Telangana’s Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme Offers Up to ₹4 Lakh for Youth Without Ration Card
Key Highlights:
In a major step towards empowering youth, the Telangana government has launched the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme, a financial aid program offering up to ₹4 lakh in self-employment support. The scheme is specially designed for SC, ST, BC, and minority communities and offers a game-changing opportunity—applicants do not need a ration card to qualify.
What is the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme?
Launched in 2025, the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme provides subsidized loans to help unemployed youth establish small businesses or self-employment ventures. The scheme is being executed through various government corporations under unified guidelines.
“The goal is to support marginalized youth with real opportunities for self-reliance,” said Hanumakonda District Minorities Welfare Officer, Muralidhar Reddy.
Who Can Apply?
The scheme is open to youth from:
- Scheduled Castes (SC)
- Scheduled Tribes (ST)
- Backward Classes (BC)
- Minority Communities
Applications are being accepted district-wide, especially in areas like Warangal and Hanumakonda, where awareness drives have already begun.
Flexible Documentation – No Ration Card Needed
A significant relief for many applicants is the relaxed documentation rule. You can apply using either:
- A white ration card number
- OR a valid income certificate
This flexibility removes a major barrier for youth who often face delays obtaining official income documents.
Subsidy & Loan Details Under the Scheme
| Loan Amount Range | Subsidy (%) | Bank Loan (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹50,000 | 100% | 0% |
| ₹50,001 – ₹1 lakh | 90% | 10% |
| ₹1,00,001 – ₹2 lakh | 80% | 20% |
| ₹2,00,001 – ₹4 lakh | 70% | 30% |
This means that even if you’re eligible for the maximum ₹4 lakh, you only need to take a 30% bank loan, while 70% is fully subsidized by the government.
