Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently shared exciting updates on the state’s flagship program, Mukhyamantri Atmanirbhar Asom Yojana. This initiative is empowering budding entrepreneurs in Assam by offering crucial financial help and guidance to kickstart or grow their businesses.
In a post on X, Sarma explained how the scheme is “giving wings to Assam’s entrepreneurs.” It provides up to Rs 5 lakh in financial assistance, plus hands-on mentorship, to people eager to dive into business. The goal? To build sustainable jobs, promote self-reliance, and cut down on traditional job hunting. Young folks in Assam now have a real shot at turning their ideas into thriving ventures across various sectors.
Launched earlier, the Atmanirbhar Asom Yojana connects selected participants with government-backed funds, practical training, and advice from industry pros. Sarma highlighted that this support doesn’t just boost individual dreams—it sparks wider job creation and lifts the entire Assam economy.
What makes this program special is its focus on first-time entrepreneurs, especially from rural and semi-urban areas. These folks often struggle to get loans or expert tips, but now they have a clear path forward. The aid comes as a mix of bank loans and government subsidies, making projects viable for the long haul.
The government has teamed up with professional agencies and business mentors to help out. They guide entrepreneurs on everything from starting up and managing finances to marketing products and expanding operations.
A senior official from the Industries Department is optimistic: “This rollout will spark a fresh wave of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Assam, creating jobs and keeping our youth from migrating for work.”
Sarma wrapped it up by tying the scheme to Assam’s bigger vision: a self-reliant state where young people become job creators, not just seekers. It’s one of the Assam government’s boldest moves yet to drive entrepreneurship-led growth and transform the local economy. If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur in Assam, this could be your big break!
