CS launches first-ever MSME Health Clinic to revive sick industrial units

Srinagar, Jul 11: Aimed at building a resilient and growth-oriented industrial ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, on Friday, launched J&K’s first-ever MSME Health Clinic.

Speaking at the launching ceremony, the Chief Secretary termed the Health Clinic a critical institutional mechanism for diagnosing the stress factors plaguing industrial units and enabling timely redressal.

He underlined the need for optimum utilisation of the facility and ensuring that the services being offered are objective, data-driven and need-based.

“The MSME sector is the backbone of our local economy, and we must extend all necessary support to the units that are under stress,” the CS said. “The health clinic must evolve into a dynamic platform where distressed units can be clinically assessed and supported with actionable remedies.”

To ensure efficient and timely decision-making, Dulloo called for seamless API integrations from the departments and institutions like the Power Development Department, financial institutions, the Udyam portal and the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).

He said that these integrations would provide real-time access to data that reflects the ground realities faced by MSMEs, thereby enabling accurate diagnostics and timely interventions.

Speaking on the occasion, Commissioner Secretary, I&C, Vikramjit Singh, informed that the JKMHC portal is an innovative digital platform designed to provide comprehensive health monitoring and analytical insights for MSMEs across the region.

Throwing light on the embedded key features of the JKMHC Portal, Director, Industries, Jammu, Arun Manhas revealed that the MSMEs can easily register and log in to access the portal’s features.
