The Rajiv Gandhi Udyami Mitra Yojana (RGUMY) has been made functional throughout the country.  The scheme is implemented at all India level and not in a state-wise manner.  It seeks to provide handholding support and assistance to the potential first generation entrepreneurs who would have successfully completed mandatory entrepreneurship  development training or skill development training or vocational training ,  through the selected lead agencies i.e. 'Udyami Mitras' , in the establishment and management of the new enterprise, in dealing with various procedural and legal hurdles and in completion of various formalities required for setting up and running of the enterprise. 

                                   

The Scheme also provides information, support, guidance and assistance to first generation entrepreneurs as well as other existing entrepreneurs through an ‘Udyami Helpline’ (a Call Centre for MSMEs, 1800-180-6763 Toll Free), to guide them regarding various promotional schemes of the Government, procedural formalities required for setting up and running of the enterprise and help them in accessing Bank credit etc.
