During a New Year greeting and get-together programme held in the Tharad assembly constituency, Assembly Speaker and Banas Dairy Chairman Shankar Chaudhary made an ambitious announcement for the industrial development of the Vav-Tharad district. According to a report by ABP Asmita, Shankar Chaudhary has declared a resolve to prepare 1 thousand startups in this area. The primary objective of this initiative is to provide employment to local youth and give new momentum to the industrial development of the region.

Under this scheme, the government will provide an attractive subsidy of up to 45 per cent to startups. Addressing the gathering, Shankar Chaudhary stated that when the youth of this area wish to start their own new business or initiative and require a loan, he will personally take the loan guarantee for all such startups. Through this announcement, an attempt has been made to encourage youth to become entrepreneurs by providing them with financial security.

To make this campaign successful, Shankar Chaudhary did not only accept the responsibility himself but also specially urged all MLAs of the Vav-Tharad district to shoulder this responsibility with dedication. He insisted that all public representatives work together to achieve this goal so that the overall development of the area can take place.

Following the government's announcement of a 45 per cent subsidy, great enthusiasm is being seen among the youth and entrepreneurs of the Vav-Tharad region. These areas of North Gujarat are generally considered backward, resulting in fewer employment opportunities. It is expected that this Herculean effort will create new employment opportunities in these backward areas and provide unprecedented momentum to economic development.

In the coming times, this startup policy will prove to be a milestone in strengthening the local economy and making the youth self-reliant. Through this scheme, youth will get the opportunity to do business in their own area, allowing them to achieve economic progress locally instead of migrating.

Shankar Chaudhary clarified during the programme that the progress of the youth is the progress of the region. His readiness to provide loan guarantees demonstrates his desire to support the entrepreneurial ideas of the youth. The implementation of this scheme will lead to the establishment of new industries in the Vav-Tharad district, which will also create ancillary employment.

This entire initiative is likely to change the economic map of North Gujarat. The combination of government subsidies and Shankar Chaudhary's personal guarantee will remove capital problems for new entrepreneurs, enabling them to start their startups with confidence. A large number of locals and youth were present at the programme, who hold great hope for this new policy.
