What is Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (Ddu-Gky)
This scheme is a step taken in the national rural livelihood mission (NRLM). The NRLM seeks to make the rural economy self-reliant and resilient to external shocks. The major aims of this scheme are :
- To increase the diversification of occupation and thus generate multiple sources of income for the families living in rural areas. This scheme primarily focuses on poor and below-the-poverty-line ( BPL ) families in rural areas. The increasing urban migration and the decreasing resilience of the rural poor is the main cause of the introduction of this scheme.
- This scheme also seeks to guide the youth of rural India to better employment. This scheme tries to facilitate the reach of diverse career options in rural areas. Alumni meets are one of the key highlights of this scheme. Alumni meets benefit the student by solving their doubts regarding better career options and by providing them with information about eligibility and skills needed for those careers.
The primary beneficiaries of this scheme are rural youth between the age of 15 to 35 years of age. This scheme is an important step taken in ensuring the socio-economic development of the rural poor of India. This is a supportive scheme of the already existing schemes of the union government, for example, Digital India, Make In India, and stand up India. The ministry of rural development under the Government of India sponsor and maintain this scheme. The origin of this scheme can be seen in the Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana ( SGSY) of 2004.
