The Uttarakhand state government on Thursday launched a scheme to provide loans to the migrant workers amid coronavirus pandemic.
Those who are returning to the state will be eligible to apply for the loans. Under the Mukhya Mantri Swarojgar Yojana, Uttarakhand government will provide loans for projects worth ₹25 lakh in the manufacturing sector and ₹10 lakh in the service sector.
Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat asked the officials to inform every village about this scheme. The state government will co-ordinate with the banks to ensure that the beneficiaries do not face any problem in getting the loans.
