(a) to (c):       As per website of Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC)- 2011(Urban), the data is provisional. However, Government of India has been taken several initiatives for urban poor to provide employment and livelihood opportunities to gain sustainable income. Govt. of India is also providing benefits to the poor in terms of housing, shelter and other benefits which are required to live a dignified life.

The  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  has  been  implementing  Swarna  Jayanti Shahri Rozgar Yojana which was restructured as National Urban  Livelihoods Mission (NULM) and was launched in 2013. The NULM has been extended to all statutory towns in the country, and has been renamed as Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) in 2016. The mission aims at providing shelter equipped with essential services to the urban homeless in a phased manner. In addition, the Mission would also address livelihood  concerns  of  the  urban  street  vendors  by  facilitating  access  to  suitable  spaces, institutional credit, social security and skills to the urban street vendors for accessing emerging market opportunities.

Physical progress of DAY-NULM during last five years is as under:
