How can a graduate start a 'Government Scheme Consultancy' service, assisting local families and seniors with form-filling and application processes?

The 'Local Empowerment' Facilitator 🇮🇳📑 You are translating complex bureaucracy into simple, accessible help, making government schemes reachable for the digitally challenged. 1. Expertise & Database: You must be the absolute expert on 5-6 high-demand, locally relevant schemes: * Senior Schemes: Pension schemes (Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana), health insurance (Ayushman Bharat). * Family/Women Schemes: Subsidies for education, Ujjwala Yojana. * General Schemes: PAN/Aadhaar updates, voter ID registration. * Create a simple, constantly updated database of eligibility, required documents, and application deadlines for these schemes. 2. Physical Setup & Trust: Set up a small, clean, professional office (even a single room). You need a reliable computer, internet, a printer, and a scanner. Physical presence builds trust among the target demographic. 3. Pricing Model: Charge a fixed, transparent fee per application. (e.g., ₹150 for a pension form fill, ₹300 for a complex subsidy application). Never charge for the scheme benefit itself; charge only for your assistance and time. 4. Marketing: Use simple, printed flyers in the local language at post offices, bus stops, local temples, and community centers. Word-of-mouth from satisfied seniors will be your most powerful marketing tool. Focus on ethical boundaries: You facilitate the process; you do not guarantee the approval of the government.
