Ensure that socio-economic resilience is built among the rural vulnerable including migrant families hardest hit by the COVID Pandemic.

The project aims to contribute to the social and economic well-being of communities and build resilience among people to cope with eventualities like COVID-19. The project aspires that Gram Panchayats (GPs) are capacitated to develop and execute need-based holistic programs and bring all eligible under social security safety nets. The intervention is intended to create a conducive governance ecosystem at the community level furthering the intent and efforts of the government wherein the community leaders and the GP act as the fulcrum of all actions. The government officials such as PEOs, Gram Rojgar Saathi, CRPs from OLM, GPEOs, Block Planning Engineers, and other officials associated with the economic well-being of people shall be sensitized on SDG-based planning and budgeting at the GP level. CSOs, the private sector, and corporate houses present in the operational districts and beyond shall be roped into the process of knowledge sharing, gathering collective wisdom, and pursuing pro-poor agenda.
