Eligibility: Those in the age group of 18 to 60 years residing within the limits of urban local bodies are eligible to demand and get employment in the identified segments.

Categories of works under the scheme: The tasks to be carried out under the scheme have been clubbed mainly under eight heads. These include environment protection, water conservation, heritage conservation, removal of encroachments and illegal boards, hoardings and banners, stopping defacement of property and service-related works.
