception  till  June  2025.  The  State-wise  details  of  candidates 2025 under DDU-GKY & RSETI including Jammu and Kashmir are given  in trained and placed / settled since inception till June Annexure - II & III respectively.

- (c): Under DDU-GKY, projects are implemented in project mode by Project  Implementing  Agencies  (PIAs).  These  PIAs  may  be  any entity, which is:
- i)  a  Government  or  semi-government  organization  at  the  National and State level,
- ii) NGO registered with NITI Aayog,
- iii) registered under Indian Trust Acts or any State Society Registration  Act  or  any  State  Cooperative  Societies  or  Multi-State Cooperative Acts or the Companies Act 2003 or the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008, or Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and its federations namely Cluster Level Federation/Block Level Federation,
- iv) more than three years old entity except Start-ups, etc.

The  names  of  Project  Implementing  Agencies (PIAs)  working in  the  Chhindwara District are at Annexure-IV. Further, Pandhurna district  was  formed  on  October  5,  2023,  following  its  official separation  from  Chhindwara  district.  An  additional  target  was sanctioned  to  PIAs  in  June  2024;  however,  no  new  targets  have been  allocated  since  then.  Therefore,  as  of  now,  no  targets  have been sanctioned specifically for Pandhurna district.

Since  RSETI  is  a  bank  led  scheme, it  does not  have  any partnership  with  private  sector  institutions  or  NGOs, hence  not applicable.
