Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana

Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY)
The scheme aims to organise the rural poor into SHGs through the process of social mobilization,train and build capacity and provide for income generating assets. The overall objective of the scheme has been to integrate provisions like skill upgradation, infrastructure including marketing development and technology penetration into a programme providing for poverty alleviation and
sustainable livelihood options. The Eleventh Five Year Plan envisaged that allocations for the scheme be demand-driven. Although, allocation for the scheme increased significantly over the two consecutive years of the beginning of the plan period, the growth in allocations tapered down significantly belying the adoption of a demand-driven model.
