Vaazhndhu Kaattuvom Project

Vaazhndhu Kaattuvom Project (formerly called Tamil Nadu Rural Transformation Project – TNRTP) is an innovative third-generation World Bank-assisted Project that is aiming at rural transformation through investments in creation of assets and setting up appropriate institutional mechanisms. The Project is looking to work beyond poverty alleviation by building sustainability and prosperity of rural communities through rural enterprise promotion, access to finance and employment opportunities in the selected blocks of Tamil Nadu.

The Project is building on existing institutional capital and investments made by Tamil Nadu Empowerment and Poverty Reduction Programme (TNEPRP), Tamil Nadu State Rural Livelihoods Mission (TNSRLM) and National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLP).

The Project is operational in 120 blocks covering 3,994 village panchayats spread across 31 districts of Tamil Nadu.
