India needs to generate at least 10 million new livelihood opportunities a year over the next 15 years to sustain its economy. Poverty is no longer a rural phenomenon and increasingly we find attention being focused on urban poor who are often the migrants.

It is expected that traditional sources such as agriculture will have limited potential to generate new livelihoods.
