## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI SUDARSHAN BHAGAT )

- (a) :Though the Ministry of Rural Development does not implement any scheme titled 'Start Up Village  Operation',  the Start - up  Village  Entrepreneurship  Programme (SVEP) is implemented as a sub- scheme under National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) of this Ministry , to promote start - up enterprises in rural areas. Sanction for the roll out of the SVEP has been accorded to 6 states who have expressed their willingnes s, covering 4 6 blocks. Initially a baseline and market potential st the blocks is carried out through the approved Programme Implementing Agency in respec State  concerned  for  providing  support  on  the  start - ups,  handholding  and  accessing  finan ce  to  the entrepreneurs. Thereafter a Detailed Project Report thereon detailing the number of enterprises be viably supported in the block is submitted by the State to the Ministry for approval the scheme is to train and support 1.8 2 lakh entrepreneurs over a period of four years.
- (b) : The  details  of  the  States  that  have launched  the  said programme and  the  extent of  help rendered by the Government so far is given in Annexure - I .
- ( c) & ( d) :By definition, a Start - up means an entity, incorporated or registered in India not five years, with annual turnover not exceeding Rs.25 crore in any preceding financial year, work towards  innovation,  development,  deployment  or  commercializati on  of  new  products,  processes  or services  driven  by  technology  or  intellectual  property,  provided  that  such  entity  is splitting up, or reconstruction, of a business already in existence. Thus a Start - up has to be a Private Limited Company  (un der The Companies Act, 2013) or a Registered Partnership Firm (under Indian  Partnership  Act,  1932)  or  Limited  Liability  Partnership  (under  The  Limited Partnership  Act,  2008),  whereas SV EP focuses  on  much  smaller  enterprises  based  on  the  mar t potential in their vicinity and which would not need a capital of more than Rs.10 lakh. The SVEP targets  at  setting  up  enterprises  in  villages  in  saturation  mode.    The  SVEP  also createslocal community cadre (CRP - EP) at village level which provides hand - holding support to the entrepreneurs So far Goa has not opted for the roll out of SVEP in the State.
