Abstract
The Ministry of MSMEs and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade of the Government of India, have undertaken several governance initiatives for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of e-governance initiatives in enhancing the growth, competitiveness, and sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises in India by identifying major e-governance portals and digital initiatives implemented for MSMEs and startups by the Government of India, to examine the policy framework and institutional support underpinning these initiatives and to recommend strategies for improving the accessibility, usability, and long-term sustainability of e-governance systems for MSMEs. Secondary data was collected from various Government of India websites and analysed using techniques like diagnostic analysis, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, inferential analysis, predictive analysis, prescriptive analysis and decision analytics. The governance initiatives of the Government of India are excellent in that they benefit the MSME sector in India.
