The micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) sector has emerged as a significant contributor to economic growth and employment generation in India. This research paper aims to investigate and analyze the role of the MSME sector in employment generation in India. The study examines the current status of the MSME sector, identifies the factors influencing employment generation, explores the challenges faced by the sector, and suggests policy measures to enhance its contribution to employment. The research employs a descriptive approach, combining quantitative analysis of secondary data from various sources such as research articles,government publications, and MSME annual reports with analysis of expert interviews relevant to the title of the paper. The findings indicate that the MSME sector plays a crucial role in employment creation, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. However, the sector faces challenges such as limited access to finance, inadequate infrastructure, and regulatory complexities. The paper concludes by recommending strategies for promoting the growth of the MSME sector, including facilitating access to credit, improving infrastructure, streamlining regulations, and promoting skill development initiatives.
