Background

Haryana, located in the northern part of the country, was carved out of the former state of East Punjab on 1 November 1966 on a linguistic basis. The state has 22 districts, 140 Blocks, 6,848 villages, and 6222 Gram Panchayats. The literacy rate in the state has grown from 67.9% in 2001 to 76.4% in 2011; urban decadal growth has seen a growth of 44.25% in this period, while rural growth rate has been 10%.

Kudumbashree is partnering with Haryana State Rural Livelihood Mission (HSRLM) to implement SVEP in two blocks. 

SVEP

The partnership between HSRLM and Kudumbashree NRO for implementation of SVEP project was initiated in May 2018. The MoU was signed for two blocks of Pinjore (Panchkula) and Gharaunda (Karnal) for which the DPR was approved in September 2018. 

In Haryana, Kudumbashree NRO has placed one mentor in each block. The 4 years program implementation is for the duration from September 2018 to August 2022. Activities such as stakeholder workshop, block-level orientation on SVEP, CRP-EP selection, census, baseline surveys, DPR preparation and capacity building of CRP-EP have been completed for both the blocks. Only SHG women were selected to become CRP-EP in Haryana. The BRC office has been set up in both the blocks with necessary requirements and systems in place. Apart from enterprise promotion, multiple skill trainings in food/catering service, clothing, and other related fields have been provided to SHG women. Festival markets and weekly markets have also been promoted, with the aim of local economic development.
