SVEP-NRLM

Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Development Program (SVEP) is a program by the Government of India will be a focused intervention to promote start-up entrepreneurship at village level by rural poor households by providing assured availability of need based financial support, capacity building and advisory services for establishment of village enterprises. SVEP envisages creation of sustainable self employment opportunities for a large number of rural poor youth, enabling them to engage effectively with the market and help generate wealth locally. In the process, SVEP will bring banks and financial institutions closer to the village entrepreneur. The development of this eco-system is critical for not only promoting village enterprises but more importantly for sustaining them. This eco-system will in turn leverage the strong N.R.L.M eco-system of S.H.Gs and S.H.G federations.

SVEP will create a complete enterprise support eco-system for village enterprises to enhance their viability, market linkages and credit-worthiness. This will be built on local skills, knowledge and intelligence, guided by high-quality business management knowledge and ICT platform.

Building upon experiences and successes of previous entrepreneurship development programs under NRLM, the enterprise component of the National Rural Economic Transformation Project (NRETP) will identify existing enterprises with growth potential and provide dedicated services to achieve scale.

NRETP provides dedicated services to identified growth enterprises will be provided through One-Stop Facility (OSF) Centers, located at a sub-district level, catering to 2-4 blocks per district.

This app is for CRP-EPs (Community Resource Person-Enterprise Promotion) and BDSP (Business Descriptor Service Provider) who will be working in field supporting the SVEP and NRETP Program.
