Small businesses to get ₹35,000 at 25 paise interest
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said the State government is committed to ensuring the economic development of women and has therefore launched welfare schemes such as Aasara and Cheyutha, which are paving the way for “true empowerment.”
Reviewing the progress of the two schemes at his camp office here on Wednesday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the government revived the “zero interest” loans that had been cancelled by the TDP government. He said the government partnered with major companies such as ITC, Reliance and Amul to support women entrepreneurs.
Referring to the employment opportunities for sustainable economic advancement of women through these schemes, the Chief Minister said, “Steps should be taken to provide a loan of ₹35,000 at 25 paise interest.”
