Government of Meghalaya
Funding & Schemes
Up to ₹50,000 in seed funding for student entrepreneurs in Meghalaya's colleges and universities — turning ideas into ventures.
About the Fund
PRIME has established a dedicated funding vehicle for students or student teams working on innovative, entrepreneurship-related business and research ideas. This initiative is part of PRIME's Entrepreneurship Promotion and Development Programmes (EPDP) for academic institutes in Meghalaya.
Based on recommendations brought forward by the E-Cells of PRIME-supported academic institutes, a grant of up to ₹50,000 is disbursed directly to the student team to develop their idea.
Students who successfully implement their funded project are closely linked to PRIME's broader ecosystem — gaining access to pre-incubation, incubation, and advanced funding programmes.
