PEARL (Pravasi Entrepreneurship Augmentation and Reformation of Livelihoods) is being implemented as part of the Pravasi Bhadratha Nano Programme of the Non-Resident Keralites’ Affairs (NoRKA) department.
It is estimated that more than 14 lakh emigrants returned home after losing their jobs in the wake of COVID-19. Family members of Kudumbashree neighbourhood group members or the newly formed women auxiliary groups who returned to the State following job loss are eligible for an interest-free loan to reduce their insecurity as part of the PEARL project. Family members of emigrants who died of COVID-19 can become part of the programme, as also those who have started an enterprise and want to expand it.
