A centre of excellence (CoE) for micro, small and medium enterprises that will support technology adoption, market access and investment linkages for the MSMEs is planned in Telangana, IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu said here on Saturday.
It is being proposed with a focus on promoting products made in Telangana in national and international markets, the Minister said inaugurating the LUB MSME South India Summit, organised by Laghu Udyog Bharati (Telangana).
The MSMEs played a vital role in industrial development and supported the livelihoods of millions of families, he said, highlighting measures the State government has initiated for such enterprises, particularly a dedicated MSME policy to strengthen and improve support for such businesses.
The government was also planning to organise a monthly MSME grievance day to address grievances of their enterprises and facilitate their resolution, Mr. Sridhar Babu said.
Steps were being taken to improve industrial estates in and around Hyderabad, he said, calling upon MSMEs to focus on product quality, technology adoption, skill development and production capacity to remain competitive.
SBI Managing Director Ram Mohan Rao and Laghu Udyog Bharati (Telangana) representatives Y. Venkateswarlu, K. Narendra Nath Dutt and Om Anuj Khadelwal, among others, attended the summit, the Minister’s office said in a release.
