## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SHRI GIRIRAJ SINGH)

(a) to (e): Micro,  Small  and  Medium  Enterprises  (MSMEs)  sector  registered  2.72%  to 6.76%  growth rate in the country during the years 2012-13 to 2016-17.

57,54,490  MSMEs were registered on Udyog Aadhaar (UA) Portal in the country as on 18.12.2018. As per the 73 rd Round of National Sample Survey (NSS)  (July, 2015 - June, 2016), conducted by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, 1109.89 lakh persons  were  employed  in  unincorporated  non-agricultural  Micro,  Small  and  Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) (excluding construction).  The State-wise details of MSMEs registered on UA portal and MSMEs as per 73 rd round of NSS are given in Annexure.

The challenges  faced  by  MSME  sector  relate  to  the  constraints  of  finance,  market, skilled  work  force,  technology  etc.  Keeping  in  view  these  constraints,  the  Government emphasizes  the  promotion  of  conducive  ecosystem  for  development  of  MSMEs  in  the country.  Accordingly,  various  programmes/schemes  have been  put  in  place  with  particular focus on facilitation of access to finance, skill development, infrastructure support, access to market, technology upgradation and ease of doing business.
