Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Support and Outreach Programme in New Delhi today. On the occasion, various announcements and deliverables focussing on access to credit, access to market, hand-holding and facilitation support to the sector are likely to be announced.

The MSME Outreach Programme will run for 100 days covering 100 Districts throughout the country. Central Ministers are likely to visit these districts to appraise the entrepreneurs about various facilities being extended to MSME sector by the Government and financial institutions.

It is expected that the programme will help in further boosting the MSME since this sector is one of the major generators of employment opportunities and making a significant contribution to the overall growth of the country’s economy
