Corporate Mitra Scheme 2026: Support System for MSMEs
The Corporate Mitra Scheme 2026 has gained attention as a major initiative aimed at creating trained paraprofessionals to support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The scheme seeks to build a skilled cadre of “Corporate Mitras” who can assist MSMEs in regulatory compliance, GST, accounting, financial guidance, cost accounting, secretarial services and corporate governance.
According to the scheme guidelines, the programme includes structured academic learning along with on-the-job training, helping youth become industry-ready while also improving professional support for MSMEs. This is significant because MSMEs often struggle with compliance costs, taxation procedures and formal financial management. By providing affordable professional assistance, the scheme can strengthen ease of doing business in Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
India’s First Offshore Airport Planned Near Kore Beach, Palghar
Maharashtra has moved forward with the proposal for India’s first offshore airport near Kore beach in Palghar district.

Haryana and Rajasthan Move Ahead on Yamuna Water Sharing

The project is expected to help water-scarce regions of Rajasthan, especially through pipeline-based transfer of allocated Yamuna water. It also carries significance for inter-state river water cooperation, federal coordination and long-term drinking water security.
