Metedene CLF from Arunachal wins Atmanirbhar Sangathan Award 2024

Itanagar, July 3 (UNI) In a proud moment for Arunachal Pradesh, Metedene Cluster-Level Federation (CLF) from Sagalee Block under Papum Pare district has been awarded Third Position in the “Less than 5 Years” category (North-East region) of the Atmanirbhar Sangathan Awards 2024.
The prestigious award is conferred by the Union Ministry of Rural Development, celebrating outstanding contributions by Self-Help Group Federations across the country.
Selected among 22 CLFs, the Metedene CLF—functioning under the Arunachal State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ArSRLM)—has been recognized for its outstanding efforts in fostering women’s economic empowerment, financial inclusion, and community-led development under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM), an official release said on Thursday.
The award celebrates the federation’s journey in enabling rural women to become self-reliant through collective entrepreneurship and capacity-building. As part of the recognition, two office bearers from Metedene CLF will attend the Independence Day celebration in New Delhi, where they will be felicitated by the Union Minister of Rural Development. They will also have the opportunity to engage in a direct interaction with the Minister on stage—an important platform for grassroots voices.
Special priority will be given to articulate leaders, particularly Lakhpati Didis, who personify the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, the release said.
ArSRLM has extended its heartfelt congratulations to the Metedene CLF and reiterated its commitment to strengthening grassroots women's institutions and transforming rural communities through sustainable livelihoods.
