Highlighting the efforts made by MSME Ministry, Mr. Kalraj Mishra said that two months back, a radical simplification was carried out in the process of registration by creating an online Udyog Aadhar Portal which now only has one-page form. The Minister said that online filing on this portal can be done in just three minutes to get registration without spending any money. Highlighting the success of such efforts on Ease of Doing Business, the MSME Minister said that more than 1,60,000 registrations have taken place within two months of launch of the Aadhar portal. Highlighting that the flow of credit to the MSME sector was of paramount necessity for increasing exports, Mr. Mishra said that provisions have been made for collateral free loan for an amount of upto Rs.1 crore. The Minister praised the MSME entrepreneurs for having withstood the global slowdown and ensuring export growth in the MSME sector. Mr. Kalraj Mishra said that MSME is a sector that projects a nation to growth. When the entrepreneurial mentality develops, self-reliance will also happen. Earlier, delivering the address as the Guest of Honour, Mr. Arvind Mehta, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Commerce, said that the contribution of MSME was notable in ensuring a consistent growth in the exports from this sector notwithstanding an overall slowdown in the global economy.
