Uttarakhand Veer Udhyami Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Uttarakhand Government launched the Veer Udyami Scheme under the Mukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojana 2.0 to help ex-servicemen and Agniveers start their own businesses with confidence. The scheme is designed to make starting a business less risky for retirees by providing both financial support and guidance.

Soldiers planning manufacturing projects can secure bank loans of up to Rs 25 lakh, while those interested in service or trade businesses can access loans up to Rs 10 lakh. On top of this, the government provides subsidies on these loans, which vary depending on the business location. Hill areas (categories A and B) receive higher support, with subsidies ranging from 30% for small projects to 20% for larger ones, while plain areas (categories C and D) get 15–25%. Under the Veer Udyami Scheme, veterans also benefit from an additional 5% booster subsidy, making the financial backing even more appealing. However, the scheme also possesses the margin money criteria, which is a minimum of 10 per cent of the total project cost for General categories, while 5% for others.

This scheme aims to empower veterans, help them gain valuable work experience, and secure their future by easing the risks of starting a new business.
