    Solution

    The Veerchandra Singh Garhwali Tourism Self Employment Scheme has been a vital initiative for over two decades, specifically addressing the persistent unemployment among youth who have completed their education. One of the key aspects of the scheme is the subsidy provided for non-vehicle items, which has now been increased by 33% in hilly areas, reaching a maximum of ₹15.00 lakh, and in plain areas, it has been raised by 25% to a maximum of ₹25.00 lakhs. Additionally, the subsidy for vehicle items has undergone adjustments, with electric and luxury vehicles now eligible for a 50% subsidy, capped at ₹20.00 lakh. These enhancements are designed to further incentivize and support self-employment initiatives, fostering economic development in both hilly and plain regions.
