Mukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojana (Self-Employment Scheme)

Why it matters

Offers subsidised loans for agriculture and allied self-employment ventures, helping migrants who returned to Uttarakhand during COVID stay and build farm-based livelihoods.

What you get

The Mukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojana was launched to help retain migrants who returned to Uttarakhand's villages during the COVID-19 lockdown by enabling them to set up self-employment ventures, including agriculture and allied activities such as dairy, poultry, horticulture nurseries, and food processing units. The scheme provides project-linked bank loans with a state subsidy component, reducing the effective cost of capital for first-time rural entrepreneurs and returning migrants who want to build a farm-based or agri-allied livelihood rather than re-migrate for work.
