Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM)

The Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) was launched on April 1, 2014, by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, as a restructured version of the Swarn Jayanti Urban Employment Scheme. Initially, the scheme was implemented in 40 urban local bodies of the state, including 33 district headquarters and seven urban local bodies with a population of over one lakh. In the financial year 2016-17, the implementation area was expanded to all urban local bodies in the state.

It emphasizes the social and economic development of urban poor women by organizing them into groups and providing financial assistance for the construction, operation, and maintenance of shelters for urban homeless individuals.
