Nav Tejaswini Yojana will be implemented under the Women’s Economic Development Corporation. MAVIM is a State Women Development Corporation which aims to empower women and provide employment to SHG women. About 10 lakh families in rural areas will get benefit from Nav Tejaswini Yojana. Nav Tejaswini Rural Women Empowerment Program will provide financial assistance to such rural families to lift them out of poverty. Also, the Tejaswini project will provide low-interest loans to women.

The Cabinet Committee of the Government of Maharashtra has also approved the provisions for the promotion of rural women entrepreneurship in Maharashtra. For this purpose, the International Fund for International Development (IFAD) will provide a grant of Rs 333 crore and the state government will provide an amount of 190 crores. This grant is for the establishment and support of rural women’s entrepreneurship.

Rural Women Entrepreneurship in Nav Tejaswini Rural Women Empowerment Program

The Maharashtra State Government aims to empower women financially through Self Help Groups (SHGs). The SHG movement in rural areas is being carried out strictly through MAVIM. Since women did not own property, they were not part of any formal banking system as free persons to demand loans. At present, loans are provided through SHGs, but the loan amount is small and is sanctioned to self-help groups and not to women members independently.

Even though women are capable and trained for industry or entrepreneurship, they still face the difficulties of loan approval. Women find it difficult to obtain credit for setting up businesses, small enterprises and producing goods among others. Accordingly, Maharashtra Nav Tejaswini Rural Women Empowerment Program will prove to be revolutionary. The thrust of the Nav Tejaswini Yojana will be on providing personal loans to women and linking the bank to Self Help Groups.

Pickle Initiative to Vikal in Nav Tejaswini Yojana

Under the Vikel Te Pickel initiative under the Nav Tejaswini Yojana, the Government of Maharashtra aims to uplift SHGs to the next level. This will be done by introducing methods like setting up their cooperative societies, federations and companies. Emphasizing local requirements, productivity and demand, the Vikel Se Pickal scheme will focus on procuring products from SHGs.

To upgrade the quality and presentation of SHG products, IFAD will facilitate the clusters with international standard skills and guidance. In addition, SHGs products will be manufactured with the help of modern technology from private manufacturers as well as products from the corporate sector. MAVIM will provide all possible support for the branding of the products, packaging and quality of the products.

The main objective of Nav Tejaswini Yojana is to nourish women, and children and make Maharashtra a healthy state. The Tejaswini project will also focus on the nutrition of women and children. Also, acknowledge the plight of women and efforts will be made to increase their participation in the decision-making process.
