 Industry Profile
About Us
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and
dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. MSMEs not only play
crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost
than large industries but also help in industrialization of rural & backward areas, thereby,
reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution of national income and
wealth. MSMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary units and this sector
contributes enormously to the socio-economic development of the country.

Khadi is the proud legacy of our national freedom movement and the father of the nation.
Khadi and Village Industries (KVI) are two national heritages of India. One of the most
significant aspects of KVI in Indian economy is that it creates employment at a very low per
capita investment. The KVI Sector not only serves the basic needs of processed goods of
the vast rural sector of the country, but also provides sustainable employment to rural
artisans. KVI today represent an exquisite, heritage product, which is 'ethnic' as well as
ethical. It has a potentially strong clientele among the middle and upper echelons of the
society.

Coir Industry is an agro-based traditional industry, which originated in the state of Kerala
and proliferated to the other coconut producing states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Assam, Tripura, etc. It is an export oriented
industry and having greater potential to enhance exports by value addition through
technological interventions and diversified products like Coir Geotextiles etc. The
acceptability of Coir products has increased rapidly due to its 'environment friendly' image.

Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (M/o MSME) envision a vibrant MSME sector
by promoting growth and development of the MSME Sector, including Khadi, Village and
Coir Industries, in cooperation with concerned Ministries/Departments, State Governments
and other Stakeholders, through providing support to existing enterprises and encouraging
creation of new enterprises.

The Micro; Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act was notified in 2006
to address policy issues affecting MSMEs as well as the coverage and investment ceiling of
the sector. The Act seeks to facilitate the development of these enterprises as also enhance
their competitiveness. It provides the first-ever legal framework for recognition of the
concept of "enterprise" which comprises both manufacturing and service entities. It defines
medium enterprises for the first time and seeks to integrate the three tiers of these
enterprises, namely, micro, small and medium. The Act also provides for a statutory
consultative mechanism at the national level with balanced representation of all sections of
stakeholders, particularly the three classes of enterprises; and with a wide range of advisory
functions. Establishment of specific funds for the promotion, development and enhancing
competitiveness of these enterprises, notification of schemes/programmes for this purpose,
progressive credit policies and practices, preference in Government procurements to
products and services of the micro and small enterprises, more effective mechanisms for
mitigating the problems of delayed payments to micro and small enterprises and assurance
of a scheme for easing the closure of business by these enterprises are some of the other
features of the Act.

On 9 May 2007, subsequent to an amendment of the Government of India (Allocation of

Business) Rules, 1961, erestwhile Ministry of Small Scale Industries and the Ministry of
Agro and Rural Industries were merged to form the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises (M/o MSME). This Ministry now designs policies and promotes/ facilitates
programmes, projects and schemes and monitors their implementation with a view to
assisting MSMEs and help them to scale up.

The primary responsibility of promotion and development of MSMEs is of the State

Governments. However, the Government of India, supplements the efforts of the State
Governments through various initiatives. The role of the M/o MSME and its organizations is
to assist the States in their efforts to encourage entrepreneurship, employment and
livelihood opportunities and enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs in the changed
economic scenario. The schemes/ programmes undertaken by the Ministry and its
organizations seek to facilitate/provide: i) adequate flow of credit from financial
institutions/banks; ii) support for technology upgradation and modernization; iii) integrated

10
infrastructural facilities; iv) modern testing facilities and quality certification; v) access to
modern management practices; vi) entrepreneurship development and skill upgradation
through appropriate training facilities; vii) support for product development, design
intervention and packaging; viii) welfare of artisans and workers; ix) assistance for better
access to domestic and export markets and x) cluster-wise measures to promote capacity-
building and empowerment of the units and their collectives.
