The Micro Enterprises Promotion Program (MEPP) is a five-year initiative implemented by YouthNet in partnership with SIDBI. The program aims to help people in Nagaland start and grow small businesses by connecting them with banks and other financial institutions for credit support.
About the Program
Through MEPP, YouthNet will promote and support at least 500 micro-enterprises across Nagaland. These enterprises will include businesses in the manufacturing, service, and trading sectors. Each enterprise will be guided to become a formally registered and sustainable business with Udyam registration and other necessary documents.
