Gadiya Lohar Raw Material Purchase Grant — ₹10,000 for Rajasthan Artisans — Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility for this scheme rests on two conditions, and both are mandatory.

• Domicile: the applicant must be a native of Rajasthan.
• Community: the applicant must belong to the Gadia Lohar community.

Applicants should be ready to establish both points with documents when they apply, since the District Social Welfare Office verifies native status in Rajasthan and Gadia Lohar community membership before any approval is given. A caste certificate confirming Gadia Lohar status and proof of residence are therefore central to the file.

The scheme is aimed at community members who need raw materials for their business, whether that business is the traditional blacksmithing trade or another small craft-related activity. The notified conditions cover domicile and community; applicants should check with the staff handling scheme applications at their District Social Welfare Office if they are unsure how a particular document is treated.

Gadiya Lohar Raw Material Purchase Grant — ₹10,000 for Rajasthan Artisans is open to startups at any stage. The programme is targeted at startups registered in Rajasthan. Applicants should be registered as proprietorship and pre incorporation.
