About this scheme
The Industries and Mines Department, Gujarat, runs the Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for MSMEs, an initiative aimed at strengthening the state's MSME sector. That sector plays a central role in Gujarat's employment, GDP and exports. The scheme operates from 5 October 2022 to 4 October 2027 and sits within the wider Aatmanirbhar Gujarat and Aatmanirbhar Bharat objectives of encouraging growth and investment in the state.
One component of the scheme, Rehabilitation of Sick Enterprise, extends support to MSME industrial enterprises that satisfy the Reserve Bank of India's criteria for sickness. It does so by meeting part of the cost of preparing a diagnostic report and a rehabilitation plan.
By absorbing some of the expense attached to these early strategic steps, the component helps sick enterprises trace the causes of their distress and work out a feasible route back to viable, sustained operations, so that they continue to contribute to the state's economy.
