Why Din Dayal Antyodaya Yojana (DAY)?
- To provide Skill training to poors in cities and villages. Unemployment gone, poverty gone.
- By 2020, developed nations will have shortage of ~57 million workers. Foreign companies will have to outsource work elsewhere.
- Modi wants them to “Make in India”. BUT companies want four things first:
- Ease of doing business- file clearance without suitcase-raj.
- Stable taxation policy.
- Industrial location factors that we saw under Geography.
- Cheap but skilled labour force. (India will have ~47 million new workers by 2020).
- Every year, 12 million Indians join workforce but out of them only 10% are skilled. In EU (70%), China (50%)
- Therefore, success of Make in India, will depend on success of Din Dayal Antyodaya Yojana.

Deen Dayal ties up with NSDC
- HUPA signed MoU with NSDC-National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC)
- NSDC will training to poor, according to market needs, via its training centres.
- NSDC will also help in identification of beneficiaries besides certification of training programmes through Sector Skill Councils (SSCs).
- Sector Skill Councils SSCs: They are industry led bodies. They define Standards and Syllabus for different training program in given industrial sector.
- NSDC will identify beneficiaries and design their training program with help of above SSCs.
- Thus, NSDC-HUPA tie up will help in speedy and result oriented implementation of Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana.
NRLM and NULM
NRLM | NRUM |
---|---|
Original name Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY). | Swarnajayanti Sahari Swarojgar Yojana |
Later renamed to National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) | National urban livelihoods mission |
Finally renamed to Aajeevika. | May be the IAS in HUPA ministry doesn’t want to harass UPSC aspirants, therefore did not device a fancy name parallel to Aajeevika. |
Rural Development ministry | Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation (HUPA) Ministry |
|
|
I think sooner or later, Modi will shut down or subsume these two old schemes into the new Din Dayal scheme.
Economic Survey observation:
- Aajeevika Scheme worked fine for agarbatti, pottery, tailoring and other small business activities.
- But at some places, Government made too much infrastructure investment compared to scope of the given business activity.
Aajeevika: Budget 2014
- Under Aajiveeka, Women-SHG in backward districts get loans at cheaper interest rate.
- Budget 2014 increased the number of backward districts under this scheme.
Loan interest rate | Before 2014 | after |
---|---|---|
4% | In 150 most backward district | +100 more added = 250 |
7% | Remaining districts | interest rate unchanged (7%) |
More districts to get Cheaper SHG-loans. Additionally, Budget 2014 also announced “Start Up Village Entrepreneurship Programme” for rural youth.
100 days of HRD ministry under Modi Government

Mock Questions
CSAT MCQs: interchanging facts between Din Dayal vs Ajeevika vs NRUM to design trap statements. For example:
- Din Dayal Antyodaya scheme is meant for subsidized grains to widows and destitute.
- DDUAY falls under Skill Development ministry.
- Under its rural component, Government aims to train 5 lakh persons per year.
- DDUAY will subsume UDAAN scheme for J&K youth.
And so on…Then you’ll be asked to idenify Which of the above statements are correct? Only 1 and 2; only 2 and 3; and so on.
Mains:
- “Success of Make in India, will depend on success of Din Dayal Antyodaya Yojana.” Elaborate. 200 words.
- Write a note on the salient features of DDUAY Yojana / NRUM / NRLM / those fifty dozen new schemes of HRD under 100 days. (Although I doubt whether UPSC will ask such cheap and easy questions in mains. Except ofcourse under a double-bluff backbreaking moveTM.)
