Support to upgrade existing units or setting up of new micro units for individuals is provided through a credit linked grants-in-aid @35% upto maximum of Rs. 10.00  lakhs.  The  Scheme  also  provides  support  to  food  processing  units  of  SHGs/  FPOs/ Cooperatives for credit linked grants-in-aid @35%, Seed Capital to SHGs, Incubation Centre, Common Infrastructure, Marketing & Branding and Capacity Building.

The Scheme adopts One District One Product (ODOP) approach to reap the benefit of scale in terms of procurement of inputs, availing common services and marketing of products. ODOP for the scheme provides the framework for value chain development and alignment of support infrastructure.
