New Delhi, July 3: The Government’s National SC/ST Hub (NSSH) scheme is helping Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe entrepreneurs scale up their businesses by improving access to credit, market linkages, and capacity-building support.
Officials said the initiative is designed to strengthen entrepreneurship among SC and ST communities by providing structured support to micro and small enterprises, enabling them to become more competitive and sustainable.
Through the scheme, entrepreneurs receive assistance in areas such as business development, skill enhancement, procurement opportunities, and integration with larger supply chains. This has helped many small enterprises expand operations and explore new markets.
The programme also focuses on improving access to government and private sector procurement opportunities, helping beneficiaries participate more actively in the formal economy.
Officials noted that the initiative is contributing to inclusive growth by encouraging self-reliance and promoting wider participation of SC and ST entrepreneurs in India’s economic development.
