Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), the apex financial institution engaged in the promotion, financing and development of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), along-with Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI), an industry chamber that promotes business entrepreneurship amongst Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), launched a webinar series - ‘SWAVALAMBAN SANKALP – MEGA

CAMPAIGN’, an initiative to boost Government of India’s flagship Stand-Up India (SUI) scheme.

Dr. Milind Kamble, Founder-Chairman – DICCI, shared that DICCI intends to connect with potential aspiring SC-ST entrepreneurs who need appropriate guidance. “Our Prime Minister’s vision through Stand Up India scheme is to empower 1.25 lakh SC-ST entrepreneurs per year through the 1.25 lakh branches of all scheduled commercial banks and help them become Atma-Nirbhar.” He informed that along with Swavalamban Sankalp, DICCI has also started Business Facilitation Centres in all their chapter offices to facilitate existing and aspiring entrepreneurs in availing support from government schemes which are otherwise underutilised. Congratulating DICCI for their exemplary work in its outreach amongst SC-ST communities in every nook and corner of the country and making them aware of the schemes for SC & ST, especially Stand Up India, V. S. V Rao, Deputy Managing Director, SIDBI, the Chief guest of the event said that, “SIDBI had a target of funding 2.5 lakh Stand Up India projects of which 1 lakh is already achieved. India is a land of opportunities, there are people to experiment with. SIDBI will be at the forefront when it comes to entrepreneurial development.” He added.

Ravi Kumar Narra, National Working President – DICCI, informed that since beginning Swavalamban Sankalp has gained tremendous momentum. “Through this mega campaign many success stories have been created and now with this webinar series which shall be held every Friday until March 2021, it shall reach far bigger audience. It will help to connect aspiring entrepreneurs directly with the bankers and franchisors.” Sanjiv Dangi, Former North India President - DICCI, said, “People coming from SC-ST community do not know about the financial assistance available to them from the government. The aim of Swavalamban Sankalp Mega Campaign is to make them aware of the same as well as the newer opportunities through franchisee businesses.”

As an inaugural presentation, Sanjay Gandhi, Business Franchisor for ‘Astore’ shared the opportunities for a multi-brand mobile repair store anywhere in the country. He said that the usage of mobile technology in India is only going to rise continuously and hence there exists a huge prospect in the mobile repair services segment.

‘SWAVALAMBAN SANKALP – MEGA CAMPAIGN’, was initiated a year back to give a boost to “Stand Up India (SUI) Scheme” which is a flagship program of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. It aimed to step up the effectiveness of the SUI scheme and strengthen the MSME ecosystem targeted at development of unserved/underserved youth and entrepreneurs from Schedule Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). Series of events were organised in various cities to reach out to potential aspirants and many entrepreneurs have been benefited from the initiative. To ensure, the COVID-19 crisis does not become a hinderance to the dreams of young Dalit entrepreneurs, SIDBI & DICCI has launched the webinar series on virtual platform.

As part of Swavalamban Sankalp Mega Campaign, DICCI in association with SIDBI will stream a success story every Friday at 4 PM on their website and social media channels.
