## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) Urban  development,  including  urban  poverty  alleviation  is  a state subject and the implementation of schemes/programmes under  this  is  the  responsibility  of  State/UT  Governments. Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) supplements the effort of State/UT by providing Central  Assistance  under 'Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana-  National  Urban  Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM)'.

The Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), implemented till 2013, had aimed at providing gainful employment  to  the  urban  unemployed  and  under-employed through setting up of self-employment ventures or provision of wage  employment.  On  23 rd September  2013,  SJSRY  was restructured and  launched  as  National Urban  Livelihoods Mission (NULM).  In February, 2016 the Mission was renamed as  Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana  -  National  Urban  Livelihoods Mission and extended to all the statutory towns in the country.

The 'Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana -National Urban Livelihoods        Mission  (DAY-NULM)'  has  the  objective  of reducing poverty and vulnerability of urban poor households by enabling  them  to  access  gainful  self-employment  and  skilled wage  employment  opportunities,  in  order  to  improve  their livelihoods  on  a  sustainable  basis,  through  building  strong grassroots level institutions of the urban poor.

- (b)  & (c) DAY-NULM is implemented in all 35 districts of Maharashtra, including Parbhani Lok Sabha Constituency, with a total number  of  8160  beneficiaries covered  under  the scheme.
- (d)  &  (e)  The Scheme is implemented for promoting employment in aspirational  districts.  As  on  15.7.2024,  the  progress  of  DAYNULM, across the country, is as under:
