Rural-Urban

The Government of India has adopted a two pronged approach for tackling rural poverty and rural-urban migration in the country: firstly by providing basic amenities in rural areas through schemes like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), Bharat Nirman, Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme, National Rural Health Mission, Indira Awas Yojana (IAY), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and Mid Day Meal (MDM) Scheme; & secondly by targeted employment generation schemes like Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY), Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY), and the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).
