The proposals were presented by the Principal Secretaries/Secretaries of the respective States, along with the State Mission Directors/CEOs of the SRLMs and representatives of the proposed incubator institutions.
Together, the four programmes are proposed to support 600+ high-potential rural enterprises through structured interventions in business strategy, mentoring, financial planning, formalisation, technology adoption, market access and access to finance.
The Incubator Sub-Scheme builds on the experience of four completed incubator programmes in Assam, Bihar, West Bengal and Karnataka, which supported over 600 SHG enterprises .
The Committee also considered proposals for expansion of the Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP) in West Bengal and Goa, aimed at further strengthening the rural non-farm entrepreneurship ecosystem and enabling more SHG members to establish and grow sustainable enterprises.
