This Tuesday, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have provided employment to as many as 10 crores people in the past 4 years. He said that 18 lakh entrepreneurs obtained loans under the Prime Minister’s Employment Guarantee Programme between 2014-18. Only 11 lakh entrepreneurs obtained loans under the scheme between 2010-14, he said.
