He told the students about the various schemes introduced by the Govt. like Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) which provides loans up to ₹10 lakh (with provisions up to ₹20 lakh for top-up loans) to non-corporate, non-farm small/micro-enterprises. It is divided into Shishu (up to ₹50,000), Kishore (up to ₹5 lakh), and Tarun (up to ₹10 lakh) categories. Other one was Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro & Small Enterprises (CGTMSE). Further, he spoke on a credit-linked subsidy scheme for setting up new micro-enterprises in the non-farm sector, providing margin money subsidies ranging from 15% to 35%, known as Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP).

Prof. (Dr.) Reena Bishnoi, Dean, Faculty of Law told about the legal firms and regulatory bodies and how a law student become an entrepreneur. She stressed upon Law Students as Entrepreneurs as many of the law students consider launching their own legal-tech or consulting businesses, which are eligible to register as MSMEs. A law company or consultancy that satisfies investment and turnover requirements can frequently register as a service MSME, even though individual practicing advocates are typically regarded as “professionals” rather than “service enterprises” (and hence frequently ineligible for Udyam registration). She also added that Law students with tech-driven legal solutions can take part in the Ministry of MSME’s regular activities, such as the MSME Idea Hackathon for young innovators. Platforms like Live Law and SCC Online provide updates on the latest judicial rulings affecting the MSME sector.
