The object of the scheme is to lend support and assistance to micro food processing units, especially those operating in the unorganized sector, in the forms of finance, technical assistance, and business support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scheme works as a flagship program for the formalization of the sector so as to enhance competitiveness and grow
