Rajasthan will mark International MSME Day for the first time with a state-level event at the Constitution Club in Jaipur on 27 June 2025 (Saturday), government officials confirmed on Friday. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma will inaugurate the programme and roll out a clutch of initiatives designed to deepen the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) ecosystem across the state.

Key Announcements at the Event

Chief Minister Sharma is set to launch the Rajasthan Industrial Development Policy at the event — a move the government says will provide a long-term framework for industrial growth in the state. He will also unveil the One District One Product (ODOP) Coffee Table Book and formally dedicate the RAMP (Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance) Portal, aimed at improving ease of doing business and strengthening MSME support services.

Additionally, Sharma will distribute dummy cheques worth more than ₹13 crore towards loans, grants, and subsidies to beneficiaries under various schemes of the Industries and Commerce Department. RIICO (Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation) land allotment letters and offer letters will also be handed over to eligible entrepreneurs.

Schemes Covered Under Financial Assistance

Financial support at the event will be channelled through several flagship programmes, including the ODOP Policy, Vishwakarma Yuva Udyami Protsahan Yojana, Rajasthan Trade Promotion Policy, Chief Minister Yuva Swarojgar Yojana, Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Dalit-Tribal Enterprise Promotion Scheme, Integrated Cluster Development Scheme, RAMP, and the Rajasthan Export Promotion Scheme. The breadth of schemes signals an attempt to reach entrepreneurs across income, caste, and geographic segments simultaneously.

Who Will Attend

The event will be attended by Rajasthan Industries and Commerce Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore, Minister of State K.K. Bishnoi, State Chief Secretary V. Srinivas, Additional Chief Secretary (Industries and Commerce) Shikhar Agrawal, State Industries Commissioner Nilabh Saxena, senior government officials, industry representatives, and entrepreneurs from across the state.

Why International MSME Day Matters

The United Nations designated 27 June as International MSME Day to recognise the pivotal role of micro, small, and medium enterprises in driving global economic growth, employment generation, and sustainable development. MSMEs are widely regarded as the backbone of India's economy, contributing significantly to exports and non-farm employment. Rajasthan's decision to hold a dedicated state-level celebration for the first time underscores a broader push to position the state as an MSME-friendly destination for investment. The launch of a new industrial policy on this occasion adds institutional weight to that signalling.

What Comes Next

The inauguration of the RAMP Portal and the release of the new industrial policy are expected to set the policy agenda for Rajasthan's MSME sector in the near term. Industry bodies and entrepreneur groups attending the event are likely to engage directly with officials on implementation timelines. The distribution of financial assistance on the day itself suggests the government intends the event to have immediate, tangible impact beyond symbolic optics.
