Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), launched on 1 December 1997, merged three earlier urban poverty programmes—Nehru Rozgar Yojana (NRY), Urban Basic Services for the Poor (UBSP) and the Prime Minister’s Integrated Urban Poverty Eradication Programme (PMIUPEP). It did not subsume the Prime Minister’s Rozgar Yojana (PMRY), so option (d) is the exclusion.
