Covid-19 Pandemic and Women-Led MSMEs

Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) have a critical role to play in developing nations like India because of their potential to create jobs, improve income distribution, reduce poverty, increase exports of manufactured goods, and advance the rural economy. In addition to these contributions, MSMEs are regarded as an essential setting for women, particularly those living in rural regions, to participate actively in economic activity, not just as employees but, more crucially, as entrepreneurs.
