Focus on Self-Reliance and Entrepreneurship

Building on the success of the previous editions of the scheme, the government will now initiate the selection of another 50,000 eligible youth under the programme. The initiative is aimed at encouraging self-employment, nurturing entrepreneurship, and creating economic opportunities across Assam.

The Chief Minister’s Atmanirbhar Asom Abhijan has emerged as one of the State’s flagship initiatives to empower young entrepreneurs by providing financial assistance, skill development, and institutional support for launching sustainable business ventures.
