DAY-NULM

To reduce poverty and vulnerability of the urban poor households by enabling them to access gainful self employment and skilled wage employment opportunities, resulting in an appreciable improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable basis, through building strong grassroots level institutions of the poor. The mission would aim at providing shelters 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 by facilitating access to suitable spaces, institutional credit, social security and skills to the urban street vendors for accessing emerging market opportunities. Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) was started at Bolpur Municipality area on and from 1st April 2016 in place of SJSRY.

Key Points:

1. DAY-NULM envisages universal social mobilisation of urban poor into Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their federations.

2. At least one member from each urban poor household, preferably a woman, should be brought under the Self-Help Group network in a time-bound manner.

3. SHGs belonging to the urban poor will be given bank loans at a rate of interest of 7% p.a. All SHGs belonging to women which repay loans on time will receive an additional 3% p.a. subvention of interest, making the interest rate 4% p.a.

Six (06) Components of DAY-NULM:

1. Social Mobilisation & Institutional Development – Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) shall rest on the foundation that the mobilisation of urban poor households to form their own institutions is an important investment for an effective and sustainable poverty reduction programme. These institutions of the poor would partner with local self-governments, public service providers, banks, private sector and other mainstream institutions to facilitate delivery of social and economic services to the poor. DAY-NULM envisages mobilisation of urban poor households into a three tiered structure with Self-Help Groups (SHGs) at the grass-root level, Area Level Federations (ALFs) at the slum / ward level and City-Level Federations (CLFs) at the city-level.

2. Self Employment Programme – This component will focus on financial assistance to individuals/groups of urban poor for setting up gainful self-employment ventures/ micro-enterprises, suited to their skills, training, aptitude and local conditions. The component will also support Self Help Groups (SHGs) of urban poor to access easy credit from bank and avail interest subsidy on SHG loans. The component will further focus on technology, marketing and other support services to the individuals, group entrepreneurs, SHG members and Urban street vendors/ hawkers engaged in micro enterprises for their livelihoods. The component will also facilitate credit cards for working capital requirement of the entrepreneurs.

3. Employment through Skill Training and Placement – The National Skill Development Policy 2015 points to a requirement of 109.73 million additional skilled human resources across 24 key sectors by 2022. The Employment through Skill Training & Placement (EST&P) Component under NULM is designed to provide skills to the unskilled urban poor as well as to upgrade their existing skills. The programme will provide for skill training of the urban poor to enable them setting up self-employment ventures and for salaried jobs in the private sector. The EST&P Programme intends to ﬁ ll the gap between the demand and availability of local skills by providing skill training programmes as required by the market.

4. Capacity Building and Training – The key objectives of the Capacity Building and Training (CB&T) component are to transform the role of MoHUPA and State Agencies in charge of urban poverty alleviation into providers of high quality technical assistance in the field of livelihood promotion and urban poverty alleviation, to build strong institutional structures at the National, State, and City levels for efficient implementation of the DAY-NULM and to build capacity of the urban poor, their institutions and the machinery involved in the implementation of DAY-NULM.

5. Support to Urban Street Vendor – The objective of the component is to address the vulnerabilities of the urban street vendors through a multi-pronged approach. This includes:

i) Survey of street vendors and issue of Identity Cards.
ii) Development of city street vending plans
iii) Infrastructure development of vending zones in the city
iv) Training and Skill Development
v) Financial Inclusion
vi) Access to credit
vii) Linkages to social security schemes

6. Shelter for Urban Homeless – Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) aims at providing permanent shelter equipped with essential services to the urban homeless in a phased manner under the Scheme of Shelters for Urban Homeless (SUH). Homeless persons include persons who do not have a house, either self-owned or rented, but instead live and sleep on pavements, at parks, railway stations, bus stations and places of worship, outside shops and factories, at construction sites, under bridges, in hume pipes and other places under the open sky or places unfit for human habitation.
