Correct Answer: Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana.

The first program aimed at creating self-employment opportunities in urban areas in India was the Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY).

The SJSRY was launched in 1997 by the Government of India with the objective of alleviating poverty and unemployment in urban areas by providing self-employment opportunities to the urban poor. The program aimed to provide skill training, credit facilities, and other forms of assistance to individuals or groups interested in setting up self-employment ventures or micro-enterprises. The SJSRY also emphasized the empowerment of women and targeted specific groups such as the urban poor, educated unemployed, and urban slum dwellers.
