This has been done in view of the shortcomings pointed out by various independent evaluation/research studies and recommendations by various committees and the experience of implementation of the programme in the last ten years. The NRLM will function in a mission mode for target based time bound delivery of outcomes following a demand driven approach which would allow the states to formulate their own poverty alleviation plans on the basis of available allocation, resources and skills. The Budget requirement for NRLM is Rs.16, 400 crore for the last two years of the 11th plan including the Rs.2984 crore already allocated for the current Financial Year.
