The Government of India has always aimed to improve the livelihood and welfare of workers, especially those in the unorganized sector. In this pursuit, the E-Shram Card initiative was launched by the Ministry of Labour and Employment in August 2021. This ambitious project seeks to create a comprehensive national database of unorganized workers and provide them with a Universal Account Number (UAN), thus enabling better implementation of welfare schemes and benefits.
What is the E-Shram Card?
The E-Shram Card is a unique identity card issued to unorganized workers in India. It is part of the E-Shram Portal, which is India’s first national database of unorganized workers, including gig workers, street vendors, construction workers, domestic helpers, agricultural laborers, and others. Each registered worker receives a 12-digit Universal Account Number (UAN) that remains valid across India.
This database aims to streamline government benefits, making sure they reach the right people directly and efficiently.
Objectives of the E-Shram Scheme
The main objectives of the E-Shram initiative are:
Creating a centralized database of unorganized workers for better delivery of welfare schemes.
Improving access to social security schemes such as insurance, pension, and employment benefits.
Helping the government plan policy decisions based on accurate data.
Enhancing job opportunities and providing skill development support.
Who Can Register for the E-Shram Card?
The E-Shram Card is designed for individuals working in the unorganized sector. To register, the applicant must:
Be an Indian citizen aged between 16 and 59 years.
Not be a member of EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation), ESIC (Employees’ State Insurance Corporation), or NPS (National Pension System).
Be employed in informal jobs like construction, agriculture, fishing, hawking, domestic work, etc.
How to Apply for the E-Shram Card?
The application process is simple and free of cost. It can be done in three ways:
Self-registration through the official portal: https://eshram.gov.in
Through Common Service Centres (CSCs) available across the country.
With the help of State Government outreach teams.
To register, workers need:
Aadhaar Number
Mobile number linked with Aadhaar
Bank account details
Benefits of the E-Shram Card
The E-Shram Card offers several direct and indirect benefits to registered workers:
Accidental Insurance: Registered workers are eligible for ₹2 lakh accident insurance under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY).
Direct benefit transfer (DBT): During crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, financial aid is directly credited to the worker’s account.
Access to social welfare schemes: Easier access to schemes like PM-KISAN, Atmanirbhar Bharat Rojgar Yojana, and more.
Portability of benefits: Workers moving between states can still access benefits using their UAN.
Skill development opportunities: The card helps identify skilled and semi-skilled workers for training and job placements.
Challenges and Future Outlook
Despite its positive impact, the E-Shram initiative faces challenges like lack of awareness among rural populations, digital illiteracy, and difficulties in updating worker information. Moreover, coordination between central and state governments needs to be seamless to avoid data duplication.
However, the government is continuously working to improve these systems and integrate E-Shram data with various schemes. In the future, the E-Shram Card could become a central tool for labor reforms and ensure that “no worker is left behind.”
Conclusion
The E-Shram Card is a revolutionary step toward formalizing India’s unorganized workforce and bringing them under a security net. By bridging the gap between the government and workers, it ensures inclusiveness, dignity, and protection. With continuous efforts and public participation, the E-Shram scheme has the potential to transform millions of lives across the country.

The Government of India has launched several welfare schemes to support workers in the unorganized sector who often lack access to formal social security. Two major initiatives are the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan (PM-SYM) and the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) & Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY). These schemes aim to provide a steady pension and affordable life/accident insurance coverage to low-income individuals.
Objective: PM-SYM is a voluntary and contributory pension scheme for unorganized workers like street vendors, rickshaw pullers, construction workers, domestic workers, etc. It guarantees a minimum monthly pension of ₹3000 after the age of 60.
The ₹3000 pension under PM-SYM and the ₹2 lakh insurance schemes (PMJJBY & PMSBY) are crucial tools in the Indian government’s social security net. Together, they aim to protect millions of workers who otherwise face uncertain futures due to lack of savings or protection against accidents or premature death. These schemes are a major step toward inclusive development and financial safety for India’s vast unorganized workforce.
In today’s evolving economic landscape, mobility is becoming increasingly crucial for business success. Recognizing this, many governments around the world — including in developing economies — have introduced various schemes and subsidies to encourage individuals, especially entrepreneurs and small business owners, to purchase vehicles like bikes and cars. These schemes are often structured to reduce financial burden, enhance income generation, and stimulate local economies. With a proper strategy, this financial support can be smartly leveraged for business expansion, employment generation, and better service delivery.
Understanding Government Support for Vehicle Purchase
Government support for purchasing vehicles typically comes in the form of subsidies, low-interest loans, direct cash benefits, or tax incentives. These are especially targeted toward:
The primary objective is to empower individuals who can then use these vehicles as tools to create sustainable income. Bikes and cars can be used for delivery services, taxi businesses, courier operations, agriculture-related transport, or even as a commuting solution for businesses with travel-based needs.
Types of Government Schemes for Vehicle Purchase
1. Subsidies and Grants
Many governments provide direct subsidies on electric bikes and vehicles to promote green mobility. These subsidies can reduce the on-road cost significantly, allowing businesses to invest in mobility solutions at a reduced capital cost.
2. Low-Interest Loans and EMI Options
Financial institutions, often supported by the government, offer low-interest loans under schemes designed for rural upliftment or small businesses. In some cases, these loans come with a moratorium period and repayment flexibility.
3. Startup and Entrepreneurship Programs
Schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (in India) or similar international programs provide financial aid for self-employment. Buying a vehicle for commercial use is often covered under such schemes.
4. Women Empowerment Schemes
Some programs provide extra support to women entrepreneurs, enabling them to own vehicles for starting cab services, mobile businesses, or rural transportation services.
5. Special State-Level Schemes
In many regions, state governments offer additional benefits, especially for electric vehicles or for employment generation in backward areas. These often cover both two-wheelers and four-wheelers.
Using the Vehicle for Business: Opportunities and Ideas
Once a bike or car is purchased with government financial support, the key is to use it effectively. Here are some ways it can be converted into a business opportunity:
1. Delivery and Logistics Services
With the rise of e-commerce, demand for last-mile delivery has exploded. Owning a two-wheeler or small car opens doors to work with platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy, Zomato, or run independent courier services. Many rural entrepreneurs are also providing delivery services for local businesses, pharmacies, and grocery stores.
2. Ride-Sharing and Taxi Services
Ride-sharing platforms like Uber, Ola, or Bolt offer income opportunities to individuals with their own vehicles. Some even offer special onboarding incentives for electric vehicles or for drivers from underrepresented groups.
3. Mobile Business Units
Small cars or vans can be converted into mobile shops — such as food vans, salons on wheels, or mobile libraries. Bikes with delivery boxes can also serve niche markets like tiffin delivery or mobile repair services.
4. Rural Transport and Shuttle Services
In remote areas, public transportation is limited. A shared taxi or bike-taxi service can serve as an affordable option for locals, while also being a stable business for the vehicle owner.
5. Field-Based Service Jobs
Professionals such as electricians, plumbers, tutors, or medical representatives can benefit from owning a vehicle for easier client access. A reliable mode of transport can help increase the number of daily service calls, thereby increasing revenue.
6. Agricultural Use and Allied Sectors
Vehicles can be used to transport produce from farms to markets, reducing reliance on third parties and improving profitability. Some entrepreneurs also offer vehicle rental services for short-term agricultural transport.
Documentation and Planning
To make the most of such schemes, applicants usually need to provide:
Proof of identity and address
Business plan or income generation proposal
Quotation from a vehicle dealer
Bank statements and CIBIL score (in case of loans)
Proof of eligibility (for special categories like women, SC/ST, etc.)
It is important to plan the use of the vehicle in alignment with the business goal. Mapping out potential customers, target markets, and a basic financial forecast can greatly improve the chances of loan or grant approval.
Real-Life Success Stories
Many small entrepreneurs have leveraged these opportunities to build thriving businesses. A young man in Bihar, for example, started a bike courier service using a Mudra loan and now employs five riders. A woman in Maharashtra used a subsidy to purchase a small car and began offering school drop-off and pick-up services in her locality. These are not isolated cases — such schemes have helped thousands to transition from unemployment to entrepreneurship.
Challenges and How to Overcome Them
Despite the opportunities, challenges exist. Lack of awareness, bureaucratic delays, and documentation issues can slow down the process. To overcome these, it’s advisable to:
Consult with local business development officers or banks
Join local entrepreneur groups for shared knowledge
Use digital platforms that guide through government schemes
Approach NGOs or self-help groups that facilitate applications
The government’s push toward self-employment and economic development through vehicle purchase schemes is a golden opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs. A bike or car, when used creatively, becomes more than a mode of transport — it becomes a tool for transformation. Whether it’s for delivery, transport, or mobile services, the integration of government support and entrepreneurial vision can lead to sustainable income and community growth. With increasing digital access and mobility demand, now is the perfect time for individuals to step up, take advantage of these schemes, and drive their way to business success.
In recent years, India has witnessed rapid growth in the automobile industry. With increasing demand for both personal and commercial vehicles, especially two-wheelers and small cars, aspiring entrepreneurs have a golden opportunity to tap into this booming market. If you are planning to start a small business by purchasing a bike or a car and eventually converting it into a self-employment opportunity, this guide will help you understand the roadmap to success—along with information on government schemes that can support you with up to ₹1.5 lakh in assistance.
Business Idea: Car or Bike-Based Self-Employment
This business plan revolves around the purchase of a two-wheeler or four-wheeler (depending on your budget and location) and using it for generating income. Here are a few ideas for how one can earn using a vehicle:
Food or grocery delivery (via Zomato, Swiggy, Dunzo, Blinkit, etc.)
Courier service or e-commerce deliveries
Bike taxi service (Rapido or Ola Bike)
Rental services for tourists
2. Car-Based Business Ideas
Cab service (Uber, Ola)
Rental or self-drive car service
Tourist taxi for local and outstation trips
School van service or staff pickup & drop
Package delivery for logistics companies
This business plan works best for individuals in urban or semi-urban areas, but rural opportunities are also growing fast, especially with improved roads and connectivity.
Step-by-Step Business Plan
Here’s a simple yet effective plan to start your own car/bike purchase-based business.
Step 1: Decide the Business Model
Choose how you want to use the vehicle. For example:
Daily food delivery on a bike
Ola cab service with a car
Bike taxi for students and office-goers
Step 2: Market Research
Study your local area:
Are there already too many delivery agents or cabs?
Is there a need for a new service?
What are people struggling with? (E.g., lack of reliable transport)
Step 3: Financial Planning
Expenses:
Vehicle cost: ₹80,000–₹1,20,000 for a bike; ₹4–₹7 lakh for a car
Insurance and registration
Fuel and maintenance
EMI (if bought on loan)
Income:
Daily earnings can range from ₹500–₹1500 depending on the work
Monthly earnings after fuel and EMI can still be ₹15,000–₹25,000
Step 4: Funding Options
This is where government schemes like the PMEGP, Stand-Up India, and Mudra Yojana come in handy. Many of these schemes offer loans and subsidies up to ₹1.5 lakh or more.
Government Schemes Offering Up to ₹1.5 Lakh Support
The Indian government has launched several schemes to support self-employment and small businesses. These include loans and subsidies that can help you buy your first car or bike for business.
1. Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY)
Offers loans up to ₹10 lakh to non-corporate, non-farm small businesses.
Shishu category is perfect for beginners – loans up to ₹50,000.
Kishore – loans from ₹50,001 to ₹5 lakh.
Tarun – loans from ₹5 to ₹10 lakh.
Interest rates: Around 8–12%, no collateral needed.
Repayment tenure: 3–5 years.
Can be used to buy a bike or car for commercial use.
Starting a car or bike-based business is a smart move in today’s fast-moving economy. With opportunities in delivery, transport, and rentals, even a single vehicle can create a stable income source. What’s more, government support of up to ₹1.5 lakh through schemes like PMEGP and Mudra Yojana makes it easier for new entrepreneurs to get started.
If you have the drive to work hard and manage your resources well, this simple business model can be your first step towards becoming a successful self-employed individual—or even growing into a fleet owner in the future.

Home-based businesses are more than just a source of income for women—they are a gateway to self-respect, growth, and empowerment. With a bit of creativity, dedication, and support, women can turn small ideas into successful ventures. Whether it’s cooking, teaching, crafting, or freelancing, every woman has a unique skill that can be turned into a business opportunity.
The journey may not always be easy, but with the right knowledge, support, and belief in oneself, women can thrive as entrepreneurs from the comfort of their homes. Encouraging women to start small businesses is not just about economics—it’s about building a stronger, more inclusive society where every woman has the chance to shine.
Small businesses have become a cornerstone for empowering women, particularly those who want to balance family responsibilities with earning an income. As traditional employment options may not always be flexible or accessible, more women are embracing the opportunity to run small, home-based businesses that not only offer financial independence but also allow for creativity and self-expression. Among the many small business opportunities for women, agarbathi (incense stick) making, soap making, and paper plate making are highly viable options. These businesses require relatively low capital investment and can be scaled according to market demand.
1. Agarbathi (Incense Stick) Making Business
Agarbathi making is a lucrative small business idea, particularly in regions where incense sticks are used widely for religious, spiritual, and aromatic purposes. The demand for incense sticks is high, and it can be marketed in local markets, religious places, online platforms, and even exported.
Preparing the Bamboo Sticks: Cut the bamboo sticks to the desired length (usually around 9 inches).
Making the Paste: Mix charcoal powder, aromatic oils, and other ingredients to form a paste. The paste should be smooth and adhesive.
Coating the Sticks: Dip the bamboo sticks into the paste, ensuring that it is evenly coated.
Drying the Sticks: After coating, the sticks need to be dried. This can be done by placing them in a well-ventilated area, preferably with sunlight.
Packaging: Once the incense sticks are completely dry, they are packaged in attractive boxes or wrappers for sale.
Market Potential:
Target Audience: Religious institutions, individuals who practice meditation or yoga, and households that use incense for fragrance.
Sales Channels: Local retail stores, online platforms (like Amazon, Etsy), and bulk orders for religious organizations.
Profitability: Agarbathi making requires minimal capital investment in raw materials. With the right marketing strategy and quality production, the business can quickly turn profitable.
Challenges and Tips:
Quality Control: Maintaining the quality of the fragrance and the consistency of the sticks is crucial.
Marketing: As the business grows, establishing a unique fragrance or offering eco-friendly, chemical-free incense sticks could be a selling point.
Competition: While there is significant demand for agarbathis, the market can also be competitive. Niche products like premium incense sticks or those made with organic ingredients can help stand out.
2. Soap Making Business
The soap-making business is a popular choice for small-scale entrepreneurs, especially women who are interested in working from home. The demand for handmade soaps has risen due to growing awareness about harmful chemicals in commercial soap products and the desire for organic and natural alternatives.
Starting the Soap Making Business:
Materials Needed:
Soap base (glycerin, shea butter, or other natural bases)
Essential oils (lavender, rose, tea tree, etc.)
Natural colorants (like herbs, clays, or natural pigments)
Additives (such as aloe vera, honey, oats, or exfoliants)
Molds
Packaging materials (boxes, wrappers, labels)
Step-by-Step Process:
Melting the Soap Base: Choose a base that aligns with your target market’s needs (e.g., glycerin for sensitive skin, shea butter for moisturizing properties).
Adding Fragrance and Color: Once the base is melted, add your essential oils and natural colorants. You can also include beneficial additives like honey or oats.
Pouring into Molds: Pour the mixture into molds and let it cool and solidify. The molds can be of different shapes to make your soaps more attractive.
Packaging: After the soap has fully cooled and hardened, it can be removed from the molds and wrapped in attractive packaging.
Market Potential:
Target Audience: People who prefer handmade, natural, and eco-friendly products. This includes people with sensitive skin, those seeking organic alternatives, and individuals who are passionate about sustainability.
Sales Channels: Local farmers’ markets, online stores (like Etsy or Instagram), retail partnerships, and even selling directly to spas or beauty salons.
Profitability: The initial investment is relatively low, and the margins can be high once you create a brand around your product. Since handmade soaps often sell at a premium price, they can be highly profitable.
Challenges and Tips:
Compliance: Ensure that the soap-making process and the ingredients used are safe and compliant with local health regulations.
Customization: Offer personalized soaps for occasions like weddings, birthdays, or corporate gifts, which can help attract more customers.
Marketing: Effective branding and storytelling about the origins of your ingredients and their benefits will be crucial. Additionally, having eco-friendly packaging can appeal to environmentally-conscious customers.
3. Paper Plate Making Business
The paper plate-making business has emerged as a promising small-scale venture. With growing awareness about the harmful effects of plastic on the environment, eco-friendly alternatives like paper plates are in high demand for events, parties, and foodservice industries.
Starting the Paper Plate Making Business:
Materials Needed:
Paper pulp
Molds (round or custom shapes)
Pressing and drying equipment
Packaging materials
Step-by-Step Process:
Preparing the Paper Pulp: Paper pulp is created by soaking paper in water and blending it to form a slurry.
Molding the Plates: The paper pulp is poured into molds to form the shape of the plates.
Pressing and Drying: The paper plates are then pressed to remove excess water and dried under sunlight or in a drying machine.
Packaging: Once dried, the plates are removed from the molds, stacked, and packaged for sale.
Market Potential:
Target Audience: Event organizers, restaurants, caterers, and consumers who want to reduce their environmental footprint by using biodegradable products.
Sales Channels: Local businesses, wholesalers, event suppliers, or even selling directly to consumers via online platforms.
Profitability: The cost of raw materials and machinery is moderate, but once established, the business has high growth potential. Paper plates are in constant demand in various sectors, making this a stable and scalable business.
Challenges and Tips:
Quality Control: The plates must be sturdy enough to hold food without breaking. Testing the product before offering it to customers is critical.
Sustainability: Emphasize that your paper plates are biodegradable and eco-friendly, which can be a strong selling point. Marketing the eco-benefits of your products can help you stand out in a crowded market.
Starting a small business like agarbathi making, soap making, or paper plate production is a fantastic opportunity for women who want to become entrepreneurs and make a meaningful contribution to their communities. Each of these businesses can be started with a relatively low initial investment and can be scaled with time and effort.
Agarbathi Making offers a chance to tap into a long-standing tradition of incense use, while introducing new scents and eco-friendly products to the market.
Soap Making provides an opportunity to cater to the growing demand for natural and organic personal care products, with a focus on health-conscious and eco-aware consumers.
Paper Plate Making aligns with the global shift towards sustainability and offers an eco-friendly alternative to plastic products.

The PM Vishwakarma Scheme, launched by the Government of India in 2023, is a visionary initiative aimed at uplifting traditional artisans and craftsmen across the country. Named after Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect in Hindu mythology, the scheme is dedicated to supporting individuals who have inherited and continue to practice age-old skills such as carpentry, blacksmithing, pottery, cobbling, tailoring, and other similar trades. These artisans, often forming the backbone of rural and semi-urban economies, have long been marginalized in terms of access to formal financial systems, training, and market exposure. The PM Vishwakarma Scheme is a strategic move to bridge this gap and empower these skilled individuals.
Objectives of the Scheme
The primary objective of the PM Vishwakarma Scheme is to provide holistic support to traditional artisans through a combination of financial aid, skill development, and market integration. It aims to:
Recognize artisans and craftsmen as “Vishwakarmas” by issuing them official identity and recognition.
Provide financial assistance through collateral-free loans.
Promote modern tools and techniques to enhance productivity.
Facilitate skill upgradation through formal training programs.
Support market linkages to increase earnings and reach.
By focusing on these key areas, the scheme seeks to ensure economic sustainability for artisans, promote cultural heritage, and encourage the younger generation to continue traditional crafts.
Beneficiaries and Eligibility
The scheme covers 18 traditional trades, including but not limited to:
Carpenter (Suthar)
Blacksmith (Lohar)
Goldsmith (Sunar)
Potter (Kumhar)
Cobbler (Charmakar)
Tailor (Darzi)
Mason (Rajmistri)
Barber (Naai)
Basket weaver
Doll and toy maker
Locksmith
Stone carver
Fishing net maker
To be eligible, the applicant must be:
Engaged in a traditional craft as a primary source of livelihood.
Above 18 years of age.
Not a government employee or income taxpayer.
Not availing similar benefits under other central schemes like PMEGP or MUDRA.
Applicants are verified at the local level through gram panchayats or urban local bodies and are issued a PM Vishwakarma ID card and certificate.
Key Features and Benefits
The scheme offers a comprehensive support package:
Financial Assistance: Artisans can avail a loan of up to ₹3 lakh in two tranches—₹1 lakh in the first phase and ₹2 lakh in the second—at a concessional interest rate of 5%, with government support for interest subvention.
Skill Development: Training programs are offered under the scheme, categorized as basic and advanced, to enhance existing skills or learn new techniques. A stipend of ₹500 per day is provided during the training period.
Toolkit Incentive: A one-time grant of ₹15,000 is given to each artisan to upgrade or purchase modern tools relevant to their trade.
Digital Empowerment: Artisans are assisted in digital onboarding and provided access to e-commerce platforms and digital payments, helping them reach wider markets.
Marketing Support: The government facilitates market linkages, participation in exhibitions, and branding initiatives to ensure better income generation.
Implementation and Budget
The scheme is implemented by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) in collaboration with state governments. It leverages the existing network of Skill India Mission and digital portals like Udyam and Skill India Digital.
For the financial year 2023–2024, the government allocated ₹13,000 crore for the scheme, reflecting its strong commitment to reviving India’s artisanal economy.
Conclusion
The PM Vishwakarma Scheme is a landmark step toward revitalizing traditional crafts and artisanship in India. By combining financial support, skill training, and digital empowerment, the scheme not only enhances the economic well-being of artisans but also ensures the preservation of India’s rich cultural heritage. If implemented effectively, it can transform millions of lives and inspire a new generation to take pride in their ancestral vocations.
The Government of India has launched several welfare schemes aimed at empowering women and promoting self-employment across the country. One such progressive initiative is the Free Sewing Machine Scheme, which is designed to provide free sewing machines to economically weaker women, especially those living in rural and semi-urban areas. This scheme not only supports women in gaining employment but also helps uplift entire families by promoting financial independence and self-reliance.
Objective of the Scheme
The main goal of the Free Sewing Machine Scheme is to encourage women to become self-employed by using their tailoring skills. Many women in India possess basic sewing knowledge but lack the resources to buy a sewing machine. By providing these machines for free, the government aims to bridge this gap and help women start small tailoring businesses from their homes. This initiative is part of the larger vision of promoting Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) and improving the livelihood of underprivileged families.
This scheme is primarily targeted at women from low-income groups, particularly widows, physically challenged women, and those who are unemployed. The eligibility criteria generally include:
Age between 20 to 40 years
Annual family income below the threshold set by the government (usually under ₹12,000–₹15,000)
Must be a resident of India with valid identity proof
Preference given to women from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes (SC/ST/OBC)
Women who meet the criteria can apply through the official government website or visit local government offices or village panchayats for assistance.
Implementation and Reach
The Free Sewing Machine Scheme is implemented through various state-level agencies and NGOs under the guidance of the Ministry of Women and Child Development. Some states have also taken the lead in extending this scheme further by distributing sewing machines during local awareness programs and self-help group meetings.
As part of the process, beneficiaries are either provided with new sewing machines or vouchers which can be redeemed at authorized centers. Some programs also include basic training in tailoring and stitching, which further enhances the income-generating capability of the beneficiaries.
Impact on Society
The scheme has had a significant impact on women’s empowerment, especially in rural India. By giving women a tool to earn from home, it reduces their dependence on male family members and promotes gender equality. Women can now support their children’s education, manage household expenses, and even become contributors to the community economy.
Moreover, it encourages entrepreneurship among women. Many who start with one sewing machine eventually grow their business by taking on more clients, training other women, or starting small tailoring shops. In this way, the scheme not only helps individuals but also promotes local economic development.
Challenges and Suggestions
Despite its success, the scheme faces several challenges. In some areas, lack of awareness limits the number of applicants. Additionally, the selection process can be delayed due to bureaucratic hurdles. Some women also lack access to electricity or workspace at home, which limits their ability to fully utilize the sewing machines.
To overcome these challenges, the government can increase awareness through local campaigns, streamline the application process, and integrate additional support services like marketing guidance and financial literacy. Providing basic tailoring training to new beneficiaries can also increase their chances of success.
The Free Sewing Machine Scheme is a powerful step toward women empowerment and poverty reduction. By enabling women to generate income through their skills, it helps create a more self-reliant and inclusive society. With improved implementation and wider reach, this scheme has the potential to transform countless lives and contribute to the nation’s growth.
