Authors

Abstract

As India is growing rapidly, hopes, aspirations and expectations of a large group of potential entrepreneurs, particularly Women, Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), are rising. They want to set up an enterprise of their own to allow themselves to thrive and grow. Such entrepreneurs are spread across country and are bubbling with ideas on what they can do for themselves and their families. The Stand-up India scheme envisages to facilitate the dreams of aspiring SC, ST and women entrepreneurs into reality by supporting their energy and enthusiasm and removing hurdles from their path.

Stand-up India Scheme was launched on April 05, 2016 to promote entrepreneurship at grassroots level focusing on economic empowerment and job creation. The scheme is based on recognition of the challenges faced by SC, ST and women entrepreneurs in setting up enterprises, obtaining loans and other support needed from time to time for succeeding in business. The scheme therefore endeavours to create an ecosystem which facilitates and continues to provide a supportive environment for doing business. The scheme seeks to give access to loans from bank branches to borrowers to help them set up their own enterprise.
