National Urban Livelihoods Mission
Key components and features of the National Urban Livelihoods Mission include:
-
Social Mobilization and Institution Development (SM&ID): This component focuses on organizing the urban poor into self-help groups (SHGs) and their federations, creating community structures to facilitate their empowerment and capacity building.
-

-
Employment through Skill Training and Placement (EST&P): This component focuses on providing wage employment to the urban poor by facilitating skill training and placement in the formal sector.
-
Self-Employment Program (SEP): NULM supports the establishment of micro-enterprises by providing financial assistance to individuals/groups of urban poor for setting up gainful self-employment ventures.
-
Support to Urban Street Vendors: The mission provides assistance to street vendors through measures like the identification of vending zones, access to credit, and skill development.
-
Setting up of Shelters for Urban Homeless: NULM aims to provide temporary shelters equipped with essential services to the urban homeless during extreme weather conditions.
-
