## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SHRI GIRIRAJ SINGH)

- (a): No Madam.
- (b): Does not arise.

(c): Ministry  of  MSME  is  implementing  Prime  Minister's  Employment Generation  Programme  (PMEGP)  which  is  a  major  credit-linked  subsidy programme aimed at generating self-employment opportunities through establishment of micro-enterprises in the non-farm sector by helping traditional artisans  and  unemployed  youth.      Any  individual  above  18  years  of  age  is eligible. For setting up of projects costing above Rs.10 lakh in the manufacturing sector and above Rs. 5 lakh in the business /service sector, the beneficiaries should possess at least VIII standard pass educational qualification. General category beneficiaries can avail of margin money subsidy of  25  %  of  the  project  cost  in  rural  areas  and  15%  in  urban  areas.    For beneficiaries belonging to special categories such as scheduled caste/scheduled tribe/OBC  /minorities/women,  ex-serviceman,  physically  handicapped,  NER, Hill and Border areas etc. the margin money subsidy is 35% in rural areas and 25% in urban areas.

The  Scheme  was  launched  during  2008-09.  A  total  of  4.23  lakh  micro enterprises  have  been  assisted  with  a  margin  money  subsidy  of  Rs  8695.27 crore providing employment to an estimated 35.48 lakh persons since PMEGP's inception till 2016-17.

The  State/UT-wise  details  including  the  State  of  Rajasthan  for  employment generation under the PMEGP Scheme during each of the last three years and current year is placed at Annexure-I.

There has also been no decline in employment in the Khadi and Village Industry sector as may be seen from the table below:
