Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM)
Government has launched the Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM), in September 2015, aimed at strengthening rural areas by provisioning of economic, social and physical infrastructure facilities.
The Mission aims at development of 300 Rurban clusters, in the next 5 years. The Objectives are:
- Bridge the rural urban divide- economic, technological and those related to facilities and services.
- Spreading development in the region.
- Attracting investments in the rural areas.
- Stimulating local economic development with emphasis on reduction of poverty and unemployment in rural areas.
A ‘Rurban cluster’, would be a cluster of geographically contiguous villages with a population of about 25,000 to 50,000 in plain and coastal areas and a population of 5,000 to 15,000 in desert, hilly or tribal areas.
