In line with the vision of the Hon’ble Prime Minister, “The progress of humanity is incomplete without the empowerment of women.” Since Women Entrepreneurs are the base of social change that India aspires for, Government will keep focusing on women empowerment with emphasis on dignity, opportunity, appreciating their efforts and contribution laying the foundation for a New India, fill in the gaps in solutions required by Women Innovators and help build the base for constructing the economic structure of a powerful India.

It’s the endeavor of the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to enable MSMEs to put on their thinking caps and create innovative solutions while looking out for local solutions to the local problems that could be the generation leap India needs, to transform its social, cultural and economic ecosystem into a world leader.

Ideas are being invited under MSME Idea Hackathon 3.0 from women Innovators and women owned MSMEs from all over India under the scheme of the Office of Development Commissioner – MSME Innovative Scheme.

For implementation of the scheme the Host Institutions (HI) approved for the scheme will be supported by the Office of DC-MSME. Incubatees’ selected ideas will be provided funding support upto Rs. 15 lakhs per approved idea, through the Host Institutes chosen by them.
