Overview
What is Government Grants?
Grants are funds that usually do not need to be repaid and do not take equity. Government grants typically support innovation, research, prototypes or specific sectors, and are awarded through competitive selection.
Programmes may be run by ministries, departments, state startup missions or designated incubators. Most release funds in tranches linked to milestones and require reporting on how the money is used.
A strong grant application clearly explains the problem, the innovation, the plan and the budget. Approval, amount and terms are decided by the bank, lender, investor or agency concerned — not by AAVKARSETU.
