The online EM filing has worked wonders not only boosting
the registration rate but also enabling the State MSME Department to keep complete
track of the enterprises that are in the offing or in operation. Earlier, the
MSMEs had to go through acknowledgment procedures at the district industries
centres (DIC) which was not only cumbersome but also time-consuming.

The automation of Entrepreneurship Memorandum (EM) filing,
which relates to establishment of new enterprises and their operational status,
has drawn special attention of the Union MSME Ministry. Underscoring its
keenness for replication of the system in other States, Additional Development
Commissioner (MSME) emphasised that it will not only help the states but also
the DC (MSME) office to have a real-time status check of entrepreneurs as well
as data records on the All India Frame of MSME units.

Department in association with Odisha Modernizing Economy, Governance and
Administration (OMEGA) as applications are being processed expeditiously. From

are pending. In EM-I, the number of applications has more than doubled compared
