The Arunachal Pradesh government started the Early Stage Start-Up Seed Fund in 2021 as a part of the Arunachal Pradesh Startup Policy. So that those who want to start a startup do not face any money-related problems. Any business idea is encouraged through seed capital.
Its objective is that new businessmen who have financial problems do not face those issues. Young people of Arunachal Pradesh should not depend only on jobs. They should focus on startups. To start a business, there are many stages, like research, product testing, and market entry, so that there is no problem in all these stages. So that the overall growth of the state can happen.
Objectives of This Scheme
At the beginning of a business, there are many money-related problems, so at that time, they should not face any issues. Instead of waiting year after year for jobs, the youth of Arunachal Pradesh should be able to concentrate on business. To start a startup, research has to be done, product testing has to be done, and the product that is made has to be brought into the market, so there should be no problems in all these stages.
