What is Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme
Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme was launched by Telangana government in March 2025 under G.O. Ms. No. 7 to turn unemployed youth into small business owners. Instead of giving one-time grants, the scheme provides bank-linked concessional loans with heavy government subsidy, so young people can buy the assets they need to start a micro-enterprise.
The scheme is run through welfare corporations for SC, ST, BC, and minority communities. The expected outlay is around ₹6,000 crore, and the scheme is planned to cover about 5 lakh youth across 119 Assembly constituencies of the state.
The same OBMMS portal also handles other youth schemes like the Telangana Driver Empowerment Programme.
