Number of people trained under these schemes in the state of Odisha in the last five years is given as follows.

| Scheme           | Number of beneficiaries trained in Odisha in the last five years   |

- ii) National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation(NMDFC) provides concessional loans to minorities on refinance mode which supports them in  their  Economic  empowerment  and  generation  of  livelihoods.
