The government is working on increasing the turnover of the village industry from Rs. 80,000 crore today to Rs. 5 lakh crore in two years, union minister Nitin Gadkari said.

“The mission of our government is to eradicate poverty by creating more jobs in rural, agricultural and tribal segments of our society,” said Gadkari, who is Minister for Road Transport & Highways and the Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises said at a discussion organised by Mumbai-based All India Association of Industries (AIAI).

The government is also working with State Bank of India to launch an E-portal for MSMEs to sell their products, on the lines of Amazon.
