Rajiv Gandhi Udyami Mitra Yojana (RGUMY), launched in 2008,
is aimed at providing financial assistance to the selected lead agencies i.e.
Udyami Mitras for rendering assistance and handholding support to the potential
first generation entrepreneurs. Till date 650 Udyami Mitras have been empanelled in 28 States and 3 Union Territories.Â
The Udyami Mitras have so far registered 35154 beneficiaries for
rendering handholding support. Through ‘Udyami Helpline’ (a Toll free Call
Centre for MSMEs on 1800-180-6763), support, guidance and assistance to first
generation entrepreneurs as well as other existing entrepreneurs is also
provided 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. The Ministry does not provide any
financial assistance to entrepreneurs under Rajiv Gandhi Udyami Mitra Yojana.
However, organizations empanelled as Udyami Mitra by the Ministry provide
handholding support to first generation entrepreneurs and in return are paid
handholding charges under the scheme as per details:

As per one of the
roles and responsibilities defined in the Scheme guidelines, the selected lead
agencies i.e. Udyami Mitras are expected to render assistance and handholding
support for services such as arranging tie-up with raw material suppliers, preparation
and implementation of marketing strategy for the product/service and market
development.
According to the
information available, in 1569 cases the Udyami Mitras indicated of having
provided marketing tie-up.
The Scheme has been
evaluated through an independent agency and the study has suggested
several modifications to the existing scheme for making the scheme more
effective, useful and for its continuation in 12th Plan. The Scheme
is proposed to continue in the 12th plan with appropriate modifications
based on the finding of evaluation study and experience in the field.
This information was given by the Minister of
State (Independent Charge) for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Shri K. H.
Muniyappa in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
