## History

[edit]

The initial scheme Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) was launched in 1999. It was renamed as National Rural Livelihood Mission in 2011. Finally they were merged into DDU-AY.[3]

The SGSY was somewhat intended to provide self-employment to millions of villagers. The programme aims at bringing the assisted poor families above the poverty line by organising them into self-help groups (SHGs) through a mix of bank credit and government subsidy.[4] The main aim of these SHGs was to bring these poor families above the poverty line and concentrate on income generation through combined effort.[4][5][6] The Swarna Jayanti Swarozgar Yojna (SGSY) has been renamed as National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). With this the scheme will be made universal, more focused and time bound for poverty alleviation by 2014.[7]

## Purpose

[edit]

"Extended to all the 4,041 statutory cities and towns of the country, DAY-NULM aims at reducing urban poverty by improving livelihood opportunities through skill training and skill upgradation for self-employment, subsidised bank loans for setting up micro-enterprises, organising urban poor into self-help groups, among others."[8][9]

### The scheme integrates two main components:

[edit]

National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM): Focused on reducing poverty in urban areas by providing skill training, facilitating self-employment, and supporting micro-enterprises. It also addresses the needs of urban street vendors by providing access to suitable spaces, institutional credit, social security, and skills to tap into emerging market opportunities.

National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM): Aimed at empowering the rural poor by promoting self-employment and skill-based wage employment opportunities, thereby improving their livelihoods on a sustainable basis.[10]
