The CEO SMEDA said 100,000 persons will be given loans through the scheme and almost 10 million people will take benefit out of it, including family members of the young business holders and those who will get jobs through these businesses. “When a person will start business he will purchase inputs from some other person this will generate a business activity having far reaching impact on economy”, he said. “The government has rightly used the private sector for employment as the private sector is engine of economic growth” , he said. Sukhera said the SMEDA’s role for the scheme was just of an advisory as it provided ‘know how’ to the interested persons for starting businesses. He said the SMEDA website www.smeda.org.pk <http://www.smeda.org.pk> was a one stop solution to all of the questionnaires related with it. The women should preferably depend upon the SMEDA website instead of moving out to collect information for the PMYBL Scheme, he said. Entire information and documents of the scheme along with 56 pre-feasibilities of various business sectors were available in Urdu language as well for convenience of semi-educated young men and women, he informed. |
