Meghalaya Any Business Venture (Open Ventures) Scheme

Why it matters

If your farm-based business idea doesn't fit a pre-defined scheme category, this open-category window still lets you apply for capital subsidy support.

What you get

Recognising that not every viable rural enterprise fits neatly into a pre-defined scheme category, the Meghalaya "Any Business Venture" (Open Ventures) scheme under the PRIME Meghalaya platform allows individual entrepreneurs and registered/unregistered entities — including farmers proposing novel agri-business, food-processing, or farm-allied ventures — to apply for capital and operational subsidy support through the same single-window portal used for the Chief Minister's ELEVATE programme's named schemes. This open-category route ensures innovative or hybrid farm-business ideas that span multiple sectors (for example, combined agro-tourism plus organic produce sales, or a novel value-addition unit) are not excluded simply because they don't match an existing scheme template.

Eligibility criteria

• Must be a Meghalaya resident or registered entity proposing a viable business venture not covered by an existing named scheme
• Project must demonstrate technical and financial viability through appraisal
• Subject to the same subsidy norms and appraisal process as other PRIME Meghalaya schemes
