Subsidy for a small food processing unit if I am part of a self help group

Yes, PMFME gives special attention to self help groups, so a women SHG making pickles and ready mixes is in a strong position. Apart from the credit linked capital subsidy that any micro unit can get, the scheme provides seed capital to SHG members engaged in food processing, meant as working capital and small tools, given through your SHG federation. Groups, FPOs and cooperatives can also get support for common infrastructure and for branding and marketing of a common product. The practical path is to work through your SHG and its federation or the State Rural Livelihood Mission, which are linked into the scheme, and to take help from the District Resource Person for the project. Keep your group records, bank account and member details in order. Confirm the current seed capital amount per member and the group support terms on the PMFME portal or with your district mission office, because these figures are revised over time.
