RAMP Scheme – MSME has been an integral part of the economy of India for a very long time because almost 48% of the Indian export share is in the hands of MSMEs. India has also seen a significant increase in the number of exports in the last few years because of the high number of entrepreneurs who are taking matters into their own hands in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently appeared in a program held in New Delhi known as the Udyami Bharat program and in this program he launched the very prestigious Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance Scheme (RAMP) 2024. You can also check out the specifications related to the features, benefits and details related to the scheme given below.

The World Bank has a contribution of INR 37500 crore Rupees in the total funding and the remaining funding is done by the Indian government itself. It has an intervention design on the basis of the UK Sinha-led Reserve Bank of India export committee report. This scheme is implemented on the basis of various regulatory, financial and implementation reforms and it also has a firm-level access reform so that there is the proper development of the scheme across recognised challenging areas. the RAMP program will seek to scale up implementation capacity and firm coverage in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.

18,000 MSMEs have been digitally transferred over Rs 500 crore and over Rs, 1,400 crores have been released under Rs 50,000 crore Self-Reliant India Fund for MSMEs.

Strengthening the MSME sector benefits everyone. The role of the program will be developing in the next 5 years.
