The Haryana Government today launched the Programme to Accelerate Development for MSME Advancement (PADMA) programme.
“Based on the principles of ‘local yet global’, the PADMA aims to create self-sustainable and thriving industrial infrastructure at the cluster level for each block of Haryana,” said Manohar Lal Khattar while launching the scheme at a function held here today.
He said the PADMA programme was a multi-department programme, which would not only promote local products but also give employment opportunities to the youth, especially the targeted Antyodaya Anna Yojana beneficiaries. “The MSME sector plays a significant role in economic landscape of Haryana, contributing over 22 per cent to the Gross State Value Added (GSVA),” said Khattar.
