Abstract :

Sanjeevini is the rural livelihood program being implemented by the Government of Karnataka under the framework of National Rural Livelihood Mission. Diversification of income or livelihood is the key for augmenting capabilities, particularly economical and financial capital of the people in the rural area. The diversification can only be induced by systematically building their individual (human) and group (social) capabilities. The NRLM has a multiple strategy to extend livelihood opportunities for rural poor. It starts from effective social mobilisation, capacity development, building institutions of poor and developing support systems for the members. Some inherent and external factors can contribute or contradict the income diversification initiative. This papers endeavours to identify the determinants of income diversification and discuss the challenges as well as solutions for expediting the results
