The Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation (KMDC) has announced the launch of the Vrutti Protsaha Loan Scheme 2025, inviting applications from eligible beneficiaries across Karnataka. This scheme has been introduced as a replacement for the earlier self-employment scheme and is aimed at empowering minority communities by supporting them in undertaking diverse economic activities.
