Correct Answer: Skill development among the urban poor

Solution : The correct answer is (c) Skill development among the urban poor

The NULM was launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, with the goal of reducing poverty and vulnerability of urban poor households. It focuses on providing shelter and basic services to the urban homeless, skill development for self-employment and wage employment, and organizing urban poor into self-help groups to enhance their capacities and enable them to access financial services. The mission also aims to promote improved delivery of basic services such as water supply, sanitation, and healthcare to the urban poor. While the NULM primarily addresses housing and infrastructure issues in urban areas, it also emphasizes skill development to enhance the employability of the urban poor.
