Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and Nashik Industries & Manufacturers' Association (NIMA) on Thursday inaugurated a ‘help centre’ to equip SME entrepreneurs with the relevant information about various schemes and subsidies offered by central and state government. The centre being the first of its kind in the country has been opened jointly by SIDBI and NIMA at the NIMA House.
Inaugurating the centre, Pradeep Malegaonkar, Regional Manager-Pune, SIDBI said, "Micro, small and medium enterprises are the backbone of the Indian industry. Considering this, the central as well as the state government have introduced several schemes, subsidies and loan facilities for entrepreneurs. With an aim to give them information, we have launched this help centre with the help of the NIMA. A representative of SIDBI will be available every Monday during 11am to 2pm."
Furthur, Dhananjay Bele, President, NIMA said, "There are around 90 per cent MSMEs in industrial areas of MIDC in Nashik. Most of the entrepreneurs are deprived of the benefits of various schemes as they do not get proper information. This help centre will provide guidance to entrepreneurs."
