The correct answer is option 2, Nehru Rozgar Yojana. This scheme of the Indian government was established to offer opportunities for self-employment, wage employment and housing upgradation to unemployed and under-employed urban poor. The scheme is divided into three sub-parts: Urban Micro Enterprises, Urban Wage Employment and Housing and Shelter Upgradation, which directly connects to the question statement.

Option 1, Integrated Rural Development Programme, is incorrect as it deals primarily with rural development, not urban.

Option 3, Jawahar Rozgar Yojana, is incorrect as it is a rural employment scheme, not urban.

Option 4, Prime Minister’s Rozgar Yojana, is incorrect as it is a scheme to provide self-employment to educated unemployed youth of India, not specifically tackling urban micro enterprises, wage employment, or housing upgrades.
