## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (DR. CHANDRA SEKHAR PEMMASANI)

(a) & (b): The  Government  has  taken  significant initiatives to promote  women entrepreneurship across  the  country,  including  in Tamil  Nadu,  covering  Tiruchirappalli  and  Pudukottai  districts.  The DeendayalAntyodayaYojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) through its sub-scheme namely, Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme  (SVEP)  creates  an  enabling  rural business development ecosystem. It supports the Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their family members to set-up small enterprises in the non-farm livelihoods sector.  SVEP is implemented in 31 States and Union Territories. 3.36 lakh enterprises have been supported under SVEP. Number of enterprises supported under the SVEP, year-wise and district-wise, are in Annexures-I and II.

SVEP  is  a  demand-based  programme,  and  implemented  at block  level.   The  funds  allocation  for  each  block  depends  on  the number of enterprises to be supported as per the Detailed Project Reports  (DPR)  submitted  by  States  and  their  Annual  Action  Plan. Central share released under SVEP is at Annexure-III.

Energy  Efficiency  Services  Limited  (EESL),  a  joint  venture under  the  Ministry  of  Power,  through  its  100%  subsidiary  CESL (Convergence  Energy  Services  Limited)  which  focuses  on  electric mobility and charging infrastructure have collaborated with Ministry of Rural Development for a pilot project titled Sustainable Transport for  Rural  Entrepreneurs  through  Electric  Bicycles  (STREE),  which involves distribution of cargo electric cycles to  SHG  women entrepreneurs across four states - Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Andhra  Pradesh.

Department of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare implements the "Innovation  and  Agri-Entrepreneurship  Development"  programme under the RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana (RKVY) which supports agrientrepreneurship providing financial support and nurturing an incubation ecosystem  in the country through five  Knowledge Partners  (KPs)  and  24  RKVY  Agribusiness  Incubators  (R-ABIs). Under this programme, trainings, technical and financial assistance is provided to startups to launch their products, services, business platforms etc. into the market and facilitate them to scale up their products and operations to attain business viability. More than 5000 Agri-Startups  have  been  trained  under  this  programme  during  FY 2019-20 to 2024-25. So far, 1749 Agri-Startups including 448 women led  startups have  been  supported  with  technical  and  financial assistance under this programme during FY 2019-20 to 2024-25.

In the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector, the Government  has  taken  various  initiatives  to  enhance  women's participation across the country, including Tiruchirappalli and Pudukottai.  Special  registration  drives  have  been  conducted  to encourage  the  registration  of  women-owned  MSMEs.  To  further support women  entrepreneurs, the Public Procurement Policy mandates that CPSEs, Ministries, and Departments procure at least 3%  of their annual purchases from  micro  and  small  women entrepreneurs. Women-owned  MSMEs  account  for  40.12%  of  total registered MSMEs and are eligible for Priority Sector Lending (PSL) and  benefits  under  MSME  schemes.  Under  the  Credit  Guarantee Scheme  for  Micro  and  Small  Enterprises,  women  entrepreneurs receive enhanced  support, including 90%  guarantee coverage compared  to  75%  for  others  and  a  10%  concession  in  annual guarantee fees, effective from 1st December 2022.

The Prime Minister's Employment Generation  Programme (PMEGP) provides credit-linked subsidies to promote selfemployment, with 39% of its beneficiaries being women. The Skill Upgradation  and  Mahila  Coir  Yojana  under  Coir  VikasYojana  is designed  to  provide  exclusive  skill  training  for  women  artisans engaged  in  the  coir  sector.  Women  entrepreneurs  also  receive additional marketing support through the Procurement and Marketing  Support  Scheme,  which  offers  a  100%  subsidy  for  their participation in trade fairs, compared to 80% for other entrepreneurs.

The  PM  Vishwakarma  Scheme,  launched  on  17th  September 2023, provides significant benefits to traditional artisans and craftspeople,  including  women,  across  18  trades.  The  Ministry  of MSME  also launched the Yashasvini  Awareness  campaign to educate  and  guide  women  entrepreneurs  on  MSME  schemes, ensuring continuous handholding and capacity-building support. The Ministry  of  MSME,  in  collaboration  with  the  Ministry  of  Rural Development and Women Entrepreneurship  Platform  organized  the first YashasviniAwareness  Campaign  for  women  entrepreneurs  at the  Rajasthan  International  Centre,  Jaipur,  on  19th July  2024. The event had participation from more than 650 women entrepreneurs, including the Self Help Groups.

Further,  under Startup  India  for  women  entrepreneurs  across the  country  including  in  Tamil  Nadu,  various  initiatives  have  been taken to promote women entrepreneurship. Year-wise details of the initiative  taken  under  Startup  India  are  available  on  the  Portal: startupindia.gov.in. Further, to encourage the participation of women entrepreneurs and enable innovation, special incentives are integrated into the flagship programs of Startup India being implemented by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry:

- (i) National Startup Awards: This initiative recognizes and supports a diverse range of startups driving sustainable economic transformation.  A  dedicated  category  for  women-led  startups  has been  included  in  the  National  Startup  Awards  from  2020  to  2023, offering exclusive support and promotion.
- (ii) State  Ranking  Framework  (SRF):  The  SRF  is  a  comprehensive evaluation  tool  aimed  at  strengthening  the  support  of  States  and

Union  Territories  to  holistically  build  their  startup  ecosystems through cooperative federalism. The Action Point 4 of the framework focuses specifically on the number of unique women-led startups  that  have  received  support  through  special  incentives  by the states and union territories. It includes tracking unique womenled startups that have received state incentives, along with policies that  provide  seed  funding,  venture  funding,  incubation  support, capacity development workshops, and marketing assistance.
