The Ministry of Rural Development will launch a new sub-scheme under Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM).
It will be named as “Aajeevika Grameen Express Yojana (AGEY)”.
The main objectives of AGEY are to provide an alternative source of livelihoods to members of Self Help Groups (SHGs) under DAY-NRLM.
This is facilitating them to operate public transport services in backward rural areas.
The Government is implementing DAY-NRLM across the country in all States and Union Territories (except Delhi and Chandigarh).
Under DAY-NRLM, till date, 34.4 lakh women SHGs have been promoted under the programme.
