Objective Of the PMEGP Scheme

The following objectives will be fulfilled through the development of the Prime Minister’s Employment generation program:-

  • To generate employment opportunities in rural as well as urban areas of the country through setting up new self-employment ventures/projects/micro enterprises.
  • To bring together widely dispersed traditional artisans/ rural and urban unemployed youth and give them self-employment opportunities to the extent possible, at their place.
  • To provide continuous and sustainable employment to a large segment of traditional and prospective artisans and rural and urban unemployed youth in the country, so as to help arrest the migration of rural youth to urban areas.
  • To increase the wage earning capacity of artisans and contribute to increasing the growth rate of rural and urban employment.

Selection Procedure 

The identification of beneficiaries will be done at the district level by a Task Force consisting of representatives from KVIC/State KVIB and State DICs and Banks. The task force would be headed by the District Magistrate / Deputy Commissioner/Collector concerned. The Bankers should be involved right from the beginning to ensure that the bunching of applications is avoided. However, the applicants, who have already undergone training of at least 2 weeks under the Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) / Skill Development Programme (SDP) / Entrepreneurship cum Skil Development Programme (ESDP) or Vocational Training (VT) will be allowed to submit applications directly to Banks.

  • However, the Banks will refer the application to the Task Force for its consideration. Exaggeration in the cost of the project with a view only to avail of a higher amount of subsidy should not be allowed. KVIC will devise a scorecard in consultation with SBI and RBI, and forward it to the District Level Task Force and other State/District functionaries. This scoreboard will form the basis for the selection of beneficiaries.
  • This scorecard will also be displayed on the websites of KVIC and the Ministry. The selection process should be transparent, objective and fair, and Panchayati Raj Institutions should be involved in the selection process.
