Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are influential in the creation of jobs and the eminence of inclusive economic growth in developing economies in the development of rural livelihoods. Mayurbhanj district, or the Odisha region, is largely tribal and rural, with a high likelihood of MSMEs impacting the local economies through schemes of entrepreneurship and self-employment. Nevertheless, the industry remains vulnerable to various limitations that include of unavailability of skills, which seems to be one of the most significant development and survival issues. The paper gives the interrelationship between rural livelihood and entrepreneurship and the performance of the MSMEs with particular reference to the skill gap in Mayurbhanj district. The article brushes over the ineffectiveness of productivity, innovativeness and competitiveness of local businesses, which is not contributed to by the lack of technical, managerial and entrepreneurial skills. It also examines the socio-economic impact of such gaps, specifically like under-exploited livelihood and the decline of entrepreneurial activity in the district. This paper is grounded on secondary data, governmental reports, and literature review, states that it is necessary to work on the skill development programs, which should be developed according to the local context. It suggests that the gaps in these sections could be bridged through assisted training and capacity building and institutional provision in a bid to promote the effectiveness of entrepreneurship and empower the rural people, self-reliance and accelerated development of MSME in Mayurbhanj. Its findings are also channelled to policy debates concerning how skills training can be used to stimulate the ecosystem of MSMEs in collaboration with entrepreneurship promotion to come up with sustainable means of enhancing livelihoods in rural regions.
