I Am Engineering graduate. BE-IT and want to start my own business based on 1.Agriculture & its processed products 2.S/w Developement & cybercafe. my case: currently i am working in firm as a software developer earning 6000/- per month. I have Already taken high interest education loan for my studies. Now In order to Repay it i want to go for my own business. With the help of education loan i was able toget my desired education. if an low interest loan is provided by the govt. i can built a new life again by completly paying the high interest edu. loan .and creating my own business firm

If you are repaying a loan, it would not be advisable to consider setting up a business at all. Taking up funding for a business venture and using it to repay an educational loan is the wrong idea and destined to make your business venture fail anyway. Instead, use your current work experience to move on gradually to a better paying job and then repay the loan before considering a business venture. Alternatively, look for a better paid job and start working on your business idea and look for someone who would be willing to invest funds for the business idea you have.
