Karnataka State Women’s Development Corporation (KSWDC) has launched the Udyogini Scheme in Karnataka under which it aims to promote self-employment by providing subsidy loans.

The prime objective of this scheme is to assist Scheduled Tribe (ST) women to become self-reliant by undertaking the businesses and micro-enterprises and prevent them from borrowing money at high-interest rates from the moneylenders.

Udyogini Scheme provides interest-free loans to women of Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 3 lakh with 50 percent subsidy.
