- (b): Details of funds allocated, released and utilized by States/UTs under DAY-NULM during the last three years under DAY-NULM is at Annexure-I.
- (c) & (d) :Swarna Jayanti Shahri Rojgar Yojana was restructured and replaced  by  DAY-NULM  in  September  2013.    Under  DAY-NULM, the States/UTs had to put in place the institutional mechanism for governance and implementation of the Mission, as mandated by  the  Mission  guidelines.    This  took  time  which  affected  the fund utilization by the States at the beginning of the Mission.  As per the instructions of Ministry of Finance, funds are released to the  States  on  the  basis  of  their  allocation  and  utilization.    If  a State failed to utilize the funds available with it, further release of funds was reduced to the extent of unspent balance available with the State.
