Who We Are?

About the Organization:

Aligned with the objectives of the Deen Dayal Antodya Yojna (DAY)-National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM), City Livelihood Centre (CLC), Shahari Aajivika Kendra Sansthan (Nagar Nigam Jaipur) Jaipur was started on 1^st May 2014, as India’s first pilot project under DAY- NULM. The main objective behind starting this centre was to address issues related to urban poverty by providing skilled wage employment opportunities to the urban households. Strengthening the grass root level institutions for the urban poor was one of the main agenda of CLC.
The City Livelihood Centre was registered under the Rajasthan Society Act 1958, to help the urban poor, BPL families and SHG’s market their product in a better way and help them to improve the quality of their services. Other than that the focus was also on providing other services related to micro-enterprising like accounting & legal awareness, steps for registration and licensing, strategy for marketing and so on.
The City Livelihood Centre (CLC) basically acts as a bridge between the service provider and the service seeker. Service provider being the urban poor who provide various essential services like security, carpentry, gardening, construction, plumbing, electrical work, health care support, housekeeping and the service seeker are the higher income groups who seek such services on a regular basis.

Vision and Mission of City Livelihood Centre

A).Vision:
To create a society where the youth are engaged into productive and sustainable livelihood activities where they enjoy secure, motivating and enlightened lives in an environment that is responsive to promote their social, economic and all round development.
B).Mission:
To channelize the potential of the youth and the urban poor towards sustainable livelihood by training them with necessary skill set and providing them with opportunities for overall growth.

Focus Area of CLC:

With increasing economic opportunities in urban areas, a large population migrates from the rural villages to the city side in search of a stable employment and income. But these rural people who migrate to the urban cities lack the basic skill sets to survive in the competitive market. Lack of technical skills, knowledge and expertise makes it difficult for the urban poor to find a long term employment with a fixed income.
Keeping in mind the fact that every village, every city plays an important role in contributing towards the GDP of a nation, it becomes a necessity to train and develop the urban human capital, to ensure their optimum involvement in the economic activities.
To develop the growing urban unskilled population, the City Livelihood Centre has accordingly aligned its strategic focus areas in line with the broader areas of National Urban Livelihood Mission to tap the unskilled human capital in the urban areas and train them with effective skills and competencies to empower them to make a sustainable living.
