आपण सर्वच सरकारच्या धोरणांवर टीका करतो. मला ते करायला आवडते. पण मी विचार केला की भारतातील काही सर्वात यशस्वी धोरणांवर विचार का करू नये. म्हणूनच मी या आठवड्यात अशा तीन पॉलिसी घेऊन येईन आणि दर काही आठवड्यांनी असे आणखी एपिसोड आणण्याचा प्रयत्न करेन.

पहिल्या भागात आपण ‘अंगणवाडी’ कार्यक्रमावर चर्चा केली.

दुसऱ्या भागात आपण 'राष्ट्रीय सामाजिक सहाय्य कार्यक्रम' बद्दल चर्चा केली.

ह्या एपिसोडमध्ये, आपण स्वयं-सहायता गट (SHGs) आणि ग्रामीण भारतातील आजीविका सुधारलेल्या धोरणावर चर्चा करू - राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण उपजीविका अभियान (NRLM) किंवा ज्याला आजीविका / दीनदयाळ अंत्योदय योजना असेही म्हणतात.

We all criticise government policies. I like to do it. But I thought why not reflect on some of the most successful policies in India. That’s why I will come up with three such policies this week and will try to bring more such episodes every few weeks.

In the first part we discussed ‘Anganwadi’ programme.

In the second part we discussed 'National Social Assistance Program'.

In this episode, we will discuss on Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and policy that has improved and upgraded livelihoods in rural India, and will continue to do so in the future - National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) or also known as Ajeevika / Deendayal Antyoday Yojana.

In the first part we discussed 'Anganwadi' programme. 

In this part, we will discuss on welfare schemes for below-poverty line (BPL) families in the events of death, disability and old age. These schemes are provided through one of the most successful government programs - National Social Assistance Programme.
