In the bustling streets of our cities, amidst the towering skyscrapers and busy intersections, lies a vibrant yet often overlooked community – the urban poor. These individuals, struggling against the tide of poverty and vulnerability, deserve opportunities to thrive and build sustainable livelihoods. Recognizing this pressing need, the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM) emerges as a beacon of hope, aiming to transform lives and uplift urban communities across the nation.

At its core, NULM is more than just a government initiative; it’s a commitment to empowerment and inclusivity. By providing avenues for gainful self-employment and skilled wage opportunities, NULM endeavors to break the cycle of poverty and create pathways to prosperity for the urban poor households. Through the establishment of robust grassroots-level institutions, we strive to foster a sense of ownership and agency among community members, empowering them to shape their destinies and contribute meaningfully to society.

One of the key pillars of NULM is the provision of shelters equipped with essential services for the urban homeless. In a phased manner, we aim to ensure that every individual, regardless of their socio-economic background, has access to safe and dignified living spaces. By addressing the basic human need for shelter, we lay the foundation for a more equitable and compassionate society.

But NULM goes beyond just providing physical infrastructure; it delves into the heart of livelihood concerns, particularly for urban street vendors. These hardworking individuals, often operating on the fringes of formal economy, deserve support and recognition for their contributions. NULM facilitates access to suitable spaces, institutional credit, social security, and skills training, empowering street vendors to tap into emerging market opportunities and secure their financial futures.

Join us in our journey towards empowerment and transformation. Together, let’s build a nation where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. With NULM leading the way, the dream of inclusive and sustainable urban development is within reach.
