Call for MSMEs to Innovate, Export and Partner with R&D Institutes

Rajnath Singh appealed to MSMEs to allocate a portion of turnover to research and development, and to seek collaborations with universities, IITs, DRDO labs, start‑ups and large industrial houses. He assured private players that they should not hesitate to approach DRDO for defence‑related technology needs, and that the minister’s office remains open for industry queries.
