The Startup India Scheme aims to empower every Indian by encouraging them to start their own businesses. This initiative especially supports Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and women entrepreneurs who often face difficulties in setting up their enterprises. Understanding that getting loans and other essential support can be challenging, the government has crafted this scheme to foster a friendly and supportive environment for these aspiring business owners.
