12 Jan 2024 CW Team

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Rajkot are calling for support in labor availability, urging for assistance under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). The Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry has taken up the cause, advocating for the utilisation of MGNREGA to alleviate the labour challenges faced by MSMEs in the region.

The plea from MSMEs highlights the impact of labor shortages on their operations, emphasizing the need for a coordinated effort to address the workforce constraints. By proposing the utilisation of MGNREGA, the business community aims to tap into the rural employment guarantee program to ensure a more stable and accessible labor pool for MSMEs.

The Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry's advocacy for leveraging MGNREGA reflects a collaborative approach between businesses and government-supported initiatives to address socio-economic challenges. The proposal aligns with the broader goal of promoting employment and supporting economic activities in rural areas.

As the MSME sector plays a crucial role in India's economic landscape, addressing labor challenges becomes imperative for sustaining growth and fostering resilience. The appeal for labor support under MGNREGA signifies a call for innovative solutions and collaborative efforts to overcome the hurdles faced by businesses in Rajkot.
