Jagriti Enterprise Centre

Jagriti Enterprise Centre-Purvanchal (JEC-P) is a state-of-the-art incubation centre established in 2018 to build a strong enterprise ecosystem in small towns and villages of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Operating through its 3xI framework centred on Incubation, Innovation, and Inspiration, JEC-P provides entrepreneurs with market access, mentorship from over 85 domain experts, structured training, and access to a network of more than 9,000 entrepreneurs.

The programme is supported by on-ground Udyam Corps and Udyam Mitras who deliver entrepreneurship training and operational assistance across the Purvanchal region. Enterprises accepted into the incubation programme receive three core services: market access, mentorship, and funding support. JEC-P actively promotes inclusive entrepreneurship by reserving 50 percent of seats for women entrepreneurs, fostering gender-balanced economic development across key districts including Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar, Mau, Ballia, and Sant Kabir Nagar.
