The Haryana government has launched a new and beneficial scheme, 'Home Stay,' aimed at empowering youth and making them self-reliant. Under this scheme, young people will receive free training to operate their spare rooms as guesthouses.
Haryana Home Stay Scheme: The Haryana government has launched the 'Home Stay Scheme,' providing youth with a significant opportunity for self-employment and economic empowerment. Under this scheme, young people aged 15 to 29 can convert their spare rooms into guesthouses, earning up to ₹10,000 per day. Launched under Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's leadership, this scheme is a crucial part of the 'Self-Reliant Youth – Self-Reliant Haryana' vision. It will provide youth with free training and a sustainable source of employment.
A Golden Opportunity for Employment from Home
The Haryana government's Home Stay scheme presents an innovative employment avenue for young people. Selected youth can convert spare rooms or parts of their flats into guesthouses, providing accommodation to tourists and travelers. This will not only benefit them financially but also encourage the state's tourism sector. Importantly, youth will receive free training under this scheme to successfully run their home stay businesses.
Application Deadline: June 6, 2025
The application process for interested youth has begun. The deadline for applications is June 6, 2025. Youth can apply by filling out the form on the government website, http://itiharyana.gov.in, or by submitting their application to their district's nodal ITI office. The application process has been simplified to ensure easy participation for all youth.
What will the Free Training Include?
The scheme will provide training to youth in home stay management, hospitality, cleaning, customer service, and essential tourism-related skills. This training will be particularly beneficial for economically weaker sections seeking stable employment opportunities. The training will also teach youth how to make their homes attractive and convenient guesthouses to attract more tourists.
Statewide Expansion of the Scheme
The Home Stay scheme was successfully implemented in Gurugram, Faridabad, Kurukshetra, and Panchkula. The government has now decided to expand it across Haryana so that youth from all districts can become economically self-reliant. This will also create new employment opportunities for youth in rural and semi-urban areas.
The Haryana government aims to ensure that youth do not have to leave home in search of employment but can become financially b from their own homes. This scheme will not only provide youth with a new source of income but also boost the state's tourism sector. The Home Stay scheme will preserve local culture and traditions as tourists will experience local culture firsthand.
Furthermore, this scheme will empower women and youth by providing them with the opportunity to work from home. The government has made the scheme simple and transparent so that any youth can benefit from it.
