Abstract:    Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are crucial for fostering sustainable rural development. This paper explores their economic, social, and environmental impacts, emphasizing their role in job creation, poverty alleviation, and promoting sustainable practices. Through empirical data and case studies, it identifies challenges such as limited access to finance, inadequate infrastructure, and market constraints. The study concludes with policy recommendations to enhance MSMEs' contributions, highlighting their potential to drive equitable and sustainable growth in rural areas. Empowering MSMEs is essential for achieving long-term rural development and sustainability goals.
