3.6.1. Schemes for Welfare of Minorities

Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakaram

Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) seeks to provide better socio-economic infrastructure facilities to the minority communities particularly in the field of education, health

& skill development which would further lead to lessening of the gap between the national average and the minority communities with regard to backwardness parameters. PMJVK is restructured and renamed version of the erstwhile Multi-sectoral Development Programme (MsDP).

The scheme is envisaged to reach out to women through nongovernmental organizations who will be provided with financial support for conducting leadership development trainings so that women are empowered and emboldened to move out of the confines of home and community and assume leadership roles and assert their rights collectively or individually.
