The Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) was launched in 2013 by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs in India. This mission aims to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities to the urban poor by focusing on skill development and entrepreneurship. It specifically targets six groups, including construction workers, gig workers, waste management workers, care workers, domestic workers, and transportation workers. The program has successfully mobilized millions of urban poor women and formed numerous Self-Help Groups (SHGs) across various towns in India, highlighting its significance in enhancing the livelihoods of vulnerable urban populations.
