The Target Group of Nai Roshni Scheme
- The target group includes Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Zoroastrian (Parsi), and Jain women who have been notified under Section 2(c) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.
- However, the programme allows a mix of women from non-minority populations to make up no more than 25% of a project proposal in order to strengthen the mosaic of diversity in society and foster solidarity and togetherness through their own efforts to improve their lot.
- The organisation should make an effort to recruit women from SCs, STs, and OBCs in a representative mix. This 25% category also includes people from other cultures and women who have impairments.
Nai Roshni Scheme
In 2012, the Ministry of Minority Affairs unveiled the “Nai Roshni” scheme. The scheme’s goal is to give minority women leadership experience. These ladies are given information on how to use the resources and methods for using government programmes, government systems, banks, etc.
