Hello friends! I’m planning to apply for the CMEGP (Chief Minister Employment Generation Programme) in 2025 to start my business 
. But I’m confused about the complete list of documents needed for the application. Do we need project report, caste certificate, Aadhaar, etc.? Also, is there a specific format or checklist provided by the government? If anyone has applied already or has the official list, please share it here. It will help many first-time applicants like me.
