## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SHRI BHANU PRATAP SINGH VERMA)

- (a): The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) implements many schemes for  promotion  and  development  of  MSMEs  (including  women-owned  MSMEs)  in  the  country, including  Maharashtra.  To  encourage  entrepreneurship  among  women,  the  Ministry  of  MSME implements  Mahila  Coir  Yojana  under  Coir  Vikas  Yojana,  which  is  as  an  exclusive  training programme  aimed  at  skill  development  of  women  artisans  engaged  in  the  Coir  industry.  Two months stipendiary training in coir spinning is imparted through this programme.

The  Ministry  also  implements  Prime  Minister's  Employment  Generation  Programme (PMEGP), which is a major credit-linked subsidy programme aimed at generating self-employment opportunities  through  establishment  of  micro-enterprises  in  the  non-farm  sector  by  helping traditional  artisans  and  rural/urban  unemployed  youth.  For  beneficiaries  belonging  to  categories such  as  Scheduled  Caste/Scheduled  Tribe/OBC  /Minorities/women,  ex-serviceman,  physically handicapped, NER, Hill and Border areas, etc., higher subsidy is given.  The trained artisans under Mahila  Coir  Yojana    are  encouraged  to  avail  assistance  through  PMEGP  scheme  to  set  up  coir units.

Through an amendment to the Public Procurement Policy, the Government has mandated that all Central Ministries/ Departments and Public Sector Undertakings should procure at least 3% of their annual procurement from women owned micro and small enterprises.

The  Ministry  also  implements  several  other  schemes  for  promotion  and  development  of MSMEs,  including  women  owned  MSMEs,  namely,  Micro  and  Small  Enterprises  Cluster Development Programme (MSE-CDP), Tool Rooms & Technology Centres, Scheme of Fund for Regeneration  of  Traditional  Industries  (SFURTI),  Procurement  and  Marketing  Support  Scheme, Entrepreneurship and Skill Development Programme (ESDP)   etc.

- (b):    The State-wise number of beneficiaries of Mahila Coir Yojana and PMEGP in the country, including Maharashtra, for the three years 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 is given in Annexure.

- (c): The  selection  of  beneficiaries  for  these  schemes  is  done  as  per  the  guidelines  of  the respective Scheme. The details of all schemes are available on the website https://msme.gov.in
- (d): The number of persons benefited through Mahila Coir Yojana, PMEGP,  Public Procurement Policy and ESDP, during the years 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 is as follows:
