http://indiabudget.nic.in/ub2014-15/eb/po.pdf
Government restructured the Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) from BE 2014-15 (Plan). Accordingly,
126 CSS have been restructured in 66 schemes which include 17 flagship programmes. In BE 2014-15, funds have been provided under these schemes as Additional Central Assistance to State Plan. A much higher allocation of `3,38,408 crore in State Plan 2014-15 against BE 2013-14 of 1,36,254 crore reflects this change.
Amounts are in rupees crores
RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
http://nrega.nic.in/netnrega/home.aspx
34000 - for providing a legal guarantee of 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural
household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work with focus on asset creation.
8 August 2014
The rural development ministry has identified three projects under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government’s flagship Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission, which envisages strengthening the rural infrastructure. “Already we have received proposals. One is in Buldhana, besides (one each in) Sangli and Warangal,” Union rural development minister Nitin Gadkari told on the sidelines of a national workshop on Rurban Mission. We are taking further suggestions. This workshop is going to give some new models and we are going to add it. We will prepare the cabinet note. We need participation from different parts of the society, charitable trusts, cooperative institutions and medical trust. We want make a socio-economic transformation, he added. He further stated that the projects would be implemented in the first year at an outlay of Rs.100 crore provided in the budget of 2014-15.

Government sets up panel for Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission
The Centre has set up a committee to study in detail the reasons for failure of similar initiatives in the past and recommend ways to ensure that this project succeeds. The 11-member committee, chaired by the additional secretary in the ministry of rural development, is expected to submit its report by middle of November, based on which the structure of the mission will be drafted.
PURA (Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas), has been in place since 2004. However, the scheme never took off and hence study of its failure is important. The committee members will visit the PURA projects at Periyar, Chitrakoot, Warana and Loni, and consult the state authorities. Besides, they will study in detail the success story of Rurban mission in Gujarat as well as individual-based success stories in a handful of districts. The draft scheme, as proposed by the committee, will address the issue of project components, including the eligibility criteria, the planning process, issues related to public-private partnership or PPP, size and number of each project per year, issues of convergence of schemes and the approval as well as fund flow process under the scheme. The ministry will circulate a cabinet note for inter-ministerial consultations based on the report of this committee.

4000 - for reducing poverty by enabling the poor households to access gainful self-employment and
skilled wage employment opportunities.
http://aajeevika.gov.in/
NRLM has set out with an agenda to cover 7 Crore rural poor households, across 600 districts, 6000 blocks, 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats and 6 lakh villages in the country through self-managed Self Help Groups (SHGs) and federated institutions and support them for livelihoods collectives in a period of 8-10 years (from the year 2011).
Introduction of Interest subvention Under Aajeevika - National Rural Livelihood Scheme (NRLM)
NRLM has a provision for interest subvention, to cover the difference between the Lending Rate of the banks and 7%, on all credit from the banks/ financial institutions availed by women SHGs, for a maximum of Rs 3,00,000 per SHG. This will be available across the country in two ways:
In 150 identified districts, banks will lend to all the women SHGs @7% upto an aggregated loan amount of Rs 3,00,000/- . The SHGs will also get additional interest subvention of 3% on prompt payment, reducing the effective rate of interest to 4%.
In the remaining districts also, NRLM compliant women SHGs will be registered with SRLMs. These SHGs are eligible for interest subvention to the extent of difference between the lending rates and 7% for the loan upto Rs. 3 lakhs, subjected to the norms prescribed by the respective SRLMs. This part of the scheme will be operationalized by SRLMs.
http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=8075&Mode=0
2014-15
The central outlay for Aajeevika/National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) is `4,000.00 crore, out of which `335.00 crore has been earmarked for North Eastern Region and Sikkim.
Universal social mobilization through formation of Self Help Groups (SHGs) under Aajeevika will ensure that at least one member of each rural BPL household, preferably a woman member of the household, is brought under the SHG net.
The goal of universal financial inclusion will be furthered through linking the SHGs with banks for securing credit.
The difference between 7% and Prime Lending Rates will be provided to the poor households for every loan accessed from the banks, up to a limit of `1 lakh per household.
Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP) has been initiated as a sub-component of the NRLM to meet the specific needs of women farmers and achieve socio-economic and technical empowerment of the rural women farmers, predominantly small and marginal farmers.
Another Scheme under NRLM is for setting up of Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs), one in each district of the country, for skill development training of the rural BPL youth to enable them to undertake micro enterprises and wage employment.
Under NRLM, 20% of funds are available for placement linked skill development and innovative special projects. The objective of each Special Project for Skill Development would be to ensure a time-bound training and capacity building programme for bringing a specific number of Below Poverty Line families above the poverty line through placement ensuring regular wage employment.
The Ministry of Rural Development is also implementing a new scheme titled, “Skill Empowerment and Employment in J&K ‘Himayat’. It envisages covering one lakh youth from rural & urban areas of J&K in the next five years. 70% of the funds will be utilized for wage employment and remaining 30% for self employment. It is a 100% central assistance scheme.
