The Rajasthan government has taken a significant initiative to empower the state's youth and make them self-reliant. Educated but unemployed young people will no longer have to face financial difficulties in starting their own businesses. With this objective, the government has launched the Chief Minister's Youth Self-Employment Scheme. Under this scheme, young people are being provided with interest-free loans so that they can turn their business ideas into reality. The government aims to make young people job creators, not just job seekers.

Under this scheme, eligible youth will be given interest-free loans of up to Rs 10 lakh based on their business projects. The biggest advantage is that no interest will be charged on this loan, thus relieving the financial burden on young entrepreneurs. This scheme is available for sectors such as manufacturing, services, and trading, promoting all types of businesses.

Key Features and Benefits of the Scheme
The features of the Chief Minister's Youth Self-Employment Scheme make it unique. Eligible youth not only receive a large loan amount, but in some cases, the government also provides subsidies. This makes starting a new business even easier.

To avail of the scheme, the applicant must be a permanent resident of Rajasthan. The age limit is generally set at 18 to 40 years, although reserved categories will receive relaxations as per rules. The minimum educational qualification is 8th pass, while those with technical education or diplomas may be given priority. Also, the applicant should not be a defaulter of any bank.

Online Application Process and the Importance of the Project Report
The government has kept the application process for the scheme completely online. Interested youth can apply by logging in to the SSO Rajasthan portal. The application form requires you to fill in personal information, educational details, and a business plan. You will also need to upload documents such as your Aadhaar card, proof of residence, and a project report.
