Question

What are the indian government initiatives to encourage startups?

Answer 1

After three years of PM Narendra Modi's government in power, there have been a series of media report cards on what went right or wrong. There has been extreme criticism and some praise as well. In terms of what it has done for startups, it is a mixed bag. When I spoke to entrepreneurs before writing this article, I realised one important thing. At the least, there is someone to listen to these voices today. This was not the case five years back.

Answer 2

Answer:

The government launched the Support to Training and Employment Programme (STEP) for women with no access to formal skill-training facilities, especially in rural India.

• The Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and NITI Aayog redrafted the guidelines of a 30-year-old initiative to adapt to present-day needs.
