Through its Startup Policy and Implementation Plan 2022, the Madhya Pradesh government aims to promote startups and encourage entrepreneurs in the state. This start-up policy has provisions to strengthen and bring to reality the entrepreneurial ideas of the youth of the state, noted the state government in an official statement.
The government has planned a slew of events across the state to drive awareness about the Madhya Pradesh Startup Policy. Under the start-up policy, the government will set up a start-up centre to support entrepreneurs. Elaborating on the uniqueness of the policy, P. Narhari, Secretary MSME Department of the Government of Madhya Pradesh said, "The new Startup Policy is quite different from the old policy. One important feature being added in the MP Startup Policy 2022 is the concept of 'MP Startup Centre'.

The startup centre will have a dedicated office, a head/mentor for every startup and experts from the relevant field, who will help the startup community."
