Abstract
Rural unemployment is still an unresolved social problem demanding remedy. Erstwhile selfemployment and wage employment programmes were alleged to be underprovided in bringing down the unemployment rate as planned. Irrespective of the number of programmes, effective employment generation through different programmes is important. The paper reviews the selfemployment programmes implemented in the country since the Sixth Five-year Plan period.
