The six anti-poverty programmes as suggested by the Govt. of India are as follows: 1. Integrated Rural Development Programme 2. Jawahar Rozgar Yojana/Jawahar Gram Samriddhi Yojana 3. Employment Assurance Scheme

1. Integrated Rural Development Programme:

The Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP), which was introduced in 1978-79 and universalized from 2nd October, 1980, aimed at providing assistance to the rural poor in the form of subsidy and bank credit for productive employment opportunities through successive plan periods.

In order to take care of the specific needs of the rural popula­tion, sub-programmes of IRDP such as Training for Rural Youth for Self-Employment (TRYSEM), Development of Women and Children in Rural Areas (DWCRA), Supply of Improved Toolkits to Rural Artisans (SITRA), and Ganga Kalyan Yojana (GKY) were introduced. These schemes were, however, implemented as ‘stand-alone programmes’, an approach, which substantially detracted from their effectiveness.


On 1st April, 1999, the IRDP and allied programmes were merged into a single programme known as Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY). The SGSY emphasizes on organizing the rural poor into self-help groups, capacity-building, planning of activity clusters, infra­structure support, technology, credit and marketing linkages.

2. Jawahar Rozgar Yojana/Jawahar Gram Samriddhi Yojana:

Under the Wage Employment Programmes, the National Rural Employment Programme (NREP) and Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Programme (RLEGP) were started in sixth and seventh plans. The NREP and RLEGP were merged in April 1989, under Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY). The JRY was meant to generate meaningful employment opportunities for the unemployed and underemployed in rural areas through the crea­tion of economic infrastructure and community and social assets.

Employment genera­tion progressively declined over the years, partly, due to lower central allocations in Ninth Plan and partly due to the increasing cost of creating employment. The JRY was revamped from 1st April, 1999, as Jawahar Gram Samriddhi Yojana (JGSY). It now became a programme for the creation of rural economic infrastructure with employ­ment generation as the secondary objective.

3. Employment Assurance Scheme:

The Employment Assurance Scheme (EAS) was launched on 2nd October, 1993, cover­ing 1,778 drought-prone, desert, tribal and hill area blocks. It was later extended to all the blocks in 1997-98. The EAS was designed to provide employment in the form of manual work in the lean of agricultural season. The works taken up under the pro­gramme were expected to lead to the creation of durable economic and social infrastruc­ture and address the needs of people.
