The IRDP (Integrated Rural Development Program) was introduced in 1979 to provide gainful employment and increase purchasing power for rural poor and weaker sections of society. It aimed to use local resources and science/technology to create simple, economically viable jobs. To manage the program, District Rural Development Agencies (DRDAs) were established at the district level, governed by a council headed by the DRDA Project Officer. The program was jointly funded by central and state governments and implemented through strengthened development blocks, but suffered issues like inadequate resources, poor asset quality, and delays.
