A Study on Start-up India: A Governmental Initiative to Boost Entrepreneurship, Growth and Employment Generation of Tribal Youth of TSP Region of Southern Rajasthan

Abstract

The age range of 15 to 59 accounts for more than 60% of Indians, a group dubbed as the "Demographic Dividend" in that country. India is now going through a demographic change. Before India to take advantage of this dividend, the labour market needs to be capable of producing enough jobs to effectively absorb this economically engaged population. The Indian government has put in place a number of initiatives to create jobs, such as "Skill India," which seeks to train over 40 crore people by 2022, whether through self-employment or paid work. The Indian government has introduced "Start-up India," a programme intended to aid start-ups, in order to inspire young people to build their own enterprises and jobs. Young people offer a rich supply of potential employees for firms since they are frequently the driving force behind innovative concepts and technologies. In order to support the growth and development of Tribal Youth in the TSP region of Southern Rajasthan, the Indian government has created several flagship programmes, including Start-up India and Make in India, Digital India, Skill India, and others. This study evaluates these programmes.
