Additional Details
The Madhya Pradesh Rural Livelihoods Project (MPRLP) is a community-driven poverty alleviation initiative managed by the Madhya Pradesh Society for Rural Livelihood Promotion under the Department of Panchayat and Rural Development. Operating within the decentralized Panchayati Raj framework, MPRLP empowers Gram Sabhas (village assemblies) to plan and execute local development activities. The project channels financial resources directly to Gram Kosh (village accounts) to fund micro-credit revolving loans, local haat bazaar marketplaces, agricultural seed distribution, livestock support, and clean energy (biogas/solar). By focusing on tribal and marginalized rural households, particularly women, MPRLP strengthens local governance and nurtures rural entrepreneurship.
