Mukhyamantri Swavalamban Yojana(MSY)

There is a great need to promote self-employment, whether there is a lack of adequate employment in both the government sector or the private sector. The state government of Himachal Pradesh has taken the step in this direction and announced a new scheme for the youth of the state. These projects will not only explore the possibilities of self-employment but will also encourage all those related to it. In this way, the scheme named Mukhyamantri Swavalamban (MSY) will explore the possibility of new job in the field of self-employment. Several schemes have been announced along with this scheme, especially the Housing Benefit Scheme which will work at the regional level just like the Ujjwala scheme of Central.

Launch details

The first announcement related to the scheme was announced on May 25, 2018 by Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur. Himachal’s cabinet has also said that the implementation of the scheme will be started as soon as possible.

Main benefits of the plan

Young people wandering in search of employment do not get employment according to their merit or many times the possibility is not made, but if they put their focus on self-employment, the job loss can be reduced to a great extent. With the implementation of this project, the state youth will get a lot of help in setting up their business.

Key Features of the Scheme
