Assam's CMAAA Sees Mixed Utilization and Low Credit Uptake Among Beneficiaries
Assam's Chief Minister's Atmanirbhar Asom Abhiyan (CMAAA) aims to promote entrepreneurship among youth by providing financial aid and skill training. In the first phase, over 25,000 beneficiaries received assistance, but only about half qualified for the second instalment after assessments found many had not utilized funds properly. Despite government support, credit linkage uptake remains low, with only 329 entrepreneurs securing additional funding. The government continues monitoring to ensure effective use and sustainable business growth under CMAAA 2.0.
