- National Rural Livelihoods Project (NRLP) has been designed as a sub-set of NRLM to create ‘proof of concept’, build capacities of the Centre and States and create an enabling environment to facilitate all States and Union Territories to transit to the NRLM.
- NRLP would be implemented in 13 high poverty states accounting for about 90 percent of the rural poor in the country.
- Intensive livelihood investments would be made by the NRLP in 107 districts and 422 blocks of 13 states (Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu).
- Distribution of project funds among the states would be based on inter-se poverty ratios.
