PM Modi said that the Mudra Yojana is playing an important role in increasing employment and self-employment opportunities in the tourism sector.
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that about 38 crore people have benefited from the government's flagship Mudra scheme.
Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) provides loans up to ₹10 lakh to non-corporate, non-agriculture small/micro enterprises.
“So far 38 crore Mudra loans have been given across the country. About eight crore youth have become entrepreneurs for the first time.
PM Modi said that the Mudra Yojana is playing an important role in increasing employment and self-employment opportunities in the tourism sector.
Citing examples of shops, dhabas, guest houses and homestays, he said loans up to Rs 10 lakh were being provided to such businesses without any guarantee.
PM Modi told that the share of women and youth of SC / ST / OBC category is the highest.
Addressing the gathering, PM Modi said that massive investment in the hills of Uttarakhand is creating new employment opportunities for the youth of the state, who earlier had to migrate to big cities in search of livelihood.
He said, "This is the nectar of wonderful possibilities for the youth of India and urged the youth to accelerate India's development through their services."
The Prime Minister also told teachers to be the medium of big change. He said, “The massive investment in the infrastructure sector in Uttarakhand is not only increasing connectivity to remote villages, but also creating new employment and self-employment opportunities for the youth near their homes, so that the youth of the state return to their villages."
The Prime Minister stressed on breaking the old saying that the water and youth of the mountains are of no use to the mountains. Highlighting new opportunities for employment and self-employment being created in the hilly areas, he said, “It is the constant effort of the Central Government that the youth of Uttarakhand return to their villages.”
Highlighting the investment in infrastructure development in Uttarakhand, PM Modi said that laying of new roads and rail lines is not only increasing connectivity but also creating many employment opportunities.
He said job opportunities are being boosted everywhere and cited the example of construction workers, engineers, raw material industries and shops.
PM Modi launched the first phase of 'Rozgar Mela' on October 22, 2022, where appointment letters were handed over to over 75,000 fresh recruits.
This marked the beginning of a campaign to provide 10 lakh government jobs. Since then, PM Modi has addressed similar job fairs in several states including Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir and Maharashtra.
The recruitments are done by Central Ministries and Departments, recruitment agencies like UPSC, SSC and Railway Recruitment Board.
