Promotion of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
MSMEs play a vital role in achieving balanced growth and in creating employment opportunities. They also form an integral part of the value chain of the larger industrial ecosystem. As part of this policy, a focused scheme has been developed to further strengthen the MSME ecosystem in the state. Some of the initiatives already taken by the Government are enlisted below:

While the MSME growth has been commendable, interventions are required to be explored in areas such as: sub-optimal scale of operation, need for increasing exports, need for integration with the global supply chain, access to global markets, effective management of working capital, availability of skilled manpower and increasing domestic & global competition.
