The full form of MSME is Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, to promote small industries in the country and to help them financially, the Government of India has formed the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. About 45% of the employment in India is due to small industries and about 50% of the goods exported by India are produced by small industries only.
