New Swarnim Yojana (for Women Only)

A debt scheme by the Government of Gujarat providing up to ₹2 lakh at 5% interest for self-employment to women from nomadic and denotified castes.

The "New Swarnim Yojana (For Women Only)" is a crucial initiative by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Government of Gujarat, designed to uplift women from nomadic and denotified castes. These communities often face significant socio-economic challenges, and this scheme specifically targets women living below the poverty line to foster economic independence. The primary objective is to enable beneficiaries to pursue self-employment opportunities with dignity, thereby improving their livelihoods and contributing to their family's economic stability.

Implemented by the Gujarat Nomadic and Denotified Tribes Development Corporation, the scheme provides financial assistance in the form of a loan. This empowers women to start or expand businesses and occupations of their choice, breaking cycles of poverty and marginalization. By offering accessible credit, the program aims to stimulate entrepreneurship among these vulnerable groups, promoting their inclusion in the mainstream economy and supporting their aspirations for a better future.
