ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)
(a) & (b): The Central Government, on 1 July 2025, approved the
Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme, titled the Pradhan Mantri
Viksit Bharat Rojgar Yojana (PMVBRY), to promote employment
generation, enhance employability, and strengthen social security
across all sectors, with a particular focus on the manufacturing
sector. The scheme was launched on 15th August 2025. The scheme
has a registration period of two years from 01.08.2025 to 31.07.2027
and a budgetary outlay of ₹99,446 Crore. The scheme aims to
incentivise creation of more than 3.5 Crore jobs all across the
country, over a period of 2 years including in Meerut Lok Sabha
Constituency.
The PMVBRY is a demand-driven scheme; therefore, there
are no pre-determined state-specific or constituency-specific targets
or fixed financial allocations.
A total of 5.07 lakh establishments have registered under
the scheme nationwide as of 24th March, 2026 including Meerut Lok
Sabha Constituency.
