Non-Farm Livelihood Interventions
Non-farm livelihood interventions focus on strengthening the livelihood options of rural poor by enabling and empowering them to set up and run enterprises in the non-farm activities.
Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP)
SVEP is a structured, focused, and time-bound non-farm livelihood intervention sub-scheme implemented by DAY-NRLM to create a sustainable model for promoting women entrepreneurship in the rural areas. The programme builds upon the existing ecosystem of self-help groups developed under DAY-NRLM.
SVEP helps women set up enterprises by addressing gaps in three key areas- business knowledge, finance, and incubation support.
