*******

Contd..

- (c)  &(d):  This  Ministry  is  implementing  a  Centrally  Sponsored
- Scheme, namely, 'Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM)' to reduce poverty and vulnerability of the urban poor households by enabling them to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities.  The Mission has been extended to all statutory towns in the country in February, 2016. DAY-NULM has seven components  of  which  Self  Employment  Programme  is  one. Component-wise  allocation  of  funds  is  not  made  under  DAYNULM and States/UTs have been given flexibility to make interse  allocation  of  funds  according  to  the  local  requirement. Details of funds allocated and beneficiaries under DAY-NULM, State-wise  during  the  last  three  years  are  at  Annexure-I  and Annexure -II respectively.

In  addition  to  DAY-NULM,  the  Government  has  increased public expenditure on Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) of the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises.  Government  has  also  decided  to  strategically promote labour-intensive manufacturing and expand employment  opportunities  by  promoting  tourism  and  agrobased  industries.  A  new  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship  has  been  established  to  enhance  skilling programme and to coordinate skilling activities across Ministries.
