This scheme is all about financial support for women who want to become entrepreneurs or expand their existing businesses. It's managed by the Haryana Backward Classes and Economically Weaker Sections Kalyan Nigam and offers loans to eligible women.
The Mahila Samiriddhi Yojana is for women aged between 18 and 55 years who are permanent residents of Haryana. It specifically targets women from Backward Classes, but also provides opportunities for self-help groups with members from other weaker sections.
