        abstract = {India is the 2nd largest populated country in the world. India faces problem of unemployment, poverty, illiteracy etc. all stems from population problem. It is not possible for any country to provide Govt. job to all its residents but it has always been the efforts of GOI and all State Governments to remove poverty and raise standard of living of its citizens. Since 1947 after independence GOI and various State Govts had launched many Self-employment schemes under which some low-rate finance/subsidy is provided to the unemployed youths to setup their small/ medium occupation/business units, so that they can engage themselves for generating income. Self-employment means working for oneself rather than working for salary. Technically self-employment person tends to be skilled in a specific activity. A Self-employed person enjoys a high degree of freedom and control over their decision making of his units. Of course, there is a risk of uncertain income, unlimited liability/bearing of business losses. This paper focuses the problems faced by rural youth covered under self-employment schemes. The present study was carried out on rural youths of five villages to know the problems of various prevalent unemployment schemes like Prime Minister Employment Generation Programme, Self-Employment schemes for Backward Community, Self-Employment schemes for Schedule Cast, Self-Employment schemes for Women Welfare and Self-Employment schemes for Minority Community. The ‘Scheme for Schedule Caste’ face high degree of problems (Lack of awareness Of Government Programmes, Terms and conditions of getting assistance, Lack of required skills, Insufficiency of fund according to your requirements, Mandatory condition for bailment of immovable property against loan amount).},
