The workshop is aimed to strengthen the focus on MSMEs and engage with all stakeholdersto achieve simplification, automation and smoother facilitation of schemes and benefits to MSMEs, thereby further enabling Ease of Doing Business in the State, he added.

During the workshop, an MSME guide detailing the industry cycle from setting up a business to successful operation would be released that would be taken up for discussion later during the sessions. Besides the state officials from the department and agencies concerned, representatives from the ministry would also attend the workshop.

The initiative of the state government would also explore the theme of Make in Chhattisgarh and manufacture the products coming from the other parts of the country. During the workshop, focus would be on the availability of local resources that would be put in use for the MSME to add value.
