The Jagriti Incubation Program 2026-27, run by the Jagriti Enterprise Centre Purvanchal (JECP), is a region-focused incubation initiative aimed at nurturing early-stage entrepreneurs and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Eastern Uttar Pradesh (Purvanchal). The program is designed to transform promising business ideas and early ventures into scalable and sustainable brands by providing structured guidance, access to networks, and growth opportunities.
The program focuses on strengthening grassroots entrepreneurship across key districts including Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar, Mau, Ballia, Sant Kabir Nagar, and Maharajganj. It actively promotes inclusive entrepreneurship by reserving 50% of seats for women entrepreneurs, thereby fostering gender-balanced economic development in the region. Entrepreneurs working in green and eco-friendly businesses, digital and tech-led enterprises, crafts-based industries, and other local sectors are especially encouraged to apply.
Participants benefit from a comprehensive incubation ecosystem that includes business development support, mentorship from over 85 experienced experts, structured training programs, and access to a large network of more than 9,000 entrepreneurs. The program also facilitates market linkages and provides co-working space, enabling founders to collaborate and grow in a supportive environment.
