RFPs called from Training Partners to impart skill training under EST&P of DAY-NULM

DAY-NULM (Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Urban Livelihood Mission) is a government of India’s flagship program to address the incidence of poverty among the urban poor. The program which was launched on 23rd September 2013 by replacing the existing Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), strives to reduce poverty and vulnerability of the urban poor households by enabling them to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities, resulting in an appreciable improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable basis.

• The Employment through Skill Training & Placement (EST&P) Component under DAY-NULM is designed to provide skills to the unskilled urban poor as well as to upgrade their existing skills. The program will provide skill training for the urban poor to enable them to set up self-employment ventures and salaried jobs in the private sector. The EST&P Program intends to fill the gap between the demand and availability of local skills by providing a skill training program as required by the market.
