Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) was launched in September, 2015 with a view to promote ease of doing business.
“The success of the same can be got from the fact that about 8 lakh registrations have already been done in the last 8 ½ months, while, registration during the 67 years of independence was only around 22 lakhs,” MSME Minsiter Kalraj Mishra said while interacting with media on achievements of his Ministry in the last two years.
