The MSME sector is of paramount significance for the economic growth and job creation in India. Low labour to capital ratio in the MSME sector compared to large industries and the wide and diverse geographic distribution of these enterprises make them crucial for inclusive and equitable growth across India. These enterprises are a source of healthy competition in the economy. Through the promotion of economic dynamism and innovation, they stimulate entrepreneurial spirit and the diffusion of skills in rural as well as urban areas.
Limited information, low skill sets, cumbersome registration /bidding/contracting procedures, payment delays are the major access barriers to public procurement market by MSME. Therefore, in addition to the procurement goal, the policy also advises procuring organizations to take actions (vendor development programme, buyer-seller meets, and outreach activities) which enhance MSE’s ability to participate in public procurement. This is being undertaken by most of the organizations in different formats and with varying degree of impact.
Confederation of Indian Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Global Council for Cluster Excellence and Research in association with MSME Development Institute, Ministry of MSME, Government of India is proud to organize National Vendor Development Programme for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) on 25th November 2021 (Virtually) with the objective of enhancing the market linkages of MSMEs through strong supplier networks under our #BrandIndia10000SMEs mission.
