Launch of Startup India Movement
Dear all,
Our Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the ambitious ‘Startup India’ campaign to boost digital entrepreneurship on 16/01/2016 in Vigyan Bhavan at New Delhi.
"Start Up India" is a revolutionary scheme that has been started to help the people who wish to start their own business. These people have ideas and capability, so the government will give them support to make sure they can implement their ideas and grow. Success of this scheme will eventually make India, a better economy and a strong nation.
Here are top 10 key takeaways of PM Modi's action plan for Startup India campaign:
1. Startup India action plan: Self-certification based compliance and no inspection for the first three years.
