INTRODUCTION
SYMPOSIUM ON GROWTH AND PROSPECTS OF MSME -
Micro Small & Medium scale Enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of the Indian economy as
these enterprises contribute to more than 40% of India's total exports and more than 45% of
the country's industrial output. Such enterprises employ the largest number of people, second
only to the agriculture sector. There have been several attempts to address the challenges
faced by various Governments in the past. These challenges include accessing markets-
international and domestic, credit facilities, accessing modern technology, accessing skilled
manpower and deficiencies in the infrastructure.
To analyze and develop a thorough understanding, it requires focused support and a concerted
effort from multiple stakeholders. Our symposium is keen to focus on keys issues with
observation and recommendations from the experts and professionals of this field.
