New Delhi, Oct 20 (KNN) For the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of Leh a national vendor development programme under National Scheduled Caste Scheduled Tribe Hub (NSSH) scheme was organized for the first time ever by Jammu and Kashmir Khadi and Village Industries Board (KVIB) at Leh.

On the occasion, District Development Commissioner of Leh,  Avny Lavasa,  exhorted upon the SC-ST entrepreneurs to avail benefits of central and state-sponsored schemes, especially schemes implemented by Jammu and Kashmir KVIB.

He quoted, “NSSH envisages the holistic development of SC-ST community. It includes economic growth, social development and generation of employment.”

He added that Khadi products are unadulterated, but the unit holders associated with this sector are facing marketing problems.

“Being small industries, the unitholders lack proper knowledge about various marketing initiatives, including tendering process and I expect J&K KVIB through its various interventions to keep these unit holders aware about these initiatives,” said DDC.

NSSH is an initiative of the Government of India to develop a supportive ecosystem to focus on the growth of SC-ST Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), FA&CAO said while giving details about the scheme.

SSP Leh-Sargun Shukla, Financial Adviser and Chief Accounts Officer, KVIB and other concerned attended the function.
