Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme transforming lives in UP

The beneficiaries of the programme included women hailing from Arajiline block of Varanasi, Nighasan Block of Kheri, and the Najibabad block of Bijnor. 

Lucknow: The Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP) under the State Rural Livelihood Mission (SRLM) has proved a boon for women of Uttar Pradesh. Utilising the SVEP, as many as 13, 801 women have set up small-scale business units for their economic empowerment. 

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s efforts to empower rural women and make them self-reliant during the last over four-and-a-half years have started yielding results as more and more rural females are now turning to entrepreneurship.

It is noteworthy that the SVEP was launched to strengthen women’s groups in UP while accelerating the economic development of villages and eliminating poverty and unemployment from there.
