Explanation

The 'Stand-Up India Scheme' was launched by the Government of India on April 5, 2016, with the primary objective of promoting entrepreneurship at the grassroots level [1]. Specifically, the scheme focuses on supporting individuals from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and women communities [3]. It facilitates bank loans ranging from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore to at least one SC or ST borrower and at least one woman borrower per bank branch for setting up greenfield enterprises in the manufacturing, services, or trading sectors [6]. Beyond financial assistance, the scheme provides a digital platform for handholding support, including pre-loan assistance and operational guidance [5]. By targeting these underrepresented groups, the initiative aims to foster economic empowerment, job creation, and inclusive growth through business ownership [3].
