The President of India, Ms. Droupadi Murmu, is set to preside over the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Day 2025 event—titled Udyami Bharat—on June 27, 2025, at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. The high-level event is organized by the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and underscores the pivotal role the MSME sector plays in propelling India’s economic development and ensuring inclusive growth.

The event will be graced by top dignitaries including the Minister for MSMEs, Mr. Jitan Ram Manjhi, Minister of State, Ms. Shobha Karandlaje, and the Chairman of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission, Mr. Manoj Kumar, along with other senior government officials, financial leaders, and industry stakeholders.

MSME Day 2025: Celebrating Resilience, Recognizing Growth

MSME Day 2025 is not just a ceremonial event but a strategic platform to launch and celebrate new initiatives that seek to make India’s MSME sector more resilient, competitive, future-ready, and financially empowered. It serves as a crucial annual milestone to recognise the achievements of the sector while identifying new directions for sustainable growth.

25 Years of CGTMSE: A Milestone in Credit Access

A key highlight of the event will be the release of a special commemorative postage stamp celebrating 25 years of the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE). Since its inception, CGTMSE has sanctioned more than 1.18 crore credit guarantees amounting to over Rs. 9,80,000 crore (US$ 114.42 billion). The financial year 2024–25 alone saw a record Rs. 3,00,000 crore (US$ 35.03 billion) in guarantees—an affirmation of the scheme’s growing relevance.

This stamp is symbolic not only of the trust’s journey but also its crucial role in bridging the credit gap for India’s micro and small businesses, especially those located in underserved regions and operated by first-generation entrepreneurs.

Launch of the MSME Online Dispute Resolution Portal

In a major step to improve the ease of doing business, the President will also launch the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Portal designed to address the long-standing challenge of delayed payments in the MSME ecosystem.

Delayed payments have been one of the most pressing issues hurting MSME liquidity, and the ODR portal is expected to offer faster, transparent, and cost-effective mechanisms for redressal of commercial disputes between MSMEs and buyers. By adopting digital arbitration and conciliation, the portal will enhance trust, speed, and compliance within the supply chain.

MSME Hackathon 5.0 and Innovation-Driven Growth

To promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, the President will inaugurate the MSME Hackathon 5.0, aimed at encouraging tech-driven problem solving within the sector. The event will also announce the winners of Hackathon 4.0, held under the MSME Champions Scheme, which fosters start-up participation in solving sectoral challenges through innovative ideas.

These initiatives seek to nurture a digital-first mindset among small business owners and startup founders, empowering them to digitize operations, improve market access, and boost productivity.

Financial Literacy and Awareness: Key to MSME Growth

The President will also release two important publications—‘MSME Patrika’ and the ‘Know Your Lender’ guide. While the Patrika is a comprehensive journal documenting the latest developments, policies, and success stories from the MSME ecosystem, the Know Your Lender guide is designed to educate entrepreneurs about credit sources, terms, compliance needs, and risk management strategies.

With over 6.3 crore MSMEs contributing approximately 30% of India’s GDP and employing over 11 crore people, empowering these enterprises with financial awareness and inclusion tools is paramount to ensuring their long-term viability.

Prominent Stakeholders and Policy Vision

The presence of senior leaders such as Mr. Jitan Ram Manjhi and Ms. Shobha Karandlaje underlines the government's continued focus on uplifting this critical sector. Their involvement is expected to result in the announcement of new reforms, credit policies, and digital transformation incentives for micro and small businesses.

Stakeholders from SIDBI, NSIC, KVIC, industry chambers, and financial institutions are also expected to attend, ensuring that the policy vision aligns with grassroots realities and challenges.

India’s MSME Sector: Backbone of the Economy

India’s MSME sector has emerged as the bedrock of the nation’s manufacturing, services, and export landscape. It supports exports worth over Rs. 10 lakh crore annually, contributes significantly to domestic industrial output, and plays a crucial role in economic decentralization by operating across rural and semi-urban areas.

With recent government efforts such as PM Vishwakarma Yojana, Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS), and Zero Effect Zero Defect (ZED) certification drive, the MSME sector is increasingly being formalized, digitized, and integrated into global value chains.

Conclusion: Toward a Resilient and Inclusive MSME Ecosystem

MSME Day 2025, led by President Droupadi Murmu, is not just a celebration but a strategic checkpoint in India’s journey towards economic inclusion and grassroots entrepreneurship. Through initiatives like the CGTMSE milestone stamp, ODR portal, MSME Hackathon 5.0, and financial education tools like Know Your Lender, the government is laying the groundwork for a robust, transparent, and future-ready MSME sector.

With renewed momentum from this event, the Ministry of MSME is expected to roll out more targeted interventions in the coming quarters, focusing on credit access, market linkages, export readiness, and digital adoption—ensuring that Udyami Bharat truly becomes the engine of India’s $5 trillion economy vision.
