Sample Answer #Question No - 5

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in India are registered and defined under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. MSME is defined as any enterprises engaged in the manufacturing or production, processing or preservation of goods as specified by the act based on their investment in plant and machinery to start business.

In India, MSMEs have been accepted as the engine of economic growth and act as backbone of the national economic structure due to its size and geographical expanse across the country. MSMEs are the second largest employment generating sector and it provides employment to around 120 million persons in India. It provides opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to build creative products boosting business competition and fuels growth.

Despite the enormous growth potential, the MSME sector is plagued with various challenges. One of the major challenges faced by MSMEs are their age-old inefficient methods of operating business and their inertia to adopt technology. By adopting digital technology, they can increase their productivity and revenue by more than 30% but there are many businesses which doesn't even have computer literacy. Another major challenge faced by this sector is inefficient credit facility from commercial banks and financial institutions, it is partly due to weak credit worthiness. Due to unavailability of credit facility they are bound to obtain credit from the money lenders on a very high rate of interest and are, thus, exploitative in character. 

Recently Ministry of Finance announced measures to improve the conditions under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat, there were six announcements including the change in the definition of MSMEs based on Investment. Government has launched improved credit facility including collateral free loans and subordinate debt of Rs. 20,000 crores for stressed MSMEs. These measures will improve the conditions of MSMEs provided that they reach to real beneficiaries.
