Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises(MSME) Registration

As we know, India is a developing nation, People of India mainly depend upon agriculture and this is one of the features of the developing country. But in recent decades we have seen a lot of changes in our economic activities like shifting of agriculture activities towards the other activities including the manufacturing and service sectors activities. Many industries in India came into operation whether it is the manufacturing or service sector. The advancement of technology leads India to operate these activities. And our government also made an unprecedented effort in this sector.

In India, unemployment is increasing day by day, every man needs a job.  The people of India mainly depend upon government jobs for their earnings or their livelihood. People have a lack of will to do their own business, and this may be because of the lack of facilities provided by the government in this field or sector. There was no additional help or benefits by the government to support the people to the businesses.

So the government started or launched an initiative for the small enterprises that intended to run their business in the market. Finally, the government of India established a ministry under the MSME act 2006 to curb the problems encountered by the new enterprises in the market. And this new ministry’s name was the ministry of MSME.

Here the MSME means the micro, small and medium enterprises. so the government has an option through launching this scheme to build the nation self-sufficient and self-dependent in every aspect of necessities.
