SIDBI SWAVALAMBAN scheme

  • ATPAR has been in talks with SIDBI officials at the highest level since June 2019 to include Entrepreneurs with Disabilities for grants and loans .
  • NEDAR member Mohamed Tariff who is into garment manufacturing was covered under their Swavalamban Program in August 2019.His story under “ meet the Hero “ section was published in 80 newspapers across India.
  • SIDBI executive visited 6 of NEDAR entrepreneurs, to access their business.
  • SIDBI  supported Mr. Jaiprakash who manufactures speakers with a grant to buy a Magnetizer machine, which resulted in  enhanced income as he can now manufacture bigger speakers with higher profit margins.
  • SIDBI has appointed ATPAR as Implementing Partners to route grants to NEDAR members.
  • SIDBI has since indicated that they have put an online process to address such cases and have already released grants to about 12 Entrepreneurs with Disabilities
  • This is of immense benefit to the Entrepreneurs with Disabilities across the country, who are motivated but find it difficult to get seed money
