CMD’s Message

Dear Readers,

As I write this, the country is grappling with full vigour and steely determination the crisis arising out of spread of CORONA virus. You are aware that the crisis is impacting our society and economy in a manner which is unprecedented in past few decades. During these daunting times, I am sure you are adhering to the safety SOP issued by Government of India for work places and making full effort to mitigate the economic fall out of this crisis on NSIC and MSME sector by making effective use of E- Channels of communications like e-mails, chat groups etc. amongst yourself and other MSME stake holders. I also believe that it is an opportunity to give a transformational push to NSIC’s work culture in the direction of digitalisation which it lacks to some extent. I am sure that NSIC being one of the oldest Government PSU working among MSMEs will rise to the occasion and its field offices will provide all possible facilitation under schemes to the MSME’s to assist them in tiding over the challenge.

With Best Wishes

Vijayendra (IAS)
