Itanagar, Nov 12: The Department of Industries conducted a two-day capacity-building programme for Udyam Mitras on November 11-12, at DK Convention Centre, Itanagar, under the Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) Programme. The programme witnessed the participation of all Udyam Mitras from across the State.
Gyabo Pertin, Director  (Industries) delivered the welcome address focussing on importance of documentation for indigenous enterprises and need for Udyam Mitras to become aware of modern statutory regulations.
Delivering the keynote address, Vishal Sah, Special Secretary(Industries), emphasised the need for Udyam Mitras to become true friends and facilitators of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). He encouraged the participants to adopt a spirit of selfless service, extend meaningful support to entrepreneurs at the grassroots level and to contribute towards the larger objectives of state and nation-building.
The technical sessions were conducted by CA Amit Agarwal and CS Chandra Sekhar Sharma, who shared their professional expertise on key aspects of business formalisation and regulatory compliance. The sessions covered Goods and Services Tax (GST), statutory compliance, Detailed Project Report (DPR) preparation, bookkeeping and fundamental accounting practices for MSMEs. 
Particular emphasis was placed on simplifying regulatory requirements and enabling Udyam Mitras to provide practical guidance to entrepreneurs. The training aimed to facilitate wider dissemination of information relating to taxation, statutory norms, financial documentation and accounting practices, particularly among micro enterprises, Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and grassroots entrepreneurs who often have limited access to professional advisory services.
The programme is expected to further strengthen the capabilities of Udyam Mitras under the Department's Corporate Mitra initiative, which is a budget announcement of the State Government, equipping them to function as effective intermediaries between enterprises, Government institutions and professional service providers.
Additional refresher sessions on Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises(PMFME), One District One Product (ODOP), Once District One Cuisine (ODOC) and Arunachal Pradesh Industrial Development and Investment Policy (APIDIP) were also conducted. 
The valedictory session was chaired by Goli Angu Joint Director (Industries). He summarised the program and reiterated need for Udyam Mitras to develop their skill set, statutory knowledge and technical awareness. 
The initiative forms part of the Department of Industries' continued efforts under RAMP to strengthen the MSME ecosystem in Arunachal Pradesh through capacity building, enterprise formalisation and improved access to professional and institutional support.
