## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): Government of India has been actively taking several steps to increase the utilization of digital technology and infrastructure through Digital India flagship programme to transform India into digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. Under the Digital India programme, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) offers services on Digital Infrastructure as a Utility, Governance and Services on Demand, Digital Empowerment of Citizens and MSMEs. Digital payments are also done by MSMEs through different digital platform. In order to  improve and  increase  the  integration  of  above  technologies  to  help  MSMEs    for  digitalisation  across  the country, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) runs various schemes and initiatives,  which  inter-alia  includes  the  Udyam  Portal,  MSME  Champions  Portal,  Government  eMarketplace  (GeM),  Trade  Receivables  Discounting  System  (TReDS),  MSME  Mart,  MSME SAMBANDH, and Online Dispute Resolution  (ODR)  portal,  enabling  digital  registrations,  online procurement, e-market access, receivable financing, and grievance redressal.

These schemes are implemented through their respective implementing agencies and funds are released  to  the  IAs.  Since  all  these  schemes  are  Central  Sector  Schemes,  no  funds  are  released directly  to  States.  All  these  programmes  have  separate  provision  for  organizing  training  and awareness  programmes which  are  being  organised  in all  over  the  country  including  the  Anandpur Sahib city in the State of Punjab. Udyam Registration enables the MSMEs to avail the benefits under different schemes of the Ministry and the Udyam registration details (All India, Punjab & Rupnagar District including Anandpur Sahib) are as follows:

(d) & (e): Government periodically assesses the extent of digital adoption among Micro, Small, and  Medium  Enterprises  (MSMEs),  covering  aspects  such  as  e-commerce  platforms,  digital accounting,  supply  chain  digitization,  and  participation  in  platforms  like  the  Government  eMarketplace (GeM) and Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) through evaluation studies in collaboration with industry and research institutions. The Output-Outcome Monitoring Framework of NITI  Aayog's  is  another  institutional  mechanism  to  evaluate  the  outcome  of  such  schemes.  The digital initiatives are playing an important role for implementing several schemes and programmes in the Ministry and to boost sales, production and connectivity for MSMEs.
