National SC-ST Hub Aims to Foster Inclusive Entrepreneurship

The National SC-ST Hub (NSSH) is enhancing inclusive entrepreneurship for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) enterprises by facilitating access to finance, technology, training, and market opportunities. Launched on October 18, 2016, the initiative aims to overcome barriers faced by these communities in the business landscape. By emphasizing public procurement, the NSSH connects SC/ST-owned micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSEs) with institutional buyers, thereby fostering a competitive MSME ecosystem. The program's growing reach and support mechanisms are crucial for promoting enterprise ownership among historically underrepresented groups in India.
