Introduction
India’s average population growth rate till 2016 stands at 1.19 % and the gap of unemployment,
poverty alleviation, income inequality and skill enhancement always remain a concern for Govt.
of India. Prior to MDGs/SDGs, India is involved in enhancing the livelihood opportunities both in
rural & urban areas.
The sixth economic census report had been released. The census was carried out in 2013–14 on
enterprises and employment in the country (except those engaged in crop production). The

highlights of the census are as follows: 58.5 million establishments were found to be in operation,
34.8 million establishments (59.48%) were found in rural areas, and nearly 23.7 million
establishments (40.52%) were found to be located in urban areas. About 77.6% establishments
(45.36 million) were engaged in nonagricultural activities and 22.4% establishments (13.13
million) were engaged in agricultural activities (excluding crop production and plantation). Over
an 8-year period between Fifth Economic Census and Sixth Economic Census, the total number
of establishments in the country increased by 41.8% (from 41.25 million in 2005 to 58.5 millio n

Alleviation of poverty has remained a major challenge before the Government. High poverty levels
are synonymous with poor quality of life, deprivation of basic needs, poor health, malnutrition,
illiteracy and low human resource development. Acceleration of economic growth, with a focus
on sectors which are employment-intensive, facilitates the removal of poverty in the long run. The
specifically designed anti-poverty programs for generation of both self-employment and wage-
employment in rural & urban areas have been continuously redesigned and restructured in order
to enhance their efficacy/impact on the poor and improve their sustainability. The list of scheme
projects under various ministry have been listed down. Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises (MoMSME), Ministry of Labor and Employment, Ministry of Finance (MoF),
Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA), Ministry of Rural Development
(MoRD), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MoSD&E), Ministry of Tourism
