NABARD · Livelihood and Enterprise Development Programme (LEDP)
Not yet — monitor and verify. New initiative, announced within the window.
NABARD has launched a 21-day Livelihood and Enterprise Development Programme (LEDP) for 60 women members of Self-Help Groups in North Delhi and Outer North Delhi in collaboration with Anmol Sahara. Running at centres in Azadpur and Tikri, the programme provides practical training in crafting cow dung products, candles, and festive handicrafts, as well as pricing and digital marketing. The initiative also facilitates linkages to markets, exhibitions, and corporate buyers.
Fact: The programme is deployed in Delhi for SHG women through an established partner, Anmol Sahara. Interpretation: There is no direct partnership or funding opportunity here for a Pune-based NGO serving school dropouts and first-generation job seekers, although it confirms NABARD's continuing commitment to funding grassroots livelihood skilling.
Works with NGOs; no open call stated. The article states NABARD launched the programme 'in collaboration with Anmol Sahara', showing reliance on NGO partners, but does not invite new partners.
Funding signal: NABARD is supporting the 21-day training programme for 60 SHG women, though the specific financial amount is not specified.
