Self-Employment Scheme: Transport/ Logistics/ Travels/ Food Court Wyaaj Sahaay

The "Transport/ Logistics/ Travels/ Food Court Wyaaj Sahaay" initiative operates under the Self-Employment Scheme administered by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department of Gujarat. It supports residents from the unreserved category in establishing or expanding businesses through financial assistance. Eligible applicants may obtain a bank loan of up to ₹6.00 lakh for purchasing vehicles and developing infrastructure for transport services, logistics operations, travel agencies, or food courts.

A 5% interest subsidy on the loan reduces the financial burden for entrepreneurs, improving the viability of self-employment ventures. The programme supports the state's broader objectives of encouraging entrepreneurship and economic activity, with potential benefits for job creation and growth in Gujarat.

Applications are initially checked against eligibility requirements, including residency, unreserved category status, age, income ceilings, and holding a valid driving licence.

This limit suggests that if more applicants qualify than the available slots in a village, the final choice may rest on merit or a draw of lots.
