The Assam government on Tuesday launched its biggest women entrepreneurship support scheme, offering Rs 10,000 as seed capital to boost self-employment opportunities for women.
The scheme, called 'Mukhya Mantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan', was launched by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in Behali in Biswanath district, and will be rolled out across the state in phases.
"Assam's biggest women entrepreneurship support scheme launched. 30 lakh women to benefit," Sarma said in a post on X after formally handing over the first cheques under the scheme.
