Terms of Reference (ToR) for
Individual consultant for Social Mobilisation and Institution Building
1. Background
About UMED:
The Maharashtra State Rural Livelihoods Mission (MSRLM) has been launched in Maharashtra in
July 2011 as a registered organization under the aegis of the National Rural Livelihoods Mission
(NRLM) – Aajeevika - endeavors to impact rural poverty through a range of comprehensive and
strategic livelihoods interventions in a time bound manner. The Mission aims at eradication of rural
poverty by building sustainable institutions of poor and ultimately leading them to sustainable
livelihoods. The conceptualization and design of the MSRLM goes beyond income generation
activities and employment programs to include capacity building, financial inclusion, social
mobilization and marketing services as equally important elements of livelihoods enhancement. The
exponential growth in the livelihoods sector as a whole, both rural and urban, combined with
experiences and learning from earlier programs such as the IRDP, SGSY, etc. has led to a shift in
the envisioning of the mission from an agency-beneficiary equation/relationship to a more holistic
and equal partnership with the poor/communities. Building and strengthening institutions of the
poor, putting in place dedicated support structures for such institutions and drawing upon their skills,
knowledge and desire to overcome poverty lie at the core of the mission.
According to the 2001 Census report Maharashtra has a rural population of 5.57 crores of which 2.05
crore people languish below the poverty line (approx. 45 lakh households) and the HDI of 19 districts
in the state is lower than the national Index. To begin with ten districts have been identified on the
basis of, ranking on the HDI index, IAP districts, geographical location etc. Presently MSRLM is
implementing intensive strategies in 26 districts and 254 blocks in Maharashtra. The blocks have
been identified based on criteria such as percentage of SC/ST, number of BPL families, number of
SHGs formed in the block under various schemes and better financial management track record/
better co operation from Banks, etc. The mission will engage poor and marginalized communities
intensively in these ten districts, whereas the remaining 8 districts in the state will be covered under
a non-intensive intervention strategy in a phased manner.
The Mission is implemented through a three tier structure comprising a State Mission Management
Unit, District Mission Management Unit and Block Mission Management Unit. The mission
envisions poverty elimination through social mobilization, institution building, financial inclusion
and the creation of several models of sustainable livelihoods so that each poor family is able to secure
incremental annual income. The key task under the mission is to reach out to 45 lakh rural poor
households of Maharashtra and stay engaged with them till they come out of poverty. The mission
will bring about a paradigm shift in the approach to rural livelihoods and rural poverty eradication
in that it engages directly with institutions of poor and empowers them to find lasting solutions to
poverty. It sees the poor as the engines of growth rather than mere receivers of aid or being dependent
on ‘trickle down’. The NRLM believes that poor have the innate capabilities to overcome poverty if
2
they are supported with sensitive, dedicated and responsive institutions at one level and by building
strong and sustainable institutions of the poor themselves on the other.
