Findings from the Evaluation of the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission
This seminar brings 3ie's evaluation evidence into dialogue with policy and practice, presenting headline findings on income, consumption, financial inclusion, and women's economic empowerment from a five-year, two-round panel design. It convenes researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and development partners to discuss implications for future programming and opportunities to scale evidence-informed livelihood interventions.
Background
Launched in 2011 by the Ministry of Rural Development, NRLM — now the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) — is one of India's flagship anti-poverty programs.
In partnership with the Ministry of Rural Development, the Gates Foundation, and the World Bank, 3ie evaluated DAY-NRLM through a panel study tracking 23,000 households across 9 states (2019–2020), followed by a 2023–2024 round assessing DAY-NRLM and National Rural Economic Transformation Project’s (NRETP) long-term impact on income, consumption, and women's empowerment. Together, the two rounds offer rare longitudinal evidence on how a phased poverty-alleviation program performs as community institutions mature.
