“MSME is the largest sector to offer employment in India. However, it has suffered a tremendous loss due to the global pandemic. To come out of the disastrous situation we are taking steps via our flagship programme ‘Aatma Nirbhar Bharat’ that will introspect and uplift homegrown brands. We are working on the revival of every sphere to bring the economy back on track. Currently our core attention is MSMEs and Agricultural activities and we will offer Rs 3 lakh crore as collateral free or unsecured loan to MSMEs with an annual turnover of Rs 100 crore or an outstanding loan of Rs 25 crore. Further, loans of Rs 20,000 crore will be given to stressed MSMEs. It will help resume businesses, reduce dependence on other countries and strengthen the supply chain.” Shri Pratap Chandra Sarangi, Hon’Minister of State – Government of India – Dairy, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and MSME

We are also focussing on women in rural areas and encouraging them to form clusters to operate solar charkha which will cover employment and earnings.”
“Aatma Nirbhar Bharat is the vision of our honourable Prime Minister towards making India a self-reliant nation and the Time2Leap Awards is an initiative that is in line with this towards recognising the efforts of our industry and encouraging them further. I believe the fundamental concept of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat goes back to Bapu’s time wherein he tells us that we should work in such a way that it benefits even the poorest in the country and society. One of the primary objectives of this awards is to encourage more production in India and to implement better recycling facilities. India’s agriculture sector, our farmers and our villages are crucial to the success of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat in the long run” says Shri. Pratap Chandra Sarangi -Hon’ Minister of State – Government of India – Dairy, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and MSME.”
The micro, small, medium enterprises and Start-Up sector is the backbone of the Indian economy & It is very important for private organizations, to step-in and support the sector by providing them platforms like the #Time2Leap Awards, to showcase their innovations, sustainable and global Make in India concepts.
The platform also aims to deliver a strategic roadmap to all its participants on subjects of key importance like low-carbon, sustainable, rural developments and empower the MSME’s and Start-ups at a Pan – India level.
