COMMERCE

The Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY) is a flagship initiative by the Government of India aimed at providing financial support to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly those in the unorganized sector. This scheme seeks to empower entrepreneurs, especially women, and marginalized groups, by offering access to affordable credit for income-generating activities. The primary objective is to foster financial inclusion and promote entrepreneurial growth by providing loans up to Rs. 10 lakh without the need for collateral.The scheme is designed to address the financial constraints faced by small businesses and start-ups, enabling them to expand, create jobs, and contribute to the country's economic development. By facilitating access to formal credit channels, PMMY aims to bring unbanked businesses into the mainstream economy, thereby enhancing financial literacy and fostering a culture of entrepreneurship. The scheme also encourages innovation, self-reliance, and job creation, which are essential components for sustaining long-term economic growth. Furthermore, PMMY’s role in bridging the credit gap and enhancing access to finance is crucial for empowering rural and semi-urban communities.This project will explore the impact of PMMY on financial inclusion and entrepreneurial growth, analyzing its effectiveness in promoting sustainable business practices, improving employment opportunities, and fostering economic resilience across the nation.
