National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM) was launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA), Government of India in 23rd September, 2013 by replacing the existing Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojna (SJSRY).The NULM will focus on organizing urban poor in their strong grassroots level institutions, creating opportunities for skill development leading to market-based employment and helping them to set up self-employment venture by ensuring easy access to credit. The Mission is aimed 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.
EST&P component under NULM is designed to provide skills to the unskilled urban poor as well as to upgrade their existing skills. The program will provide skill training to the urban poor so that they can set up self-employment ventures or secure salaried employment. The program intends to fill the gap between the demand and availability of local skills by providing skill training programs as required by the market.
From Last Three year we provide more than 5000 training to urban youth under EST&P component of NULM.
