An SBI research report has praised the Modi government’s micro-credit scheme for street vendors for ensuring “inclusive entrepreneurship” and said nearly 75 per cent of its beneficiaries come from the non-general category with the OBCs accounting for 44 per cent.
The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes account for 22 per cent of the total disbursement of the PM Street Vendor’s AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi) scheme and 43 per cent of the total beneficiaries are women, the report said.
“Female share indicates empowerment of entrepreneurial capabilities of urban female, giving SVANidhi a gender equaliser tag,” it said.
