Here’s why: Over 39 crore jobs are tied to MSMEs; yes, 39 crore. That’s not government jobs. That’s small businesses, street vendors, rural enterprises. And they’re booming. The government’s not just handing out recruitment letters (12.5 lakh since 2022). They’re backing startups (2.4 lakh recognised), skilling youth (PMKVY, NAPS), and even paying companies to hire first-timers; ₹744 crore already disbursed. But here’s the twist: the biggest job engine isn’t ministries or railways. It’s the PLI scheme. ₹1.91 lakh crore investment. ₹2.4 lakh crore already poured in. Over 14 lakh jobs created. And the real game-changer? The Udyam portal. 8.9 crore MSMEs registered. That’s not just data; that’s your uncle’s workshop, your cousin’s food truck, your college friend’s design studio; now officially counted, supported, and growing. Unemployment dropped. But more importantly; the system is learning to create jobs, not just fill vacancies.
