Efforts on to uplift extremely poor, deprived families

In a move to uplift extremely poor families of the State, a two-day workshop was organized on Thursday by Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society (JSLPS) and the Najj Foundation for the development of very poor families of the State. The workshop was inaugurated by Chief Executive Officer (CEO), JSLPS, Suraj Kumar.

The workshop aims to prepare an action plan to ensure a sustainable livelihood for the marginalized communities including the very poor families by connecting them in the mainstream.

The UDAN project through JSLPS has been started for the development of PVTG families. This workshop is the first step towards formulating a national level strategy for the development of very poor families. Under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana National Rural Livelihoods Mission, the Ministry of Rural Development is committed to work under a special strategy for the development of very poor and deprived families in all the States of the Country. JSLPS is working with a good strategy against PVTG development and witch malpractices. There is a need to ensure social inclusion through Sakhi Mandals in the State so that no very poor family remains away from development, this initiative will prove to be a milestone in this direction.
