MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF URBAN EMPLOYMENT & POVERTY ALLEVIATION ( KUMARI SELJA )
(a)to(c): Under employment oriented urban poverty alleviation
Scheme of Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), which is
being implemented by the Ministry of Urban Employment & Poverty
Alleviation on all India basis through States/UTs Governments,
Central funds are released to the States/UTs for the
implementation of Scheme. The scheme of SJSRY strives to
provide self-employment to the urban poor living below the
poverty line by setting up of micro-enterprises and also through
provision of wage-employment by utilizing the labour of urban
poor in construction of useful public assets. Under SJSRY, at
the beginning of the financial year, the Central funds are
tentatively allocated to the States/UTs in proportion to the
incidence of urban poverty in the States/UTs and thereafter
these funds are released to the States/UTs, in installments, on
the basis of receipt of Utilization Certificates for the past
Central releases and also the contribution of matching State
shares for the past releases. Additional funds, over and above
the tentative allocations, are also released to the States/UTs
on their request keeping in view the physical and financial
progress of the Scheme in the State/UT and also the availability
of funds. Under SJSRY, proposals for urban employment, as such,
are not received from the States/UTs and only demand for
additional funds, if required are received.
