Haryana State Rural Livelihood Mission

Veddis’ partnership with Haryana State Rural Livelihood Mission (HSRLM) under its Governance for Policy Action Transformation and Innovation (GATI) initiative aims to maximize policy implementation through tech and data-driven governance. We initiated our partnership with HSRLM in November 2018 to improve the governance of 31 Cluster Level Federations (CLFs) in 7 districts of Haryana. Since then, we have pivoted from deep CLF-level intervention to extending strategic planning support to HSRLM across all 22 districts of Haryana. In our present model, we have established a PMU in Chandigarh to strengthen the governance of the Model CLF program. We have also deployed resources at the regional and district levels to help HSRLM in evidence-based planning. The focus of this partnership is to institutionalize the governance processes that help beneficiaries access more funds along with more unlock & utilization of government funds.

With a deep belief in technology as an enabler for building state capacities and creating large-scale impact, we have also collaborated with the state to develop digital tools for efficient planning and better service delivery.

We have deployed Sashakt, a digital training assessment tool, at a pan-state level which will generate decentralized actionable insights for need-based capacity building.

Kunji, an AI-based WhatsApp Chatbot has been rolled out among HSRLM officials which will enable quick access to policy information on their smartphone. We are also supporting HSRLM in its Lakhpati Didi program leveraging technology as an enabler for better program outcomes.
