Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Swawlamban Yojana

The scheme “Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Swavalamban Yojana” has been implemented by the Department of Finance, Planning & Investment, Government of Arunachal Pradesh, to promote entrepreneurship among unemployed youth by supporting viable, bankable self-employment projects. Through this scheme, loan support and capital subsidy are provided to eligible beneficiaries for establishing commercially viable enterprises. The scheme is implemented by the Department of Finance, Planning & Investment through District Level Screening Committees (DLSCs) in coordination with banks.
The Arunachal Pradesh Innovation & Investment Park (APIIP) functions as an institutional facilitation and incubation partner for DDUSY. From the current implementation cycle onwards, the State Government has earmarked 50 (fifty) beneficiary quotas under DDUSY for APIIP. Under this arrangement, APIIP is authorised to identify and recommend 50 eligible startups that are selected under the Arunachal Pradesh Entrepreneurship Development Program (APEDP) for support under DDUSY.

While DDUSY remains the financial support scheme providing subsidy and loan benefits, APIIP acts as a structured selection and incubation channel, ensuring that beneficiaries recommended under its quota are entrepreneurially trained, project-ready, and aligned with innovation and startup-led enterprises. Final financial assistance under DDUSY continues to be governed by DDUSY guidelines, bank appraisal, and compliance with eligibility conditions.
