DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN RURAL AREAS (DWCRA)

This programme envisages formation of groups of 10 - 15 rural women and each group is involved in carrying out income generating activities. Each group is given a revolving fund of Rs.15,000 which is shared equally by the Centre , State and UNICEF. This fund is later enhanced up to 25,000 and the UNICEF also bears the expenditure on the staff salaries for a period of six years, which is fully reimbursed.
