Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) contribute significantly to the nation's economic development by creating jobs, offering entrepreneurial possibilities, providing technical support, and offering skill-based training. Small businesses do, in fact, help to reduce poverty. The MSME sector makes up about 29% of the GDP of the nation. With government assistance, women from both urban and rural areas are pursuing business development initiatives.
