প্রধানমন্ত্রী স্বনিধি প্রকল্পের সুবিধা পাচ্ছেন ব্যবসায়ীরা? খোঁজ নিতে হঠাৎ হাওড়া ময়দানে মোদির ‘দূত’

According to a report by Sangbad Pratidin, Union Minister Umesh Rai recently visited the Howrah Maidan area to interact with local street vendors and assess the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Street Vendor's Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi) scheme. The outreach program aimed to gather firsthand feedback from small business owners regarding their access to credit and the overall impact of the government's financial assistance initiatives.

During the visit, Minister Rai highlighted the government's commitment to integrating small-scale entrepreneurs into the formal economy. He noted that the PM SVANidhi scheme is designed to provide affordable working capital loans to street vendors, helping them sustain and grow their businesses in a competitive market. The minister emphasized that the initiative is a key component of the broader effort to foster financial inclusion for those operating in the informal sector.

Local business owners who participated in the interaction expressed satisfaction with the support provided through the scheme. The minister's visit served as a platform for vendors to voice their concerns and suggestions directly to government representatives. The administration continues to monitor the uptake of these loans as part of its ongoing efforts to support small-scale economic recovery and development in urban centers across West Bengal.
