People can set up businesses in the field of "leather work, dry cleaning, garments, tailoring and electronics" in the allotted work sheds, according to a statement.

"Due to rising inflation and the pandemic, many people were unable to pay the rent of their shops and lost businesses. Many such small businesses are owned by people belonging to Scheduled Castes. Through this scheme, work sheds are being provided to the people so that they can start their own business and become self-reliant," the statement quoted the minister as having said.
