MICRO ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
There are a huge number of women living under difficult circumstances in our state. Most of them are widows, women victims of armed conflict and deserted women living with children with no source of income and support. For survival, some of these women are compelled to resort to sex trade, selling liquor and narcotic substances. In order to provide them with an alternative source of income for their better livelihood, this scheme has been devised to extend loan facility to these women. The loan is provided without interest and monitored through the Partner NGOs (PNGOs) at the district level and Sub-division Partner NGOs (SPNGOs) wherever SPNGOs have been notified. The selected beneficiaries are provided interest-free loan ranging from Rs. 10,000/- to Rs. 30,000/-

PROMOTION OF WOMEN IN INNOVATIVE ENTERPRISE PROGRAMME (PWIEP)
Entrepreneurs usually require financial assistance of some kind to launch their ventures - be it a formal bank loan or money from a savings account. Women in developing nations have little access to funds, due to the fact that they are concentrated in poor rural communities with few opportunities to borrow money. Women entrepreneurs suffer from inadequate financial resources and working capital compounded with lack of access to external funds due to their inability to provide tangible security.
GUARANTOR SECURITY FORMATS
Therefore, to provide a boost to aspiring women entrepreneurs and as part of the economic empowerment process for women in the state, the Department is implementing a scheme called "Promotion of Women in Innovative Enterprises Programme". The scheme targets women entrepreneurs who are involved in innovative and novel enterprises and are in need of funding to develop and expand their trades. The major objective of the scheme would be not just to further the economic position of the beneficiaries but also to set them as role models for other women to emulate.
