Thousands of scheduled caste youth aged between 18 and 35 years joined the Delhi BJP's Scheduled Caste Yuva Sammelan at Jawahar lal Nehru Stadium on Sunday.
While addressing the Sammelan Union Minister Arjun Meghwal apprised the youth of the improved vocational, professional and business opportunities being provided for scheduled caste youths by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Arjun Meghwal said even as the benefits of social welfare schemes are fast reaching society, the Prime Minister himself stands committed to improve the lives of scheduled caste youth specially women.
"Under this scheme youth are getting loans of `50 lakhs to `15 crores and the Modi Government itself is standing guarantee for 80 per cent of the loan amount.
All Banks have been told that one member of the SC community must benefit from this in every branch. Soon we will see a force of over 2.5 lacs scheduled caste entrepreneurs extending jobs for their brothers,"said the Minister.
