The sudden rise in the number of unemployed workers returning posed several challenges for the state governments.
Some states have implemented schemes with a focus on education and skill development to create employment opportunities.
In a report, the Grant Thornton Bharat-SIDBI recommended digitisation of financial and non-financial services; setting up of digital platforms to provide access to E-business services for existing enterprises; involvement of technical institutions as solution centres among many others.
According to Sivasubramanian Ramann, Chairman and managing director of SIDBI: "Enhanced competitiveness, progressive strengthening and rapid transformation of the ecosystem is expected to help multiply the contribution of the MSME sector. For India to emerge as a global value chain leader, strengthening of the enterprise value chain is essential."
