Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  Grameen  Kaushalya Yojana  (DDU-GKY)  and  Deendayal  Antodaya  Yojana-National  Urban  Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) run by Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises, Ministry of Rural Development and Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, respectively.

This  scheme  being  implemented through  Employees'  Provident  Fund  Organisation  (EPFO),  seeks  to  reduce  the financial burden of the employers and encourages them to hire more workers.
