SSI Pre-independence
Before Independence, the present small scale industry was
meant to denote the village and the urban cottage industry.
This group included a variety of industries ranging from
manufacturing of Iron safes, locks, carpets, marble jigs, baskets,
hand-loom cloth and the like.
In fact, at that time the term „cottage and Small scale industries‟
was used in juxtaposition to large scale industries, which were
established under the British patronage.
They received encouragement and support during the freedom
movement.
The small scale industries found a prominent place in the
economic programme envisaged by the Indian National
Congress.
12
SSI Post-Independence
After 1947
Jawaharlal Nehru maintained separate entities of small scale industries. He was of the
view that a small industry was the middle sector and it would overlap both the cottage
and the large industries.
1977 industrial Policy
The basic policy support of SSI sector had its roots in the Industrial Policy Resolution
1977, laid emphasis on reservation of items.
The reservation economically viable and technologically feasible products to be
exclusively manufactured by small scale industry began with a list of 47 items which
was gradually extended to too many products.
At Present 812 items are in the reserved list.
The limit on the fixed capital investment for SSI’s was Rs 7.5 lakhs and for ancillaries it
was Rs 10 lakhs. After the Industrial Policy, the ceiling for investment for SSI’s was
raised to Rs 60 lakhs and Rs 70 lakhs for ancillaries .

ROLE OF SSI IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
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.
20
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.

EMPLOYMENT
SSI Sector in India creates largest employment opportunities
for the Indian populace, next only to Agriculture.
It has been estimated that 100,000 rupees of investment in
fixed assets in the small-scale sector generates employment
for four persons.
Generation of Employment - Industry
Group-wise
Food products industry has ranked first in generating
employment, providing employment to 0.48 million persons
(13.1%).
The next two industry groups were Non-metallic mineral
products with employment of 0.45 million persons (12.2%)
and Metal products with 0.37 million persons (10.2%).
In Chemicals & chemical products, Machinery parts, Wood
products, Basic Metal Industries, Paper products &
printing, Hosiery & garments, Repair services and Rubber
& plastic products, the contribution ranged from 9% to 5%,
the total contribution by these eight industry groups being
49%.
In all other industries the contribution was less than 5%.
Employment Distribution
Rural
Non-metallic products contributed 22.7% to employment generated in rural
areas. Food Products accounted for 21.1%, Wood Products and Chemicals
and chemical products shared between them 17.5%.
Urban
As for urban areas, Food Products and Metal Products almost equally shared
22.8% of employment. Machinery parts except electrical, Non-metallic
mineral products, and Chemicals & chemical products between them
accounted for 26.2% of employment.
In metropolitan areas the leading industries were Metal products,
Machinery and parts except electrical and Paper products & printing (total
share being 33.6%).
State-wise Employment
Distribution
Tamil Nadu (14.5%) made the maximum contribution to
employment.
This was followed by Maharashtra (9.7%), Uttar Pradesh
(9.5%) and West Bengal (8.5%) the total share being 27.7%.
Gujarat (7.6%), Andhra Pradesh (7.5%), Karnataka (6.7%)
and Punjab (5.6%) together accounted for another 27.4%.

EXPORT
SSI Sector plays a major role in India's
present export performance.
This takes place through merchant
exporters, trading houses and export
houses. They may also be in the form of
export orders from large units or the
production of parts and components for use
for finished exportable goods.
The product groups where the SSI sector
dominates in exports, are sports goods,
readymade garments, woolen garments and
knitwear, plastic products, processed food
and leather products.
SSI Sector contributes about 45%-50% of
the Indian Exports.

3) A Small Enterprise has lesser Gestation Period compared to a Large Enterprise. i.e., the
period after which the return on Investment starts.
4) Small Enterprises generally carryout their operations so as to cater to the Local & Regional
Markets.
5) Small Enterprises use indigenous resources & therefore can be located anywhere subject to
the availability of these resources like Raw Materials, Labor, Transport Facilities etc.
6) They are fairly Labor Intensive with comparatively smaller Capital Investment than the
Larger Units. That is, for the same Investment, a Small Enterprise provides more jobs to the
people compared to a Large Enterprise.
33
7) Using Local Resources, Small Units are decentralized & dispersed to Rural
Areas & Smaller Towns. Thus, the development of Small Enterprises in Rural Areas
& Smaller towns promotes more Balanced Regional Development & thereby prevents
influx of job seekers from rural areas & smaller towns to bigger cities & urbanizing
centers.
8) Small Enterprises are more susceptible & highly reactive & receptive to Socio –
Economic conditions compared to larger enterprises. They are more flexible to adapt
changes like Diversification to New Products, adopting to New Production
Techniques, substituting New Raw Materials, Changes in Organization Structure,
New Market etc
34
Advantages of Small Enterprises :
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 : (12 Points)
1) They create greater Employment Opportunities thro Labor Intensive processes &
thereby help in tackling the Unemployment Problem.
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.
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

Government Policy towards SSI :
Small Scale Enterprises have been given an important place in the frame work of
Indian Planning for both ideological & Economic Reasons. Development of Small Scale
Enterprises have been taken up with various important objectives to be realized. These are :
(1) The generation of Immediate Employment Opportunities with relatively Low
Investment.
(2) The promotion of more equitable distribution of National Income.
(3) Effective mobilization of untapped Capital & Human Skills.
(4) Dispersal of Manufacturing activities all over the Country, leading to growth of
Villages , Small Towns & economically Backward Regions. For the purpose of
administration of India’s Micro & Small Enterprises have been divided into Seven Groups
as under into Traditional Sector & Modern Sector.
Traditional Sector :
1) Handicrafts.
2) Handlooms.
3) Khadi, Village & Cottage Industries.
4) Coir.
5) Sericulture.
Modern Sector :
6) Power Looms.
7) Residual Micro & Small Enterprises.
39
Khadi & Village Industries Commission
(KVIC ) :
This is a Statutory Body created by an act of the Parliament in 1956. It is
concerned with Planning, Promotion, Organization, & Implementation of the
Programme for the Development of Khadi & other Village Industries in the Rural
Areas in Coordination with other agencies engaged in Rural Development
whenever necessary. The Various Functions are :
40
National
Productivity
Council (NPC) :
This is an Autonomous Institution functioning under the Overall
Supervision of the Ministry of Industry, Govt of India. Its Head Office
is at New Delhi. It has got Regional Directorates at almost all the State
Capitals. Its Primary Objective is to Act as a Catalyst in enhancing the
Productivity of all the Sectors of the Economy , including Industry &
Agriculture.
41
Governmental Support to
Small Scale Enterprises :
Immediately after independence, Govt of India initiated various steps
for promotion & development of Small Scale & Cottage Industries. Govt
of India has attached great importance to the development of Small
Enterprises Sector in all the Five Year Plans since the beginning in
1951.
42
Details of the same are seen below :
43
These are :
44
Impact of Liberalization, Privatization
& Globalization of Small Enterprises :
The process of Liberalization & Economic Reforms , since
1991, have thrown up new challenges to the small enterprises
sector , simultaneously creating tremendous opportunities for the
growth of this sector.
45
Even before introduction of the Economic Reforms in
1991, following the inevitable Globalization, the Small
Enterprises sector was somewhat overprotected. With
Liberalization & Globalization, they are now more exposed
to severe competition from Large Domestic Private
Enterprises & from Foreign & other MNC’s.
46
Effect of WTO / GATT on
Small Enterprises :
The Emerging Challenges to Micro & Small Enterprises
Sector are due to impact of the agreements under the WTO to
which India is a Signatory.
47
More stringent Patent Laws have been brought into force
thro regulation of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) under the
Trade related aspects of the Intellectual Property Rights
(TRIPS) Agreement which stipulates the Products & Processes
which can be patented for what duration of time (20 Years) & on
what terms.
48
Increased Market Access under the WTO requirements will
also mean that our Small Enterprises have a bigger World
Market & can compete for Export Markets in both Developed &
Developing Countries. This requires restructuring of our Small
Enterprises to meet the demands of Quality & Global
Competitiveness for their survival & growth.
49
In addition, the Open General License (OGL)
opens up the possibility of Direct Competition in the
Domestic Market with the Import of High Quality
Goods from developed Nations & Cheap Products from
Less Developed Countries. Also, the entry of MNC’s
has intensified Competition in the Domestic Market.
Also, these Enterprises are finding it extremely difficult
to compete due to certain inherent problems like Poor
Quality of Goods, Costly Credit, not so well developed
Infrastructure, Traditional Technology, Strict Labor
Laws, Lack of Information & International Exposure &
ineffective Small Enterprises association.
50
Suggestions
Development measures should be spread
Rising productivity needs to be made sustainable
Assistance programs need to be tackled
Skill based needs need to be improved
CASE STUDY
The samples have been taken from the register of the industries
maintained by the District Industry Centre (DIC),Varanasi on the
random basis. Initially, a sample of 250 units belonging to different
categories were taken, but in the course of survey it was observed that
a large number of units have disappeared from the actual place of
work. It may be noted that every year several units are registered with
the DIC but due to one reason or the other most of them could not
survive on sound footing and eventually die in due course of time.
Further, there were units which could not response our queries
satisfactorily. At last, we had to satisfy with only 101 units which could
response our queries in a satisfactory manner.
52
MARKETING PROBLEMS
FACED
Lack of relevant information of demographic features.
Lack of relevant information regarding economic factors. Lack of
relevant information about appropriate technology.
Lack of sufficient entrepreneurial skills and talents.
Lack of eagerness to ascertain socio-cultural influences.
Unnecessary reliance on traditional methods and approaches.
Lack of understanding of setting marketing objectives.
53
Lack of information about user’s status, usage rate, benefits sought
attitudes, etc.
5. Insufficient understanding and expertise of procedure of segmenting
market.
6. Unnecessary reliance on past experience and practices regarding the
selection of market
54
CONCLUSION
Effective management requires leadership plus administrative skills in
planning, organising, directing and controlling the entire business
operations. Because of limited financial resources and inability to hire
professional managerial personnel, small-scale units lack specialisation
in the execution of various functions of management. The majority of
small-scale units are sole proprietorship organisations and as such
these units are highly personal in nature, i.e., the single man’s show. It
is very difficult to take quick decisions in all respects and implementing
these decisions promptly since the sole proprietor is neither a
production oriented engineer nor sales oriented merchant. He has no
time to look after other functions. Moreover, the majority of sole
proprietors are illiterate or have low level of education and lack
managerial skill.
55
They also do not possess the qualities like motivation, sense of
commitment and business morality. Consequently, the small-scale units
suffer from dearth of efficient management and poor managerial skill
resulting in sickness of units.
Thus, it is evident that SSI sector faces difficulties at every stage of their
activities, whether it is buying materials for production, organising
production, selling products in the market, they are put to a number of
difficulties. No wonder than that their products are small in quantity
and shoddy in quality. Therefore, more concerted efforts, particularly in
the area of marketing, are required on the part of the Government,
Entrepreneurs, Promotional agencies and Financial agencies, so that
the growth rate of SSI sector can be accelerated further.
