The MSMEs have registered tremendous growth as also progress
in terms of quality production, exports, innovation, product
development and import substitution, very much beyond the
expected objectives of setting up MSMEs by the planners of

efforts have made it possible to produce 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.
This all has become possible owing to the ambitions and visionary
spirit of entrepreneurs of MSMEs
