He also informed the Lok Sabha that one of the essential criteria for granting financial assistance under RBH scheme is identification of suitable business partner and commitment from the implementing agency and the business partner to ensure market linkages of the products manufactured with maintenance of quality and standard of these products. The salient features of RBH scheme inter-alia are:
- Panchayats, the grass-roots democratic institutions, may prepare plans based on local resource endowments, felt needs of people and relative absorptive capacity and implement them
- Ideally suited for agriculture / horticulture / handloom / handicrafts related activities, where production is decentralized.
RBH Scheme is operational since September, 2007. Against a total approved outlay of Rs. 24.90 crore for the entire XI Five Year Plan, the annual allocation for the year 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 was Rs. 2.00 crore, Rs. 2.00 crore and Rs. 1.80 crore respectively.
In August, 2008, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj signed a Memorandum of Co-operation with KVIC for jointly promoting Khadi and Village Industries in rural areas by converging the PMEGP and SFURTI and thereby generating employment and sustainable income for rural producers. However, there has been no significant progress in this regard.

The scheme of Rural business Hub is being implemented at 35 districts of India towards developing the potential and Rural economy of India. I am as a professional social worker that having experience of 25 years in the field of community health and development, it is found very interesting and important programme and scheme for the venture of community development. However, it is found very unfortunate to mis the State of Manipur while sellecting the districts of several state of India for implementing such powerful scheme. I would like to suggest to include the State of Manipur as soon as possible so that it will be very helpful on our efforts in community development in such very backward and landlocked State which located at north east corner boarder State.
With best regards.
