We all know from the last year we are facing a pandemic situation and till now it is not normalized. Many laborers who worked out of the states returned to their homes and do not have any work.

CMEPG (Chief Minister Self Employment Scheme) is the scheme introduced by Karnataka Government to create self-employment opportunities in the state. The aspirants from the rural area will be benefited from this scheme. The state government will provide them a subsidy on loan to start a new business. The scheme aims to support the bussing entrepreneurs from the rural territories. KVIB (Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries Board) District Officers and DIC (Joint Director of Department of Industries and Commerce) have the consultation with the government in this project. 

The state government has decided to uplift the youth in rural areas and give them chance to carry out their start-up projects. This will also help the development of the rural areas and reduce the flow of extra manpower coming to the urban areas. 

For long, our rural areas are due for development and if with the help of the government if they become independent then they will not need to move to the urban areas as there will be some balance in the advancement and progress of the state. The vision behind setting up this scheme is very simple and it is encouraging to those who are always looking to be on their own.

The interested entrepreneurs will get the loan from banks and the margin money will be provided by the Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries Board/District Industries Centers. The entrepreneur will have a loan account and the margin money will be adjusted from this account only after 3 years of successful establishment and running of the business. The progress will be governed by the board.
