## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

- (a): The Ministry of MSME implements many schemes for promoting entrepreneurship, including among women, in all the States/UTs in the country, including Assam and Tripura.   The Ministry's flagship  programme  'Prime  Minister's  Employment  Generation  Programme  (PMEGP)  provides assistance to entrepreneurs for setting up new enterprises in the non-farm sector. It aims at providing employment opportunities to traditional artisans/ rural and urban unemployed youth at their doorstep by providing margin money subsidy of 25% of project cost in rural areas and 15% in urban areas (max project cost is Rs. 50 lakhs in manufacturing sector and Rs. 20 lakhs in service sector).  However, for beneficiaries  belonging  to  categories  such  as  Scheduled  Caste,  Scheduled  Tribes,  OBCs,  Minorities and  women,  ex-servicemen,  physically  handicapped,  transgender,  NER  and  Hilly  and  border  areas, and aspiration districts, the margin money subsidy is higher at 35% in rural areas and 25% in urban areas.

The Ministry of MSME also implements the Credit Guarantee Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises  through  the  Credit  Guarantee  Fund  Trust  for  Micro  and  Small  Enterprises  (CGTMSE). Credit Guarantee is provided to the member lending institutions for credit facilities extended by them to  MSEs  without  any  collateral  security  and  third-party  guarantee  for  all  eligible  activities.    The MSME  Sustainable  (ZED)  Certification  Scheme  enables  MSMEs  to  manufacture  quality  products using latest technology, tools &to constantly upgrade their processes for achievement of high quality and high productivity with the least effect on the environment.  For  Women owned MSMEs, 100% subsidy  on  cost  of  certification  is  provisioned  at  all  levels  of  Certifications . The  Ministry  also implements  Mahila  Coir  Yojana(MCY),  which  envisages  training  women  artisans  with  an  aim  to provide  self-employment  opportunities  to  rural  women  artisans  in  the  manufacture  of  coir  and  coir products. The two-month training programme under MCY is stipendiary in nature.
