The Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation has launched a National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM). This has replaced the existing SJSRY from the beginning of the 12th Five Year Plan. NULM would be target-oriented with specific focus on the primary issues pertaining to urban poverty such as skill up- gradation, entrepreneurship development and employment creation through wage employment and self- employment opportunities opened up by the emerging markets in urban areas.

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.
