The Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprise launched the MSME-SAMBANDH portal in 2017 pertaining to which one of the following?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> This relates to SAMADHAAN portal, not SAMBANDH. SAMADHAAN specifically addresses delayed payment issues faced by MSMEs.

Option 2 -> SAMBANDH is not a job portal. It is focused on procurement monitoring rather than employment facilitation.

Option 3 -> SAMBANDH portal tracks and monitors procurement from MSMEs by Central Government Ministries/Departments and CPSEs to ensure compliance with Public Procurement Policy for MSMEs.

Option 4 -> Credit schemes are managed through banking channels and other financial platforms, not through SAMBANDH portal.


Hence, Option 3 -> The MSME-SAMBANDH portal serves as a monitoring mechanism to track whether government entities are meeting their procurement targets from MSMEs as mandated by the Public Procurement Policy, which requires 25% procurement from MSMEs (including 3% from women-owned MSMEs) -> correct
