Making entrepreneurship accessible for all
The Rajasthan government has also taken a step to empower women entrepreneurs by expanding the benefits of Vishwakarma Udyami Protsahan Yojana, a scheme announced in the 2024- 2025 state budget.
Margin money assistance
To reduce upfront costs, the government is also offering margin money support of up to âš1,00,000 or 25% of the loan amount. This provision is particularly beneficial for women who lack collateral or capital to kickstart their entrepreneurial journey.
Big-ticket loans for women entrepreneurs
Women entrepreneurs, along with youth, can now apply for loans up to âš2,00,00,000 under the scheme to make borrowing more affordable. The state government will also provide interest subsidies. Along with that, women entrepreneurs will receive an extra 1% interest for loans above âš1,00,00,000.
Creating opportunities for women-led MSMEs
Officials believe that the scheme will also encourage women to set up their own manufacturing units or start-ups in emerging fields. By bridging the financial gap, the government is also hoping to foster a new generation of women entrepreneurs who will contribute to Rajasthanâs economic Road.
