Hyderabad, June 18 (UNI) In a key step toward strengthening the MSME ecosystem in Telangana, the National Institute for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (NiMSME), in collaboration with the Department of Industries, Government of Telangana, and the State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU – Grant Thornton Bharat LLP), launched the Orientation Program for Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) resources under the World Bank-supported RAMP (Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance) Program on Wednesday.
The inaugural session held at NiMSME, Hyderabad, was attended by newly inducted EDC resource personnel, officials, and stakeholders involved in the rollout of the RAMP program across Telangana.

Nikhil Chakravarthy, Director of Industries, Government of Telangana, inaugurated the event, underscoring the importance of grassroots enterprise facilitation and the role of EDCs in ensuring
that MSMEs benefit effectively from government schemes.
K Madhukar Babu, Joint Director, Department of Industries, in his keynote address, reaffirmed the state’s commitment to MSME development, stressing the need for capacity building and continuous handholding support for entrepreneurs.

The initiative also seeks to ensure last-mile delivery of MSME support mechanisms through structured training and outreach.
NiMSME has invited interested stakeholders and entrepreneurs to approach the institute from next week to learn more about services under the RAMP framework.
