The catch
The ₹3 crore is a shared pool, not one award, and the page does not say whether it is a grant. Villgro's other support can include equity or debt, so confirm the terms first.
We read this on the official page on 4 November 2026. Rules and dates change, so confirm there before you apply. Founders Wing is not connected to this scheme, does not help with applications and never charges for access to it.
