Maharashtra’s government has launched the Chief Minister Employment Generation Programme (CMEGP). In essence, it is a credit-linked subsidy plan designed to create jobs. To create these job opportunities, the government will build micro and small companies in both the state’s urban and rural areas.

Objective of CMEGP

The primary purpose of the Chief Minister Employment Generation Programme (CMEGP) is to establish one lakh micro and small companies during the next five years. In addition, this initiative will create work opportunities. For the first fiscal year, 8 to 10 lakh young people from the region will find work.

Benefits of the Chief Minister’s Employment Generation Programme

The Chief Minister Employment Generation Programme provides the following benefits:

• A project unit in the manufacturing sector can cost up to Rs. 50 lakh. If an applicant attempts to manipulate the system in order to qualify for the CMEGP program, projects under the plan will not be completed. Nonetheless, the actual project cost falls inside the set limit.
• The maximum project cost allowed to the service sector under this initiative is Rs. 10 lakh.
• Depending on the benefit category, beneficiary involvement will range from 5% to 10% of the total project cost. The bank would then make the remaining cash available as a term loan.
