MSMEs have registered tremendous growth and progress in terms of quality of production, exports, innovation, product development and import substitution, very much beyond the expected objectives of the setting up of MSMEs. Entrepreneurial efforts have made it possible to produce a number of items, which were hitherto imported. In quite a few cases new variants so produced are having additional attributes over their original versions and are capable of solving a multitude of user problems. All this has become possible owing to the ambitions and visionary spirit of entrepreneurs of MSMEs. The MoMSME with a view to recognising the efforts and contribution of MSMEs, gives National Awards annually to selected entrepreneurs and enterprises under the scheme of NationalAwards.
