Abstract
Self-employment is one of the significant steps to have sustained income and to remove the shackle of poverty. Earlier programmes of Government of India such as Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) gained momentum but did not yield desirable result. After examining the deficiencies of the earlier programmes government launched an integrated self-employment programme Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY). This programme aims at establishing large number of micro enterprises through SHGs in the rural areas to build upon the potential of rural poor. Through this programme Government of India attempts to support capacity building and create provisions of income generation of rural poor through bank credit and subsidy. In India and Assam SGSY scheme has provided a successful livelihood to the BPL families and increase financial strength of the rural poor and help in decision making and alleviation of poverty. This paper highlights the impacts of SGSY programmes on poverty alleviation of the rural poor in the Golaghat District. The main objective of this paper is to identify the impacts of SGSY programme and constraints of the beneficiaries in increasing their income level. A total of 160 beneficiaries have been selected randomly from 16 villages of Golaghat West Development Block of Golaghat district of Assam to collect necessary data
