About this scheme
The Industries and Mines Department, Government of Gujarat, runs the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Udyog Uday Yojana, an umbrella scheme that came into force on 7 August 2020 and remains valid until 6 August 2025. Its primary aim is to strengthen the state's Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector, which plays a substantial role in Gujarat's economy through employment generation, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and exports.
Under this scheme, the "Assistance for Quality Certification" component targets MSMEs, with particular attention to units established and run by Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) entrepreneurs. The objective is to sharpen their ability to compete in domestic and international markets by raising product standards and operational efficiency.
Financial support under this component covers two areas: securing national and international quality certifications, and adopting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This assistance helps businesses satisfy demanding quality benchmarks, streamline their processes and work towards global competitiveness.
