Chief Minister's ELEVATE Programme — Agriculture Component
The Chief Minister's ELEVATE programme is Meghalaya's flagship entrepreneurship promotion initiative, delivered through the PRIME Meghalaya single-window portal, supporting aspiring entrepreneurs across sectors including agriculture, animal husbandry, and tourism. For agriculture-linked ventures, the state provides financial assistance of 35% to 75% of the project cost as a capital subsidy, plus operational subsidy in the form of EMI co-payment support for a defined period, easing the loan-repayment burden during a new enterprise's early years. The programme also bundles handholding support — training, skill development, and capacity-building delivered by relevant government departments — alongside the financial assistance, and allows applicants to select and apply for any eligible business venture through one common online portal rather than navigating multiple departmental schemes separately.
View schemeIntegrated Basin Development and Livelihood Promotion (IBDLP) — Agriculture & Livestock Livelihoods
Launched in 2012 as Meghalaya's flagship development programme, the Integrated Basin Development and Livelihood Promotion (IBDLP) programme aims to rejuvenate the state's natural water-basin resources while empowering entrepreneurial capacity across nine identified livelihood sectors: apiculture, aquaculture, forestry and plantation crops, horticulture, livestock, rural energy, sericulture, tourism, and water. Implemented through the Meghalaya Basin Development Authority (MBDA) under the overall direction of a Basin Development Council headed by the Chief Minister, the programme provides funding, mentoring and market linkage support to farmers and rural entrepreneurs taking up entrepreneur-led ventures in these sectors, with project selection and resource allocation organised around natural river-basin units rather than purely administrative boundaries.
View schemeMeghalaya Any Business Venture (Open Ventures) Scheme
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.
View schemeMukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojana (Self-Employment Scheme)
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.
