This initiative was announced in the Union Budget for 2013-14. However, the size of the fund and the average money provided to every start-up has not been disclosed by the IT Department, which is handling this initiative. The government is planning to offer m-governance services to more than 700 Aadhaar card holders by the end of 2014.
