Raman Dutta, founding member and general secretary, Brands & Sourcing Leaders Association, said, “There are several schemes and initiatives from the government for MSMEs to become more sustainable like grants for water conservation, 50% reimbursement options for sustainable machinery and practices and other state-wide policies. It is the lack of awareness that is hindering this transition.”
