MSME Sector emerges as engine of self-reliant India vision: Rekha Mahajan

JAMMU, Dec 16: BJP J&K Vice President and Prabhari Samba, Rekha Mahajan, today felicitated Ravi Sharma, proprietor of Jayesh Angile Wear along with his dedicated team for their contribution to local manufacturing.

The unit is engaged in the production of various types of uniforms, track suits, T-shirts, shirts and pants, providing quality products while generating employment at the local level.

Rekha Mahajan appreciated the entrepreneurial spirit of the proprietor and his team, stating that such small manufacturing units play a vital role in strengthening the MSME sector, promoting self-employment and contributing to the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat by boosting local production and skill-based livelihoods.

The felicitation ceremony was organised to recognise grassroots entrepreneurship and encourage self-employment initiatives among women.

District General Secretary Amit Dubey, Ajay Sharma Kissan Morcha District President, Parveen Sharma and Deepak Kumar were aksi present on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, Rekha Mahajan said that such small enterprises play a transformative role in society by providing skills, livelihood and self-confidence to women from economically weaker sections.

“This tailoring centre is not just a business unit; it is a platform of empowerment where poor girls are being trained to become self-reliant and economically independent,” she said, while congratulating the entrepreneur for his dedication and social commitment.

Mahajan emphasized that Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) vision.

“MSMEs are the engines of job creation and local innovation. They contribute significantly to India’s GDP, exports and employment generation, especially at the grassroots level,” she said. She added that empowering small entrepreneurs, particularly women, is essential for inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

The BJP leader said that the central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched several schemes to strengthen the MSME sector, including easy credit facilities, skill development programmes and market access support.

“These initiatives are enabling small entrepreneurs to expand their businesses and contribute meaningfully to the national economy,” she added.

Rekha Mahajan further stated that tailoring and skill-based centres are crucial for uplifting girls from marginalised backgrounds, as they not only provide income opportunities but also enhance dignity and self-worth.

She urged young women to come forward and make use of Central government schemes designed for self-employment and entrepreneurship.

Praising the entrepreneur’s efforts, Mahajan said that BJP remains committed to promoting women-led enterprises and supporting initiatives that align with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

She assured continued support to such ventures that work for social upliftment while strengthening the local economy.

The event concluded with an interaction with trainees, who shared their experiences and expressed gratitude for the encouragement and recognition received.
