Objective
The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India have undergone a vast development in the last five decades registering a tremendous growth
as well as the progress in terms of quality production, exports, innovation, product and process development. Entrepreneurial efforts have made it
possible to produce a number of items, which hitherto were imported. In quite a few cases new variants so produced are having additional attributes
than their original versions and are capable of solving a multitude of user problems.
The Indian entrepreneurs are very creative to innovate new products and processes as well as provide innovative services to remain competitive in
domestic and global market. To encourage such innovative efforts and promote their spirit in larger interest of qualitative development of MSME,
the Ministry of MSME recognizes the contributions of these entrepreneurs for their outstanding performance and motivate and encourage them by
conferring awards at the National Level.
Additionally, in order to motivate the State/ UT Government and Aspirational Districts for the development and growth of MSMEs in their area of
jurisdiction, provision of rankings at the National level for the State/ UT Government and Aspirational Districts has also been made
accordingly.
Similarly, provision of rankings has also been made for the bankers for their excellence in the credit lending to Micro and Small Enterprises.
