What are the Indian government's schemes launched for poverty alleviation after the United Nation's Declaration of 'Sustainable Development Goals - 2015' ? Briefly describe.
Following the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2015, India strengthened existing schemes and launched new ones to align with SDG 1: No Poverty.
The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) (2014) gained momentum post-2015 by ensuring financial inclusion through universal banking, credit, insurance, and pensions. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) continues as a crucial safety net, providing 100 days of wage employment annually to rural households. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) (2015) addresses affordable housing in both urban and rural areas, ensuring dignified living conditions. The National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) extends income support to the elderly, widows, and disabled. Meanwhile, the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana–National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) organizes rural poor into self-help groups, offering financial and skill support for sustainable livelihoods.
Together, these initiatives target income, housing, financial access, and social security, significantly advancing India’s poverty alleviation agenda under SDG 1.
