The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector

has been the key focus of policymakers from the central
government and state governments as it is very
important for overall economic growth and
development in terms of employment, value chain
creation, foreign exchange earnings, support to large
industries, promotion of regional balance and
inclusive development etc. MSMEs contribute around
30 per cent to India's GDP, employ about 11 crore
people, constitute nearly 40 per cent of total exports,
and more than half of them are located in rural India. It
represents 95 percent of all companies worldwide and
accounting for 60 percent of employment. In developing
economies, they contribute to around 35 per cent of GDP
and in developed countries its around 50 per cent.

Keeping in mind the contribution and significance of the

MSME industries to overall economic growth and development, governments are focusing on the revival of
this sector to achieve inclusive growth thereby attaining self-reliance (Aatmanirbhar Bharat).

Considering the significance of MSMEs' in the Indian Economy, ASSOCHAM has been working closely with
industries and government at States and Centre to the revival of MSMEs' and building competitiveness

MSMEs' competitiveness across India. Last year, we have successfully implemented all MSME related
activities during the last year and this year also, we have planned series of initiatives for MSMEs.
