What this scheme offers
Rather than a general-purpose loan scheme, this one is specifically aimed at minority communities in Tripura, providing assistance to start or expand self-employment ventures that generate real, ongoing income. Launched by CM Manik Saha in July 2026 at an event in Agartala, it came bundled with MoUs signed with the National Stock Exchange to strengthen financial literacy and entrepreneurship — a signal that the scheme is meant to build lasting business capability, not just hand out one-time capital.
