    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Sept 28 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Government e- Marketplace is a great thought on providing marketplace to all the sellers, said Arun Kumar Panda, Secretary, Ministry of MSME.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Talking on the National Consultative Workshop for MSMEs, WSHGs and Start-ups on Government e-marketplace Panda said that everyone including Prime Minister Narendra Modi is talking about the immense potential that this e-market place holds for everyone in this country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;He stressed it is not just beneficial for sellers but  for buyers as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Talking about the biggest challenge faced by the government, he said that many of these MSMEs are actually not on digital platforms.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Adding to this he told that there is massive formalization happening. Out of 1.15crore registration in the GSTN, overwhelming large part are actual MSMEs, which is around 1.07crore.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;He requested to all MSMEs, that it will be beneficial for them if they register on all the three portals- GSTN, Udyog Aadhar and GEM. As only then we can contact them, give them handholding support and disseminate information, he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;He suggested various inputs like private sector should also be given a chance to buy from GEM, to have a craft source of ideas from everyone and to have a National drive for making the platforms more powerful.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
