Overview
Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarojgar Yojana (MMYSY) is a self-employment grant scheme run by the Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh. It exists for young residents of the state who want to build their own enterprise but have no way to arrange the capital or the financial backing to begin.
Support is not just money. A beneficiary also gets a guarantee that makes it easier to access the resources the venture needs, training matched to the chosen line of work, and follow-up support once the enterprise is up and running, so the business has a better chance of settling into steady operation.
Three routes to self-employment are covered — industry, service and business. Whichever one an applicant picks, the aim is the same: convert skills the person already has into a working venture that generates income, which in turn supports the individual's independence and the state's economic progress.
The grant amount is not fixed and varies, so the detailed scheme guidelines are the place to check what a particular proposal can expect.
