(a): With a view to ensure overall development of rural areas of the country,  including  all  the  districts  of  Odisha,  the  Ministry  of  Rural Development (MoRD) is implementing a number of schemes/programmes  such  as  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS), Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana-Gramin (PMAYG), Pradhan Mantri Gram SadakYojana (PMGSY), DeendayalAntyodayaYojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM), DeenDayalUpadhyayaGrameenKaushalyaYojana (DDUGKY), Rural Self Employment Training Institutes(RSETIs), National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) and Watershed Development Component  (WDC)  of  the  Pradhan  MantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana (WDC-PMKSY). The number of beneficiaries under these schemes/programmes,  district-wise,  wherever  maintained,  are  at Annexure-I.

- (b): This  Ministry  is  implementingDAY-NRLM  to  promote  rural livelihoods  and  economically  empower  women  Self-Help  Groups (SHGs) in country including Odisha. The interventions of both farm and non-farm livelihoods sectors, are aiming to enhance productivity, sustainability, and financial independence among rural women. Under Farm livelihoods component, MahilaKisans are being supported  for  promotion  of  Agro  Ecological  Practices  (AEP).  The SHGs/SHG members are also being supported through value chain initiatives for better return on SHG produce. Women farmers receive training  in  agro-ecological  practices  to  reduce  costs  and  improve productivity. In the non-farm sector, this Ministry is also implementing Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP), a sub-scheme under the DAY-NRLM, with the objective to help the SHG  households  to  set-up  enterprises  at  the  village  level  in  nonagricultural  sectors.  SVEP  has  a  provision  for  support  through Community Enterprise Fund for the beneficiary households, to partly meet the cost of setting up the enterprise and, the rest is expected to be contributed by the beneficiary from her own savings or Bank credit.

Further, SHGs and their federations are empowered economically  by  providing  them  funding  support  in  the  form  of Revolving Fund (RF) and Community Investment Fund (CIF). District-

This helps them in creating a corpus, from which the SHG members can  avail  loans  for  various  purposes  including  for  promotion  of livelihoods.   In  addition,  the  SHGs  are  also  facilitated  for  Bank linkage  for  accessing  credit  at  subsidized  rates  of  interest.  The Ministry also facilitates the marketing of SHG products through its own online platform, i.e., www.esaras.in and through other online eCommerce platforms. Some States have also developed their own eCommerce platforms to support marketing of products of SHGs. The SHG  members  are  also  being  trained  to  upload  their  products  on online  platforms. In  addition,  exhibition  and  marketing  of  SHG products  are  also carried  out  through  SARAS  AajeevikaMela  at National and State levels.
