The Telangana government has taken another progressive step to uplift the lives of unemployed youth through the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme, a flagship initiative aimed at providing financial support and self-employment opportunities. If you are a young aspirant seeking a stable future, this scheme brings not one but two major updates that could change your life.
The Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme is an ambitious welfare program launched by the Telangana Government to support unemployed youth financially. Under this scheme, eligible beneficiaries can receive up to ₹4 lakh in financial assistance to start their own businesses or pursue self-employment ventures.
In a recent teleconference led by Hyderabad District Collector Anudeep Durishetty, officials have been directed to complete scrutiny of applications by the 15th of this month and forward them to the concerned banks.
Over 1.28 lakh applications have been received under the scheme so far.
1.11 lakh applications have already been screened at the mandal level.
Details of nearly 40,000 applications have been forwarded to respective banks for further evaluation.
Final letters of sanction will be issued by June 2nd, ensuring transparency and timely benefit delivery.
Instructions were issued to:
Mandal-level convenors
Corporation officials
LDM (Lead District Manager)
GHMC zonal officers
These stakeholders are now working round-the-clock to ensure eligible beneficiaries do not face delays.
Applicants who have submitted online applications but haven't uploaded required documents are advised to immediately visit their local ward office and complete the submission. Delays in document submission might result in a missed opportunity.
In a major relief to youth worried about their credit history, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka has clarified that:
CIBIL scores will not be considered for eligibility.
There is no "credit score barrier" under this scheme.
The primary aim is to support deserving and eligible youth, regardless of their credit background.
This clarification debunks widespread rumors and gives hope to thousands.
Must be a resident of Telangana
Should fall under the unemployed youth category
Applicants may need to submit basic identification and financial documents
Priority may be given to marginalized sections or economically weaker families
(Exact eligibility criteria should be verified with the official portal or ward office.)
| Date | Activity |
| May 15 | Final application scrutiny deadline |
| May 16-31 | Bank verification & document processing |
| June 2 | Sanction letters to be issued |
This scheme not only offers a substantial financial grant of ₹4 lakh, but it also provides:
A dignified path to self-employment
A solution to chronic unemployment
State-level assurance of fairness and transparency
It marks a positive shift toward economic empowerment and self-reliance among Telangana's youth.
The Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme is more than just a financial initiative-it is a lifeline for thousands of job-seeking youth in Telangana. With fast-tracked processing, relaxed credit requirements, and robust government backing, this is the perfect time to take a step toward self-employment and financial independence.
