In an effort to retain the migrants who have returned to the state during the lockdown, the state government of Uttarakhand has launched a scheme called Mukhya Mantri Swarojgar Yojana, to provide self-employment opportunities to youth and encourage skilled and unskilled artisans, handicrafts and unemployed youths to start their own business.
The scheme envisages to provide loans to these migrant workers so as to help them start their own ventures.
Under the scheme, state government will provide loans for projects worth ₹25 lakh in the manufacturing sector and ₹10 lakh in the service sector.
Loans will be provided by nationalised banks, scheduled commercial banks and co-operative banks.
