AP MSMEs Aim for Quality Standards to Boost Global Competitiveness
MSMEs in Andhra Pradesh want to make their products better so they can sell them worldwide, even with tariffs.
The state government has a committee helping them.
MSMEs want to make sure their products meet good quality standards, like those already used for things like food and medicine.
They want the government to help them follow these rules to boost the economy.
They also want students to learn about these standards in school so they can make better products in the future.
This way, MSMEs can grow and compete with businesses everywhere.
It is a project to ensure products are high-quality and meet specific requirements.
