Chairman Kumar remarked that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, PMEGP has become a powerful tool for fostering employment and self-reliance in India’s villages. He described the scheme as more than financial assistance—calling it a social movement connecting youth, women, and artisans with entrepreneurship opportunities.

Subsidies were distributed across six regions:

Central Zone (Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand): Rs 720 million for 2,403 projects, against Rs 2.18 billion in loans.

West Zone (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa): Rs 260 million for 722 projects, alongside Rs 820 million in loans.

Since inception, the PMEGP scheme has supported the creation of over 1.018 million micro-enterprises, securing loans of Rs 733.48 billion and subsidy assistance of Rs 271.66 billion. The programme has generated direct and indirect employment for more than 9 million people, making it a flagship initiative in promoting self-employment and rural entrepreneurship.

This latest round of subsidy disbursement reaffirms KVIC’s pivotal role in catalysing economic development at the grassroots level. By empowering underserved communities with financial and institutional support, the PMEGP continues to realise the vision of a self-reliant and economically vibrant India.
