The administration will provide full support to help turn these ideas into reality.
Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sawhney presided over the first meeting of the project with various stakeholders and stated that the goal is to empower those with the best ideas and transform them into successful business leaders by providing seed money for their ventures.

She stated that the project will also provide platforms for new ideas, concepts, and small businesses. The District Bureau of Employment Enterprises will be the executive agency of the project. She mentioned that after submission of the best ideas, concepts, and plans from future entrepreneurs, a jury will select winners in different categories. The winners will receive cash prizes along with seed funding, investment assistance from angel investors, loans and subsidies, and registration on start-up portals.
