Vijaya Dasami and Ayudha Pooja always bring back fond memories of our childhood. I still cherish those beautiful days when, during this festive week, we boys would visit nearby villages, perform Kolattam, and share Kadalai Pori and Candy Sugar with everyone. One of the most memorable traditions was visiting our teachers’ homes, offering them these festive treats, and receiving their heartfelt blessings.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Vijaya Dasami and Ayudha Pooja.
14 years on Twitter, now X!
When I first joined, I wondered, "Why are people spending so much time here?"
14 years later, I still ask myself the same question sometimes! 😊
But I must admit, this platform has also been a great source of information, new ideas and different perspectives.
Government officials, business leaders, entrepreneurs and ordinary citizens all have something valuable to share.
Twitter became X, but one thing hasn't changed — You can waste an hour scrolling or gain a valuable insight in a minute.
The choice is ours!

It was nice to meet Dr Sivakumar IPS DGP ranked West Bengal cadre officer , very simple and dedicated officer , he is from Gobichettipalayam studied at Veterinary College Namakkal and Chennai, my best wishes to him
Today I was surprised to see a sitting Honorable High Court Judge coming to the club for playing badminton in a two wheeler wearing helmet avoiding to use official car , hats of to him for his simplicity and salute him
A landmark for GeM, its largest-ever single order—₹52,532 crore for NLC. Competitive bidding brought the value down by ₹7,832 crore—nearly 13%.
Congratulations to GeM and NLC India. A powerful example of what transparent procurement can deliver at scale.
To build on this success, I encourage GeM and public sector buyers to:
• Verify supplier credentials, manufacturer claims and country of origin.
• Give more capable MSMEs a fair chance to bid; ease experience barriers where possible, while protecting quality.
• Bring more State Government enterprises onto GeM.
• Expand MSME participation in PSU vendor development programmes.
More credible suppliers and wider competition can mean better value for the public and more opportunity for Indian businesses.

Not just an order. A new benchmark for public procurement.
When a single transaction crosses ₹52,000 crore, the marketplace itself has levelled up.
NLC India Limited (under the Ministry of Coal) has placed a record ₹52,532 crore order on Government e Marketplace (GeM) for Mine Development & Operation (MDO) Services — the highest-value order ever executed on GeM.
Estimated bid value: ₹60,364 crore
Final order value: ₹52,532 crore
Approx. 13% savings unlocked through competitive, transparent bidding
This isn’t merely a large procurement.
It’s scale meeting efficiency.
Transparency meeting technology.
And value meeting national priority.
A powerful demonstration of how digital public procurement on GeM continues to deliver bigger outcomes, sharper savings and stronger trust.

No queue.
No Sub-Registrar’s Office visit.

The MSME Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026 reinforces the move towards a more enabling and responsive regulatory environment for MSMEs, with provisions for time-bound dispute resolution, Online Dispute Resolution, stronger enforcement and graded civil penalties a win win situation for all stakeholders
These measures can help reduce friction, improve predictability and enable entrepreneurs to focus more on building and growing their businesses.
Appreciation to the Government of India and Ministry of MSME for continuing to advance reforms focused on strengthening Ease of Doing Business and creating a more conducive environment for MSME-led growth.

We welcome the @minmsme initiative to promote RBI-approved TReDS platforms for Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) procurement.
This will help MSMEs receive faster payments, improve cash flow and access working capital. We thank Dr. RAJNEESH, Addl. Secy. and Development Commissioner, for his continuous support @dcmsmeoffice
We request the Ministry to extend this initiative to all Central & State Government departments and State PSUs as well.
