National Slum Development Programme (NSDP)

The objective of NSDP was the upgradation of urban slums by providing physical amenities like water supply, storm water drains, community bath, widening and paving of existing lanes, sewers, community latrines, street lights etc. Besides, funds could also be used for provision of community infrastructure and social amenities such as pre-school education, non-formal education, adult education, maternity, child health and primary health care including immunization etc. 


The programme also had a component of shelter upgradation as well as improvement and convergence of different social sector programmes through creation of sustainable support systems. The focus was to be on community infrastructure, provision of shelter, empowerment of urban poor women, training, skill up gradation and advocacy and involvement of NGOs, CBOs, private institutions and other bodies. NSDP was subsumed under Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and was discontinued from the financial year 2005-2006.
