National Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Day: Dedicated to those contributing to making India a top 3 economy globally

Today, India celebrates National Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Day, recognizing the significant contribution of this sector to the country's economy. MSMEs make up over 40% of industrial production and offer a diverse range of products and services, including intermediate goods for larger industries. They are critical to employment generation and form the backbone of the Indian economy. The Indian government designated National MSME Day in 2001 to showcase the sector's importance.
