    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Mar 29 (KNN) &lt;/strong&gt;Over a dozen Members of Parliament cutting across party lines have come forward and formed a group named  Friends of MSMEs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;A senior Lok Sabha Member Meerut Rajendra Agrawal has been chosen Chairman of the group.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bit.ly/3B9mZSj&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;FOLLOW US on GOOGLE NEWS&quot; src=&quot;https://knnindia.co.in//uploads/gallery/GoogleNews.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-style:solid; border-width:1px; height:95px; margin:1px; width:299px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Neither Government nor corporate sector can create over one crore jobs needed  every year in India. They could only be created when millions of youth entering in job market opt to be an entrepreneur and set-up MSMEs says Chairman of Friends of MSMEs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;But the creation of self-employment opportunities requires an enabling eco-system for MSMEs. It  not only requires ease in setting up enterprises but also support in many areas including finance, skills and marketing and that needs to be ensured , Agrawal noted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The group intends to study and focus on resolving some of the binding constraints that impede and shackle MSME sector in India.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The group plans to hold consultations with MSMEs before each session of the Parliament to identify the major issues and raise their concerns at various Parliamentary fora and the Government. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Federation of Indian Micro and Small &amp;amp; Medium Enterprises (FISME)- the national MSME body, is to function as Secretariat of Friends of MSMEs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Accepting the responsibility and applauding the visionary approach of the MPs, President FISME Prashant Patel pledged to provide the institutional and research support to the group to sharpen the debate on MSME issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The Members of Parliament  were keen to take feed-back on impact of various MSME focused initiatives of the Central government taken recent past such as Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme and Budget announcements to encourage timely payment to MSMEs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Besides Chairman Rajendra Agrawal, following Members of Parliament have joined the group namely Dhalsingh Bisen (Balaghat), Vivek Narum Shejwarkar (Gwalior), Guman Singh Damor (Ratlam), Ganesh Singh (Satna), Kunwar Pushpendra Singh Chandel (Hamirpur), Jagdambika Pal (Domariyaganj, UP), Nayab Singh (Kurukshetra), Dharmbir Chaudhary (Bhiwani-Mahendragarh), Ramesh Chander Kaushik (Sonipat), Sunita Duggal (Sirsa), Subhash Chand Baheria (Bhilwara), Jugal Kishor Sharma (Jammu) and Sushil Kumar Singh (Aurangabad).  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(KNN Bureau)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
