Half of these beneficiary MSMEs will be women-owned enterprises, said Union Minister for MSME, Jitan Ram Manjhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“MSMEs will be a key force in the movement towards Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat,” the minister added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a fast-changing industrial landscape, the MSMEs need to align themselves to adopting digital and technological solutions, the minister noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another ministry initiative called the ‘Yashasvini’ campaign, is a series of mass awareness campaigns for formalising women-owned informal micro enterprises and providing capacity building, training, handholding and mentorship to the women-owned enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
