Mukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojna (MSY Nano)

Mukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojna (MSY Nano) is a Government of Uttarakhand initiative implemented through the Department of Industries as a sub-component of the broader Mukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojana. The Nano variant specifically targets very small-scale entrepreneurs and micro business activities requiring minimal investment.

The objective of the scheme is to promote grassroot-level self-employment, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, by providing small-ticket financial assistance with subsidy support. For you as a first-time entrepreneur or micro-MSME, this scheme is ideal to start low-investment businesses such as retail shops, services, or small trades, with reduced financial risk.
