Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust is running a number of welfare projects for poor in Uttar Pradesh. One such programme is Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas Pariyojna (RGMVP). Under it development initiatives for poor women are formed into microfinance-linked Self Help Groups that promote thrift and livelihood enhancement as a means to become self-reliant. The tools in the successful execution of the programme are institution and capacity building, skills training, advocacy and networking. The impact of the programme has been tremendous. It has grown exponentially and now covers over 3 lacs families in 20 districts of Uttar Pradesh. As Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said, “Today, RGMVP is the most successful and the fastest growing social mobilisation programme in UP.” Livelihood enhancement through activities such as dairy farming, livestock rearing, non-farm sector and other small entrepreneurial activities has ensured that lakhs of families have sustainable means of earning and have improved their economic condition.
