milestones

In contrast to our previous poverty eradication programmes there is no specific financial and physical targets set for Kudumbashree. In Kudumbashree we practice a process approach and not a project approach. For effective monitoring of the programme the following milestones are adopted.

  • Formation of 60,200 NHGs all over Kerala.

  • Formation of 10,500 ADSs at Ward level.

  • Formation of 1048 CDSs at Panchayat/Municipality/Corporation
    level by federating various ADSs.

  • Linking at least 20% of NHGs with NABARD's scheme for linkage
    banking every year.

  • Provide shelter to all poor.

  • Provide safe drinking water within 300 meters of their residence.

  • Provide sanitation facility in all the families within next five years.

  • Establish at least one sustainable micro enterprise in each NHG
    leading to large-scale employment.

  • Establish an Informal Bank of Women in the model of
    Bangladesh Grameen Bank.

  • Implementation of special package programme for the development
    of SC/ST and traditional fishermen.
