Investments in Infrastructure and productive capacity have a large multiplier impact on growth  and  employment.  The  budget  of  2023-24  proposed  to  increase  capital  investment outlay steeply for the third year in a row by 33 per cent to Rs 10 lakh crore, which would be 3.3 per  cent  of  GDP.  This  substantial  increase  in  recent  years  is  central  to  the  government's efforts to enhance growth potential and job creation.

The  Government  of  India  has  announced  Aatmanirbhar  Bharat  package  to  provide stimulus to business and to mitigate the adverse impact of Covid-19. Under this package, the Government is providing fiscal stimulus of more than Rupees Twenty Seven lakh crore. This package comprises of various long term schemes/programmes/policies for making the country self-reliant and to create employment opportunities.

The  Aatmanirbhar  Bharat  Rojgar  Yojana  (ABRY)  was  launched  with  effect  from  1st October, 2020 to incentivize employers for creation of new employment and restoration of loss of  employment during Covid-19 pandemic. The terminal date for registration of beneficiaries was 31.03.2022. There is no specific Statewise allocation of funds under the scheme. During the  financial  year  2023-24,  an  amount  of  Rs.  2272.82  Crore  has  been  allocated  under  the scheme.

Government  is  implementing  Prime  Minister  Street  Vendor's  AtmaNirbhar  Nidhi  (PM SVANidhi  Scheme)  since  June  01,  2020  to  facilitate  collateral  free  working  capital  loan  to street vendors to restart their businesses, which were adversely impacted during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) was launched by the Government for facilitating self-employment.  Under  PMMY,  collateral  free  loans  upto  Rs.  10  lakh,  are  extended  to micro/small business enterprises  and to individuals to  enable them to setup  or expand their business activities.

The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes  is being implemented by the Government with an outlay of Rs. 1.97 lakh crore, for a period of 5 years starting from 2021-22 which have potential for creating 60 lakh new jobs.

PM  GatiShakti  is  a  transformative  approach  for  economic  growth  and  sustainable development. The approach is driven by seven engines, namely, Roads, Railways, Airports, Ports, Mass Transport, Waterways and Logistics Infrastructure. This approach is powered by Clean Energy and Sabka Prayas leading to huge job and entrepreneurial opportunities for all.

The Government  of India is encouraging various projects involving substantial investment and public expenditure on schemes like Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme  (PMEGP),  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme (MGNREGS), Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) and Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs) etc. for employment generation in the country.

Further,  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  is  implementing  a  centrally  sponsored scheme namely "Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAYNULM)" to reduce poverty and vulnerability of urban poor households on a sustainable basis. Mission, inter-alia, aims to enabling urban poor to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage  employment  opportunities  through  skill  training  in  market  oriented  courses  under  the Employment  through Skill Training & Placement (EST&P)  component. Also, financial assistance  is  provided  to  individuals/  groups/  Self  Help  Groups  (SHGs)  of  urban  poor  for setting up gainful self-employment ventures or microenterprises.

Besides  these  initiatives,  various  flagship  programmes  of  the  Government  such  as Make  in  India,  Start-up  India,  Stand-up  India,  Digital  India,  Housing  for  All  etc.  are  also oriented towards generating employment opportunities in the country.

All  these  initiatives  are  expected to  collectively  generate  employment for every section of the society, including women in Maharashtra, in the medium to long term through multiplier-effects.
