The maximum number of NVDPs was organized in Karnataka. Against the target of seven, four programmes have already been conducted this year with three in Bangalore and one in Hubli.
This information was given by Minister of State for MSME, K H Muniyappa in the Lok Sabha today.
On the other hand, while the target was to conduct four programmes in Agra, Kanpur and Allahabad, none has been done so far as per the government data.
Same is true about Punjab, Jharkhand and Haryana.
The Ministry of MSME is operating a scheme “Vendor Development Programme For Ancillarisation” under which National Vendor Development Programmes (NVDP) are being organized across the country through their field offices namely MSME-Development Institutes (DIs). In NVDPs, MSME exhibits their products and services.
Central Public Sector Units (CPSU) and large corporates participate in the programme to indicate their requirements as a buyer and MSMEs participate to exhibits their products as sellers. A buyers - sellers meet is organized in the programme. A seminar is also organized on awareness of various schemes of DC (MSME) particularly Public Procurement Policy 2012 in which 20 per cent of the annual procurement of CPSUs is mandatory to procure from Micro and Small Enterprises. Duration of NVDP is normally two to three days. (KNN/SD)
