Technically qualified-interns are being appointed in all local bodies to coordinate ground-level activities for the Industries department's campaign to aid the launch of one lakh Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the next one year as part of the entrepreneurship year programmes being organised by the State government.
The Local Self Government department has now issued instructions to all local bodies to ensure adequate facilities for the interns, who will have a host of responsibilities related to the setting up of MSMEs in each local body.
The one lakh MSMEs campaign aims at generating 3 to 5 lakh jobs across the State. The Industries Department is coordinating with the local self government, cooperative, agriculture, fisheries, tourism and finance departments for the campaign. The primary job of the interns will be to create awareness among the local population about the campaign and provide initial support to the potential entrepreneurs, by addressing their concerns and giving them guidance regarding the processes involved.
