Speaking about MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) he said it will help in creating more employment opportunities, boosts GDP, and increases exports. Adding he asked all the industrialists to make best use of the programme.

Speaking about MRPL, Upadhya said that the industry initially began with 3 million ton refinery and presently has increased to 15 million ton. The industry with turnover of 57,000 cr has about 45% of its products sold in export market.

M Prabhu in his keynote address said that the MSME is the lifeline of Indian economy. It contributes 35% of the Indian exports, supports GDP and many others. But the sad part is that, only 5% of MSME are registered in the country adding he said it’s high time to act on this aspect.

    A Vendor-Vendee meet organised by the MSMEDI, Mangalore BR. in association with the Department ofI&C, Karnataka and the District Small Industries Association, Mangalore is proved to be very advantageous to both MSMEs and the Large Industries. The programme organised is a boost to industries to grow. Since this programme is being held in Mangalore, the Coastal capital of Karnataka, will certainly facilitate the growth of MSEs in the District of DK & the neighboring coastal districts as well. The organisers did a commendable job and therefore need to be congratulated.
