Rajiv Gandhi Udyami Mitra Yojana (RGUMY) is a scheme
of handholding of prospective first generation entrepreneurs. The
objective of the Scheme is to provide handholding support and assistance
to the potential first generation entrepreneurs, who have already
successfully completed or are undergoing Entrepreneurship Development
Training Programme (EDP)/Skill Development Training Programme
(SDP)/Entrepreneurship cum Skill Development Training Programme
(ESDP)/Vocational Training Programmes (VT), through the selected lead
agencies i.e. `Udyami Mitras’. This is to assist them in the
establishment and management of new enterprise, in dealing with various
procedural and legal hurdles and in completion of various formalities
required for setting up and running of the enterprise. Another objective
of the Scheme is to provide information, support, guidance and
assistance to first generation entrepreneurs as well as other existing
entrepreneurs through an ‘Udyami Helpline’ (a Call Centre for MSMEs
having toll free number 1800-180-6763), to guide them regarding various
promotional schemes of the Government, procedural formalities required
for setting up and running of the enterprise and help them in accessing
Bank credit etc. Prospective entrepreneurs wanting to set up clean
technology industries may seek handholding assistance of Udyami Mitras
under RGUMY. However, no specific proposal to assist entrepreneurs
wanting to set up clean technology industries under RGUMY is before the
Government.
Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) conducts various training
programmes for agro-based rural industries, including Entrepreneurship
Development Programmes for setting up micro-enterprises in the non-farm
sector under the Prime Minister’s Employment Programme (PMEGP). These
include training programmes for processing of organic farm produce.
