Swaran Jayanti Shahri Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) Scheme was a
Centrally Sponsored Scheme launched in the state from 1997-98.
The scheme had been restructured as National Urban Livelihood
Mission (NULM)
on 14-August-2014. The core belief of National Urban Livelihoods
Mission (NULM) is that the poor are entrepreneurial and have
innate desire to come out of poverty. The first step in this
process is motivating the urban poor to form their own
institutions. They and their institutions need to be provided
sufficient capacity so that they can manage the external
environment, access finance, expand their skills, enterprises
and assets. This requires continuous and carefully designed
handholding support.
The scheme is being implemented through District
Urban Development Agencies (DUDAs) functioning in 12 erstwhile
districts and in respect of Leh & Kargil districts the scheme is
being implemented through the Municipal Committees of the
respective districts. In the 12th Five Year Plan, NULM will be
implemented in all District Headquarter Towns and all other
cities with a population of 100,000 or more as per 2011 Census.
However, other towns may be allowed in exceptional cases on
request of the States. Now as per revised guidelines from GOI,
the mission can be implemented in all statutory towns as well.
The scheme aims at providing gainful employment to
unemployed and under employed urban youth living below poverty
line and also provide skill upgradation training to urban poor.
The main components of NULM are
as under:-
a)
Social Mobilization
and Institution Development (SM&ID)
b)
Employment Through
Skills Training and Placement (EST&P)
c)
Capacity Building and
Training (CB&T)
d)
Self-Employment
Programme (SEP)
e)
Support to Urban
Street Vendors. (SUSV)
f)
Scheme of Shelter for
urban Homeless (SUH)
The State Level Nodal agency
for implementation of the programme is State Urban Dev. Agency
(SUDA/SULM). Hon’ble Minister for Housing & Urban
Development, Admn. Secy. H&UDD and
Joint Director (P&S) of the Department are its Chairman, Vice
Chairman and Member Secretary respectively.
