In order to alleviate the urban poverty, Ministry of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation is implementing a centrally sponsored scheme namely Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY). The Scheme strives to provide gainful employment to the urban unemployed and underemployed poor, by encouraging setting up of self-employment ventures by those who have not studied beyond 9th standard and by providing wage employment by utilizing their labour for construction of socially and economically useful public assets. During the 9th Five Year Plan, no physical targets were prescribed under the scheme and this was left to be decided by the States/UTs as per their needs. However, in the 10th Five Year Plan, target for setting up of 4 lakhs micro-enterprises and skill up-gradation of 5 lakh Below Poverty Line persons have been fixed. During the first three years of the 10th Plan the targets/achievements on annual basis is as under: -
Year
Number of Micro-enterprises set up
Number of persons given skill development training
