Speaking on the occasion, President of Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DICCI)-Nagpur Chapter, Nischchay Shelke said, “On November 2, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had selected 80 districts in the country for the Outreach Programme. Nagpur district was one of them. It had done commendable job in implementing the scheme. The scheme helped in creating awareness about giving subsidy to startups and loan schemes designed by the Government especially for the MSMEs.”

He said that the scheme provided a single platform where Government departments and banks worked in tandem. Banks reached to the doorsteps of the MSMEs to provide financial aid. This would definitely create huge employment to the jobless people.
