DAY-NRLM empowers rural women by mobilizing them into Self-Help Groups (SHGs). These SHGs provide a platform for women to access credit, training, and market opportunities. The scheme promotes financial inclusion by linking SHGs to banks and providing them with financial literacy training. Furthermore, it encourages women to take on leadership roles within their communities, fostering social and economic empowerment.

The key provisions of DAY-NRLM related to financial inclusion include: * Facilitating access to credit for SHGs from banks. * Providing interest subvention on loans to SHGs. * Promoting financial literacy and awareness among SHG members. * Encouraging the use of digital platforms for financial transactions. * Supporting the development of community-based financial institutions.
