What is MSME?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2022 Economic activities in India are divided into three main sectors namely, the Primary sector, Secondary Sector, and Tertiary Sector.
\n\u2022 Primary sector comprises<\/strong> of all those activities which are done by directly using natural resources like, Agriculture, Fishing, Mining, Forestry, Dairy and etc.
\n\u2022 It is a very important sector in India as it provides daily bread to most of India\u2019s population. It constitutes around 50% of the workforce and adds 17% to the GDP of India.
\n\u2022 Secondary sector<\/strong> includes all those activities which are undertaken with the help of raw materials produced under the primary sector.
\n\u2022 These raw materials are turned into finished goods and products in the manufacturing plants. Examples of the secondary sector are Food Processing, Oil refining, Energy Production and etc. Its contribution is around 29.6 % of the GDP of India.
\n\u2022 Tertiary sector<\/strong> is the third sector in the Indian economy also known as the service sector. It is built upon the primary sector and secondary sector. Currently, the service sector is the backbone of the Indian economy and contributes 54.3% to the GDP.<\/p>\n

\u2022 All the industry be it of any sector can avail benefits issued by the government provided they are eligible for it. Criteria for listing under MSME are defined based on their scale of investment.
