The District Rural Development Agency
(DRDA) has traditionally been the principal organ
at the District level to oversee the implementation
of different anti poverty programmes. The primary
objective of DRDA Schemes is to professionalize the
DRDAs so that they are able to effectively manage
the anti poverty programmes of the Ministry of Rural
Development and interact effectively with other agencies.
DRDAs must themselves be more professional and should
be able to interact effectively with various other
agencies. They are expected to coordinate with the
line departments, the Panchayati Raj Institutions,
the banks and other financial institutions, the NGOs
as well as the technical institutions, with a view
to gathering the support and resources required for
poverty reduction effort in the district. It shall
be their endeavor and objective to secure inter-sectoral
and inter- departmental coordination and cooperation
for reducing poverty in the district. It is their
ability to coordinate and bring about a convergence
of approach among different agencies for poverty alleviation
that would set them apart.

a number of programmes in rural areas through the state
Governments for poverty reduction, employment generation,

of basic minimum services etc. The important programmes
presently being implemented by the Department are :
