The programme intends to encourage young entrepreneurs in the state to be self-reliant, Harshadeep Kamble, who assumed additional charge as secretary of the state industries department on Saturday, told reporters here.
Under the programme, the government will provide financial assistance to micro and small enterprises aiming to create two lakh jobs every year.
