Abstract The Government of Telangana has rolled out T-PRIDE “Telangana State Program for the
Rapid Incubation of Dalit Entrepreneurs” incentives scheme in the year 2014 to foster industrial development which in turn creates employment for rural and urban unemployed youth. The scheme is initiated to for the upliftment of Dalits by providing funding to the SC and ST entrepreneurs. Dalit entrepreneurs get the fiscal incentives in the form of investment subsidy, seed capital, reimbursement of costs incurred in skill upgradation, taxes and other benefits for the establishments under MSME sector. Critical review of literature reveals that there are no studies on evaluating the effectiveness of the scheme from the beneficiaries’ perspective. Hence, the present study is undertaken to fill the research gap. Primary data has been collected from 420 beneficiaries of the scheme on various aspects of the scheme by administering a structured questionnaire. Results of the study indicates that 84.7% of sample beneficiaries are satisfied with the incentives provided under T-PRIDE scheme. Further, it can be said that there in significant association between the beneficiaries’ demographic characteristics and their level of satisfaction. To conclude, if the government creates more awareness about the schemes for Dalit entrepreneurship development among the rural youth it results in more employment generation for the unemployed youth.
