2. SSI’s
• Stands for Small Scale Industries
• MSME in Indian Context
• Governed by MSME Act, 2006
3. Small Scale Industries
• A SSI is an industrial undertaking in which the investment in fixed
assets in plant and machinery, whether held on ownership term or
on lease or hire purchase, does not exceed Rs.1 Crore.
• This investment limit is varied by the government from time to time.
• Entrepreneurs in small scale sector are normally not required to obtain
a licence either from the Central Government or the State
Government for setting up units in any part of the country.
Registration of a small scale unit is also not compulsory.
4. • The ministry of micro, small and medium enterprises acts as the
nodal agency for growth and development of SSIs in the country.
(http://msme.gov.in/Web/Portal/New-Default.aspx)
• Objective: To promote SSIs and enhance their competitiveness Various
public sector enterprises assist it.
5. • Small Industry Development Organization. (SIDO)
- It is the apex body for assisting the government in formulating and
overseeing the implementation of its policies and
programmes/projects/schemes.
• National Small Industries Corporation Ltd. (NSIC):
• It was established by the government with a view to promoting, aiding
and fostering the growth of SSI in the country, with focus on
commercial aspects of their operations
6. Importance of SMEs
• Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are vital for
development of a country
– Helps reshaping the productive sectors
– Generates employment
– Creating an environment for entrepreneurship
– Promotes innovation
• Globally, SMEs contribute over 90% of Business
Enterprises and 50-60% of Total Employment.
(UNIDO Report 2009-10)
7. Facts About MSME

40% of its exports.
• It provide employment to about 60 million people
through 26 million enterprises.
8. • The Small Scale Industry Sector holds the Key
to Economic Prosperity of the Indian Economy,
Characterized by abundant Labor Supply,
Unemployment & Under Employment , Scarcity
of Finance, Growing Modern Large Industries
providing scope for development of Ancillary
Industries & so on.
• The Small Scale Industry has grown
phenomenally during the last Six Decades & has
acquired a very prominent place in the Socio –
Economic Development in the Country.

9. • The scenario of small scale
sector changed with industrial
policy establishment in 1991
• Liberalization came into
existence
• It was the post liberalization
era (1991 to 2006)
• This reflected the growth of
SSI’s
• In 1991 the growth rate of SSI
was almost 3 times of the total
industrial sector from 1992 to
1995
• However in 1995 the growth
rate was slightly lower but
again it increased in 1996

44. Characteristics of Small
Enterprises :
• A Small Enterprise is generally a “One Man
Show”.
• Owner himself / herself is also a Manager of the
Enterprise. Thus, a Small Enterprise is managed
in a personalized manner.
• A Small Enterprise has lesser Gestation Period
compared to a Large Enterprise.
• Small Enterprises generally carryout their
operations so as to cater to the Local & Regional
Markets.
44
45. Characteristics of Small
Enterprises :
• Small Enterprises use indigenous resources & therefore can be located
anywhere subject to the availability of these resources like Raw Materials,
Labor, Transport Facilities etc.
• They are fairly Labor Intensive with comparatively smaller Capital
Investment than the Larger Units.
• Using Local Resources, Small Units are decentralized & dispersed to Rural
Areas & Smaller Towns
• Small Enterprises are more susceptible & highly reactive & receptive to
Socio – Economic conditions compared to larger enterprises
45
47. 1. EMPLOYMENT
• SSIs are labor intensive so there is a great employment potential.
• Large-scale industries are capital intensive, hence not in a position to solve
acute unemployment problems in India.
• SSI employed 129.80 lakh people in 1991-92 which increased to 239.09
lakh in 2000-01 and further to 294.91 lakh in 2005-06.
2. CAPITAL LIGHT
• India is a capital scarce country, which is why we need to make optimum
use of all the capital and resources available in terms of employment and
productivity.
• SSIs are capital light and hence more suitable to underdeveloped nations.
• Limited capital is needed to start an SSI, the returns are quick, and those
returns can again be reinvested.
48. 3. SKILL LIGHT AND IMPORT LIGHT
• No technological skill or managerial skill required.
• More suitable to underdeveloped countries where literacy rate is low and
skilled labor is scarce.
• Require less import of machinery, technical skill hence placing little or no
strain on the scarce foreign exchange reserves of developing nations.
4. MOBILIZATION OF CAPITAL RESOURCE AND
ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILL
• Easy mobilization of capital, entrepreneurial skill and other sources all
over the country.
• Savings in rural areas can be mobilized by SSIs more easily then large scale
industries.
• Idle resources can be put to effective use.
49. 5. SUPPORT TO AGRICULTURE AND LARGE-
SCALE INDUSTRIES
• They help supply inputs , processing facilities as well as consumer goods to
rural masses.
• Rural based SSIs help absorb all the surplus labor in villages and towns thus
improving the productivity in the agricultural sector.
• SSIs also help large scale industries by supplying spare parts, components etc.
6. REGIONAL DISPERSAL OF INDUSTRIES AND
BALANCED REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
• Political, social and economic factors affect the development of all regions.
• Some regions are more developed while others continue to lag behind.
• Large scale industries are mostly centered in some big cities, while SSIs help
decentralize industries thus helping avoid, space crunch, slum development
problems etc.
• Since SSIs are easy to set up, they can be set up anywhere and hence contribute to
a balanced regional development.
50. 7. REDUCTION IN INCOME-INEQUALITIES AND
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF NATIONAL INCOME
• SSIs help equitable distribution of national income because of 2 reasons:
a) Ownership of SSI is more widespread than large-scale industries.
b) SSIs possess large employment potential.
8. CONTRIBUTION TO EXPORTS AND INDUSTRIAL
OUTPUT
• 45%-50% of the Indian Exports is being contributed by SSI Sector.
• Direct exports from the SSI Sector account for nearly 35% of total exports.
• It is estimated that small scale industrial units contribute around 15% to
exports indirectly.
• The exports from SSI sector has been clocking excellent growth rates
mostly fuelled by the performance of garment, leather and gems and
jewellery units from this sector.
• No. of industrial units has grown from 23.9L in ‘93-94 to 118. 59L in ‘04-05.
Output has increased from 241,648 cr in ‘93-94 to 4,18,263 cr in ‘04-05.
51. 9. LESS INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES
• Do not face problem of frequent strikes and lockouts. Hence no loss of
man-days and output in SSIs.
52. Role of Small enterprises in Indian
economy

54. Role of Small Enterprises in
Economic Development :
54
Economic Development of a Country can be defined in terms of
Increase in Real Per Capita Income of Persons resulting in Improvement in
Standard of Living. The Development of Small Enterprises contributes to
the Increase in Per Capita Income & leads to Overall Economic
Development.
It generates Vast Employment Opportunities quickly with relatively
Low Investment , Promotes more equitable distribution of National Income,
makes effective mobilization of Unutilized Capital & Skilled Manpower &
leads to dispersal of Manufacturing Activities all over the Country , leading
to Growth of Villages , Small Towns & Economically Backward Regions.
This leads to Balanced Regional Development throughout the Country.
55. 55
The Role of Small Enterprises in Economic
Development of our Country can be discussed with
reference to the following parameters during the last
Four Decades :
1) Increase in the Number of Small Enterprises.
2) Increase in the Value of Production in Rupee
Terms.
3) Increase in the Number of People Employed.
4) Increase in the Export Earnings in Rupee
Terms.
56. 56
The Small Enterprises have registered phenomenal growth
in their Number, Production, Employment & Exports over the
Last Four Decades.
In 1950, there were 16,000 Registered Small Scale
Industries & this has increased to 31.21 Lakh Registered SSI’s
during 1998 – 1999.
During 1973 – 74, the Total Value of Production reported
by SSI’s was Rs. 7200 Crores & this has grown phenomenally
by about 75 Times to Rs. 5,38,357 Crores during 1998 – 1999.
As regards Employment, about 40 Lakh People were
employed in SSI Sector during 1973 – 1974 & there is a Four
Fold Increase in Employment during 1998 – 1999, that is 175.2
Lakh People were employed in SSI Sector during 1998 – 1999.

There is a Phenomenal Growth in Exports Revenue during the
last Four Decades. During 1973 -1974, SSI Sector exported Rs. 393
Crores worth of Goods & Services & this has grown nearly 150
times to Rs. 57, 488 Crores during 1998 -1999.
This statistics shows that the SSI Sector has been contributing
tremendously in overall economic development of the Country by
creating Vast Employment Opportunities , increased Value of
Production, & increased Value of Exports & Foreign Exchange
Earnings.
Another way of looking at the SSI Sector for the Economic
Development of the Country is to look at its Relative Position in
terms of Country’s Total Production, Employment & Exports. It is
encouraging to note that Small Scale Enterprises accounts for 35 %
of the Gross Value of the Output in the Manufacturing Sector , about
80 % of the Total Industrial Employment & about 40 % of the Total
Exports of the Country.
59. Advantages of Small
Enterprises :
59
They are the Back Bone of the Industrial
Activity in the Country & are playing a very
important role in improving the Socio – Economic
Conditions of the people. Advantages of these
Enterprises are as follows :
1) They create greater Employment
Opportunities thro Labor Intensive processes &
thereby help in tackling the Unemployment
Problem.
60. 2) They have Low Gestation Period & thereby
Expensive Financial Resources are not idled
unproductively for long periods.
3) They can be set up easily in Rural & Backward
Areas.
4) They need Small / Local / Regional Market.
5) They encourage growth of Local Entrepreneurship.
6) They create Decentralized pattern of Ownership.
7) They foster Diversification of Economic Activities.
60
61. 8) They Innovate & Introduce New Products
particularly to cater to Local Needs.
9) They influence & improve Standard of Living
of Local People.
10) They provide equitable dispersal of enterprises
throughout Rural & Backward Areas.
11) They earn Vital Foreign Exchange for the
Country through their Exports of Goods / Services.
12) They Increase Revenue to Central & State
Govts by way of Taxes Paid by them.
