| This programme has been launched by merging the two schemes that were in operation

Employment Generation Programme (REGP) for generation of employment
opportunities through establishment of micro enterprises in rural as well
as urban areas. PMEGP is a central sector scheme administered
by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MoMSME). The
Scheme is implemented by Khadi and Village Industries Commission
(KVIC), a statutory organization under the administrative control of the
Ministry of MSME as the single nodal agency at the National level. At the
State level, the Scheme is implemented through State KVIC
Directorates, State Khadi and Village Industries Boards (KVIBs) and
District Industries Centres (DICs) and banks. |
