Benefits
The main aim of the scheme is to provide a high-quality business toolkit so beneficiaries can take up profitable small business activities. With these tools, eligible people can achieve financial independence and become self-sufficient. The toolkit is given free of cost and covers a range of trades, including tailoring, embroidery, mobile repairing, beauty parlour, cobbler work and many more.
Since the support is given in kind, the beneficiary gets the actual equipment needed to begin work. This removes the need to arrange money for tools and makes it easier to start earning. For related details on the broader scheme, refer to Manav Garima Yojana Gujarat on this website.
