However it is mentionable here that SGSY has been restructured as National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM), subsequently renamed as "Aajeevika", to implement it in a mission mode across the country. The program was formally launched on 3rd June, 2011. The core belief of NRLM is that the poor have innate capabilities and a strong desire to come out of poverty. It is to establish efficient and sustainable institutions of the rural poor that enable them to increase household income through livelihood enhancements.  

NRLM is the largest program for women in the world with its goal of reaching nearly 70 million rural households.
