The Telangana government has decided to expand the Inclusive Livelihood Programme to seven areas, with a focus on Scheduled Castes, tribal communities and Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Being implemented by the Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP) in association with the Aga Khan Foundation and BRAC International, this poverty alleviation programme follows the globally recognised graduation approach, tailored to local socio-economic conditions. Officials said the programme adopts a sequenced strategy integrating social protection by providing entitlements, financial inclusion, livelihoods and market linkages, while ensuring convergence with multiple State and Central welfare schemes.
