The National Urban Livelihood Mission addresses urban poverty alleviation by aiming to reduce occupational vulnerability, and strengthening community-building and representation of the urban poor. It works through 6 components, of which Social Mobilisation and Institution Development has been looked at in this study. This component deals with the formation and federation of Self-Help Groups (Sakhi Mandals), which are thrift and credit groups formed by a group of 10 women; and establishing City Livelihood Centres(CLC) which are meant to be business service centres for the urban poor. In Ahmedabad, NULM is executed by the Urban Community Development(UCD) department.
