Moreover, the government is committed to supporting MSMEs through various initiatives, including financial incentives, infrastructure development, and skill enhancement programs. These measures are intended to create a conducive ecosystem that enables MSMEs to thrive in the competitive electronics manufacturing landscape.

In conclusion, the IT Secretary's remarks underscore the transformative potential of electronics manufacturing for MSMEs, encouraging them to seize opportunities, innovate, and contribute significantly to India's economic resurgence in the digital age.
