Voices of change - the women of DAY-NRLM

Across India, the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana (DAY-NRLM) is re-shaping rural lives. With DAY-NRLM, women in rural India are not just earning an income -- they're deciding, leading and actively determining the future of their communities. In July 2025, our teams from 3ie travelled across five states to meet SHG members, producer enterprises and programme implementation team to capture the story of 15 years of NRLM from those at the centre of the mission. These stories are about much more than livelihoods - they are about dignity, equality and voice. To know more about 3ie's evaluation of DAY-NRLM, visit the webpage.
