The Migrants Employment Generation Programme (MEGP) is designed for Non-Resident Tamils who returned to Tamil Nadu due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The scheme aims to generate employment opportunities by converting eligible returnees into small-scale entrepreneurs through microenterprises in manufacturing, service, and business sectors. It provides collateral-free loans with government subsidy, mandatory entrepreneurship training, and marketing support.
