CM launches Mukhyamantri Swarozgar Yojana in State

Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat inaugurated the Mukhyamantri Swarozgar Yojana here on Thursday. He directed the officials to ensure that information about this scheme reaches every village so that the youth can benefit from it. The scheme should be publicised widely through public representatives and district-level officials.

 The district magistrates should coordinate with bankers to ensure that the beneficiaries do not face any issues in securing loans under this scheme, said Rawat.

The Mukhyamantri Swarozgar Yojana has been started to provide self employment opportunities to enterprising youth and those returning to the state due to Covid-19. Applicants under this scheme will be provided loans through nationalised banks, scheduled commercial banks and cooperative banks.

Applicant should be aged minimum 18 years with no mandatory requirement for educational qualification. Finance will be made available under the scheme for industry, service and business sectors. The applicant or his/her family will be provided the benefit under this scheme only once. The selection of beneficiaries, if more applications are received, will be made on first come-first served basis considering the project viability. Those interested can apply online or manually at the district industry centres.

The industry directorate will be the nodal department for the execution of this scheme.
