The Union Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Kalraj Mishra, digitally launched the Employment Exchange for Industries here today. The Minister stated that the digital employment exchange is in line with the Prime Minister's vision of Digital India wherein through this employment exchange for industries, job seekers can find employers and vice versa.

India has successfully come back today on track of economic progress and the Central Government has created an environment of growth and prosperity.  Programs like Make in India, Skill India, Clean India have created a huge momentum to drive industrial growth and create employment opportunities for the millions of youth in the country.

The Minister while recalling his interaction with the industry stalwarts mentioned that industrialists have raised concerns of lack of skilled workforce not only for them but also for their suppliers, which are usually MSME units.

The Minister emphasized that large units who are dependent on MSMEs as suppliers need high quality output, which in the absence of skilled manpower results in non-competitiveness of MSMEs and Indian industry as a whole.
