Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY)
ULLAL TOWN MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
This scheme seeks to provide gainful employment to the Urban Poor through encouraging setting up of self-employment ventures or provision for wage employment. The SJSRY is funded on a 75:25 basis between the centre and the state.The SJSRY is the scheme developed on the old models of Urban Basic Services for Poor (UBSP) and Nehru Rozgar Yojana (NRY) Schemes. Before going into the present state of SJSRY, it is better to examine the financial achievement under the old schemes, wherein the top down method of implementation was in practice.
Method of Implementation:
The CDS is made an independent body to keep free from local political interference. But, in reality in some cases compromises have been reached between project staff and ULBs' members, corporators etc. So much so in some cases CDSs have been sidelined and things take place as per the dictum of members of ULBs. This needs to be examined.
The SJSRY Scheme came into effect from 1.12.1997 and as per the guidelines issued by the Govt.of India, a survey was conducted and the BPL families identified, in the urban areas, by following a matrix of parameters pertaining to the economic status of the family. The Households having an annual income of not more than Rs.23,124/- were enlisted as below poverty line families. The survey was conducted during May 1998.
For the purpose of identifying an urban poor household living below poverty line, certain non-economic parameters also such as the type of construction of house, facilities available such as water and sanitation, education level and status of children, type of employment etc., were taken into account for assigning weight-age. The annual income for identification of BPL families as per 1991-92 prices was Rs.11,850/-. In view of the inflation and rise in the price index, the annual family income was revised to Rs.23,124/- as per the orders issued by the Govt. of India bearing No.K-11019/103/MIS/UPA/97 dated 8.10.97. As per the Govt of India order, it was stated that in the urban areas of Karnataka an individual is said to be living below the poverty line if his monthly income is less than Rs.385.40. Therefore, taking that monthly income as an index, annual family income of a BPL family household was calculated as follows:
Rs.385.40 * 12 months * 5 members (of an average family) = Rs.23,124/-
. The SJSRY consists of two special components namely,

2. Urban Wage Employment and programme (UWEP):
Most of the families living below poverty line are labour class in unorganized sections without job; these persons often fall into undesired social habits, which drag them into unlawful activities.
Hence, this programme is very much helpful in creating urban wage employment to the members of the BPL families. These works are selected and implemented by the BPL families; the works help in improving infrastructure facilities like roads, drainages, community halls, etc.
The total allocation under this component is Rs.20.31 lakhs and amount spent so far is Rs.20.31 lakhs.
The amount released under this component is to be spent on creating infrastructure facilities like Drains Anganwadi building mini water supply, slabs, roads water facility, well constructions etc.
