ZED (Zero Defect Zero Effect) Certification.
In the last fifty years, India's MSME sector has become a dynamic and active component of the nation's economy. Small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) (Hyperlink) play a crucial role in generating a large number of job opportunities at a lower capital cost than large corporations.
On the night before India's 68th Independence Day, Prime Minister Modi urged the country's industries, especially the MSMEs, to manufacture products within India that have "zero flaws" and have "zero impact" on the environment. The Indian government introduced the Make in India and Zero Defect initiatives, and the Zero Effect initiative highlighted the government's goal to use manufacturing as a driving force for long-term growth in the economy.
