Explanation
The Nehru Rozgar Yojana was launched by the Central Government in October 1989 with the specific objective of providing employment opportunities to the unemployed and underemployed urban poor. It consisted of three distinct components designed to address different needs of the urban population.
First, the Scheme of Urban Micro Enterprises focused on providing training and financial assistance to help the urban poor set up self employment ventures. Second, the Scheme of Urban Wage Employment aimed at providing basic physical amenities in low income neighborhoods while creating wage labor opportunities. Third, the Scheme of Housing and Shelter Upgradation provided technical and financial support for the improvement of dwelling units.
While the other options like the Integrated Rural Development Programme and Jawahar Rozgar Yojana were primarily rural centric, the Nehru Rozgar Yojana was specifically designed for urban development. Prime Ministers Rozgar Yojana, launched later in 1993, focused mainly on providing self employment to educated unemployed youth across both rural and urban areas. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
