DAY NRLM

The Ministry of Rural Development has reviewed marketing and livelihood initiatives under DAY-NRLM, including proposed 700 SHE-MARTs and 1,000 District Fulfilment Centres to support 6 Crore Lakhpati Didis.

Budget 2026–27 increases DAY-NRLM funding by ₹2,880 crore — a 20% rise aimed at women’s livelihoods. Big intent. Real impact depends on execution.

A new national campaign aims to scale rural women entrepreneurship through training, enterprise support, and non-farm livelihoods. Here is what the policy really means.
