Government to simplify procedures for MSME sector by adopting a single window clearing system: Kalraj Mishra

VARANASI: "The MSME Ministry will adopt a single window system so that all approvals, including NOCs and licences, get completed within a period of less than 15 days," Union Minister Kalraj Mishra said today.

"Our efforts are to provide maximum facilities to entrepreneurs so that they can come forward to set up business units under the MSME ministry to generate employment for a large number of people," he told reporters here.

"We will simplify all the procedures required for setting up of business units and even help will be sought from other ministries concerned to cooperate in resolving various issues of entrepreneurs such as getting NOCs, so that all the process of setting up business units must get completed within a period of less than 15 days," the MSME Minister said.

Mishra blamed the work culture during the UPA regime in the last one decade for corruption in the MSME Ministry.

"Our focus is to promote village industry so that small business unit must be set up in villages, we want villages to become 'self-dependent' and generate employment in rural belts.

The sole work of MSME at this juncture is to spread awareness and promote skill developments among youngsters."

He said, if all the schemes of MSME's are properly and effectively implemented then the prevailing Regional Economic Imbalances can be solved.
