However, experiences learnt in the process of implementing the NRDWP Framework of Implementation, and on the basis of the analysis of the results of the successes achieved and deficiencies that remain with the NRDWP, has brought out the fact that certain modifications are needed in some components and further clarity is need on some other issues of the programme.
