Modernization of Rural Enterprise (MoRE)
The MoRE programme, implemented by RIIELG in West Bengal, adopts a structured approach to modernize traditional rural and artisanal enterprises. By introducing energyefficient technologies, cleaner production methods, and sustainable practices, the project addresses pressing environmental concerns while enhancing productivity and competitiveness. Its necessity lies in reducing carbon emissions, curbing dependence on thermal energy, lowering operational costs, and creating a sustainable roadmap for MSMEs. This intervention not only strengthens enterprises but also promotes inclusive rural development and livelihood security.

Enterprises seeking support under MoRE must be registered on the Udyam portal and have operated for at least six months as of 5th September 2026. Eligible units should demonstrate readiness to upgrade or modernize their operations through selffinance or credit assistance from banks, RRBs, SFBs, NBFCs, or other financial institutions. This ensures that beneficiaries are genuine, committed enterprises capable of adopting sustainable technologies, thereby maximizing the programme’s impact on productivity, environmental sustainability, and longterm competitiveness.
