Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY) The primary objective of the scheme is to provide additional wage employment in all rural areas and thus, to provide food security and improve nutritional levels. It also aims at the creation of durable community, social and economic assets and infrastructural development in rural areas. The programme is implemented as a centrally sponsored scheme on cost sharing basis between the Centre and the States in the ratio of 75:25 of the cash component of the programme. In the case of Union Territories (UTs), the Centre provides the entire 100% funds under the scheme. Foodgrains are also provided to the States/UTs free of cost. SGRY is open to all rural poor who are in need of wage employment and desire to do manual and unskilled work in and around his village/habitat. The programme is self-targeting in nature. While providing
wage employment, preference is given to agricultural wage earners, non-agricultural
unskilled wage earners, marginal farmers, women, members of Schedule Castes/Schedule
Tribes and parents of child labour withdrawn from hazardous occupations,
parents of handicapped children or adult children of handicapped parents
who are desirous of working for wage employment. |
