Brief  Note  on  Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana -  National  Urban  Livelihoods Mission  (DAY  -  NULM)  referred  to  part  (a)  of  reply  LSUQ  No.  5913  for answer on 03.04.2018.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (M/o. HUPA) launched 'National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM)' w.e.f. 23 rd September, 2013 by restructuring 'Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY)'.  The  Mission  has  now  been  extended  to  all  statutory  towns  in the  country,  to  be  decided  by  the  States  as  per  the  local  capacity  and requirement and renamed as Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban

Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM).

## DAY-NULM has seven components:

- a)         Social  Mobilization  and  Institution  Development  (SM&ID)  DAY-NULM envisages  universal  social  mobilization  of  urban  poor into  Self-Help  Groups  (SHGs)  and  their  federations.  SHGs  may consist  of  10  to  20  members.  These  groups  serve  as  a  support system  for  the  poor  to  meet  their  financial  and  social  needs. Normally,  women  SHGs  will  be  formed,  however,  male  SHGs  of differently  abled  persons  or  those  in  vulnerable  occupations  like rag-pickers, sanitation workers etc. will be allowed to be formed. An amount of Rs. 10,000 can be spent per SHG for its formation, handholding, training  of  the  members,  bank  linkage,  formation  of federation and other related activities.
- b)         Capacity  Building  and  Training  (CB&T)  -  This  component helps  in  building  strong  institutional  structure  at  the  National, State and City level, enabling the Ministry and State Agencies to provide high quality technical assistance in the field of livelihood promotion and urban poverty alleviation for efficient implementation  of  DAY-NULM.  Institutes/  agencies/  experts  such as  NIRD/NABCONS/HSMI  etc.  may  be  engaged  to  strengthen  the implementation of the Mission, monitoring, evaluation, social audit and capacity building in the States and UTs.
- c) Employment through skills Training and Placement (EST&P) This component is designed to provide skills to the urban poor to increase  their  income  through  structured  and  market-oriented certified  courses  that  can  provide  wage  employment  and/or  selfemployment  opportunities  which  will  eventually  lead  to  better living standards and alleviation of urban poverty on a sustainable basis. SULM can directly engage training partners of National Skill

Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  and  training  providers  engaged by any other government agencies for the purpose of skill training. Technical assessment of STPs shall have to be undertaken by the SULM to ensure that the quality of the training is not compromised.

- d) Self-Employment  Programme(SEP)-  This  component  focuses on  financial  assistance  to  individuals/groups/SHGs  of  urban  poor for setting up gainful self-employment ventures or microenterprises.  Interest  subvention  is  provided  at  the  rate  over  and above  the  ROI  of  7%  on  the  bank  loans  sanctioned  for  the individual/group micro-enterprises. Further, an additional 3% interest subvention is provided to women Self Help Groups (SHGs) on timely repayment of loans.
- e) Scheme for Shelter for Urban Homeless (SUH) - Provides for availability and access of urban homeless population to permanent shelters  equipped  with  basic  infrastructure  facilities  like  water supply,  sanitation,  safety  and  security.  Depending  upon  local conditions  each  shelter  should  preferably  cater  to  50  or  more persons.  In  exceptional  situations,  shelters  with  lesser  capacity could  also  be  approved.  Central  Government  would  also  provide 60% or 90% of the O&M cost as the case may be for each shelter for  the  period  of  first  5  years  of  operation.  The  appropriate  O&M cost will be approved by Project Sanctioning Committee.
- f) Support  to  Urban  Street  Vendors  (SUSV)-  This  component addresses the livelihood concerns of the urban street vendors by facilitating survey, issue of certificates and identity cards, creation of required physical infrastructure for vending zones, provendor  urban  planning  and  provision  of  skills  to  urban  street vendors for accessing  emerging market opportunities.
- g)         Innovative and Special Projects (I&SP) - These projects are for formulation and implementation of innovative skill development programmes, provision of support structure, technology, marketing, capacity building etc. or a combination of these. These projects  may  also  include  activities  that  are  not  possible  to address through the normal course of DAY-NULM implementation.

Since April, 2014, 10,41,009 persons have been provided skill training,  2,55,383  beneficiaries  have  been  assisted  for  setting  up individual  or  group  micro-enterprises,  2,67,736  Self-Help  Groups (SHGs) have been formed, 1,84,053 SHGs  have been given Revolving  Fund  and  3,62,206  SHGs  have  been  disbursed  loans under  SHG  Bank  Linkage  Programme.
