Project Report

The project report is a document prepared by experts that contains all


information regarding the proposed project. It is served as a blueprint of all
operations. The project report is the business plan of action and clearly describes
its goals and objectives. It helps in transforming the business idea into a
productive venture without any confusion as it defines strategies for project
execution.

Project reports are important tools to both project teams and


stakeholders. Through these reports, we track the current progress of the
project and compare it against the original plan. They can identify risks early on,
and take corrective action. Reports estimate all costs of operations and possible
profitability of the proposed project.

Importance of Project Report:

 Project reports are an important source for managers and stakeholders, to


monitor the current progress and measure against the original schedule.
 It helps to predict the threats and develop proper steps to recover.
 The report makes it easier to control the cost and budget apart from the
budgeted cost.
 It will be a source of information to respond to success, stagnation, team
results, or quality of work.
 The project report requires completeness and accuracy, also ensures
coverage of all dimensions of the project, makes the data more viable.

District industries Centre (DIC)

A District industries Centre is a district-level entity that assists in the


establishment of small businesses in the rural areas of India. Before establishing a
DIC, a potential entrepreneur must visit various organisations in order to obtain
the necessary support and facilities, and in many instances, most of them will be
located outside of their neighbourhood.
So, there were a lot of delays, as well as the entrepreneur having to incur many
expenses which they can’t afford. Due to these inconveniences, several agencies
of the state authority have now been assigned appropriately in charge to the
DIC. Thus, an entrepreneur may obtain all of the help they require in setting up
their business from a single institution, namely DIC.

Role of District Industries Centres (DICs)

District Industry Centres exist only to promote and support the businesses of
their respective states. The Department of Commerce and Industry in each state
forms DICs. Alongside DICs, Sub-District Industries Centres provide assistance.
DIC's responsibilities include:

 DIC assists an entrepreneur in the DIC programs and guarantees continuous


support during the establishment of their business.
 DIC offers young business owners a single-window clearing system that
allows them to settle their business-related problems quickly.

Compiled by – Dr. Pradip M. Joshi Page 7


Unit VI - Project report and Role and Support of Government Institutions

 DIC encourages the expansion and development of many manufacturing


industries in rural and urban communities.
 Under the Standup India Scheme, DIC provides financing for MSMEs,
start-ups and growing companies.
 DIC provides self-employed individuals with machinery and tools to help
them with their businesses.
 DIC also carries out a periodic assessment of their programs and schemes
to ensure proper implementation and operation.

Schemes Under the District Industries Centres (DICs)

Below is the list of DIC schemes:

 Prime Minister’s Employment Guarantee Program: This program started


its operations in 2008. This scheme's purpose is to assist educated but
jobless persons in rural and urban regions. It offers adequate job related
skills.
 DIC Loan Scheme: This scheme is accessible in cities and rural regions under
one lakh people and a capital investment less than ₹2 lakhs. It assists the
self-employed and smaller businesses in rural regions. Small size Industries
Board and Village Industries locate similar businesses and aid them in

 Seed Money Scheme: This program aids self-employed individuals who are
part of self-employment initiatives or specialised wage jobs. The financing
under the scheme is ₹25 lakhs. For ventures up to ₹10 lakhs, the seed
money support will be 15 percent. A loan from a bank will cover 75
percent of the project costs, with a maximum aid limitation of ₹3.75
lakhs for all SC/ST/OBC and the total support will be 20 percent.

Role of MIDC

Maharashtra State Financial Corporation


In the growth of the small and medium enterprises of the States, State
Financial Corporation, also known as SFC in short-form, plays a vital role. What
the SFC or State Financial Corporation does is provide Financial assistance to
small and medium enterprises. SFC provides this Financial assistance in various
forms, such as a direct subscription to the debentures or the equity, direct
subscriptions to the term loan, guarantees, discounting of the bills of exchange
and seed or the special capital. From all this, we can conclude that State
Financial Capital is an important aspect of commerce and hence it is important
for the students to study it.

Compiled by – Dr. Pradip M. Joshi Page 10


Unit VI - Project report and Role and Support of Government Institutions

Financial Capital (SFC) in detail.

The State Financial Corporations Act was passed in 1951 which empowered
all states and union territories to set up State Financial Corporations to meet
the need for financial assistance of micro, small and medium scale industries.
These State Financial Corporations provide loans to individual trading concerns,
partnership firms as well as private and public limited companies.
There are 18 State Financial Corporations in India at present, from which
17 are established in accordance with the State Financial Corporation Act 1951
and the eighteenth TamilNadu Industrial Investment Corporation Ltd was formed
according to Companies Act 1949. The State Financial Corporation of Punjab was
the first Financial Corporation to be set up in the country in 1953.
The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises are of increased importance in
India. They form a large part of Rural and Semi-Urban industries and provide
employment opportunities to a large number of people. The number of people
employed in Small and Medium industries is more as the technique of production
is labour-intensive than capital intensive. Due to the high number of employees
needed, the SMEs have a huge need for working capital and also fixed capital for
installing machinery and such. The State Financial Corporations are set up to
meet these requirements of Small and Medium Industries and to provide thrust
to the rural economy.
Functions of State Financial Corporations
The State Financial Corporations are established by the respective state
governments aimed at assisting Small and Medium industries. The major
functions of State Financial Corporations are-

1. Long Term Financial Assistance:


Providing long term financial assistance to finance small and medium industries is
the prominent function for which the State Financial Corporations are set up.
These enterprises may be in the form of individual proprietorships, partnership
firms, private or public companies and the maximum tenure of the loan is
twenty years.

Compiled by – Dr. Pradip M. Joshi Page 11


Unit VI - Project report and Role and Support of Government Institutions

2. Guarantee for Loans:


The State Financial Corporations also stand guarantee for loans taken by small
and medium business concerns from cooperative banks, commercial banks, or any
other banking financial institution for a tenure of up to 20 years.
3. Acts as Agents of Government:
The State Financial corporation also acts as an agent of the state as well as the
central government when it comes to implementing government schemes related
to small and medium industries financing. The SFCs also disburse loans as per
different schemes of the governments.
4. Underwriting and Subscription:
The State Financial Corporation also functions as an underwriter by underwriting
the shares of small and medium public companies. The SFCs also subscribe to
debentures of these small and medium firms which are of tenure of fewer than
20 years.
5. Credit and Guarantee for Purchases:
The State Financial Corporation also provides loans and guarantees deferred
payment for purchases for the industry like machinery, plant, or any other fixed
expenditure.

Working of (SFC) State Financial Corporations


Each State Financial Corporation is run and led by a board of directors.
The board of directors will have 10 members. The board itself is headed by a
managing director who is appointed by the state government in consultation
with the RBI. The state government also appoints three more directors. All
insurance companies, scheduled banks, investment banks, and other quasi-
government institutions elect the other three members. Therefore, the majority
of director appointments come from the government’s side.
The maximum paid-up capital of any State Financial Corporation is rupees
five crores. The minimum capital is fixed at rupees fifty lakhs. The total capital
of the State Financial Corporations is divided into shares and is acquired by the

Compiled by – Dr. Pradip M. Joshi Page 12


Unit VI - Project report and Role and Support of Government Institutions

state government, Reserve Bank of India, cooperative banks, other insurance, and
financial institutions, and even private parties.
SFCs can also add to its capacity of funds by issuing debentures and
bonds. These instruments will carry a fixed return and can be subscribed to by
the public. The issue of such borrowed capital should not exceed five times the
paid-up capital and reserve taken together. The maximum amount of reserve
that any State Financial corporation can hold is rupees ten lakhs.

Problems of State Financial Corporations


 Bad loans are prevalent in State Financial Corporations and are quite
common as in commercial banks and other financial institutions. The loans
are taken by small and medium industries who find it tough to repay the
loans which put the State Financial Corporations in a fix.

 The excessive focus on granting loans is also a problem of State Financial


Corporations. The small and medium firms are also in need of other
financial services that the corporations do not focus on.

 The leniency of the financial corporations to the larger firms is also very
common. This will lead to the lack of financial services for smaller firms,
which are actually in more need of funds.

 As the employees of the financial corporations are appointed by the


government via a general eligibility criterion, there is a dearth of
specialized technical staff. This leads to a lack of efficiency in the
implementation of policies and programs.

 One of the most important drawbacks of borrowing funds from the SFCs
is the high rate of interest charged by it. This high rate of interest
generally puts the small and medium entrepreneurs in a tough position.

 The rigorous procedures and formalities to gain a loan from an SFC is also
a huge hurdle for businessmen. People find it easier to borrow from
commercial banks and other financial institutions.

Compiled by – Dr. Pradip M. Joshi Page 13


Unit VI - Project report and Role and Support of Government Institutions

 The limited amount of resources that the SFCs possess is also a menace
when it comes to providing the necessary financial services. The SFCs are
constrained due to stringent laws curtailing them from acquiring extra
capital or even borrowings.

Role and Importance MSSIDC


1. Employment generation: Small scale industries are one of the best sources of
employment generation in India. Employment is one of the most important
factors that determines the growth of a nation. Therefore, development of
small scale industries should be encouraged for the development of more
employment opportunities in the nation.
2. Less Capital Requirement: Small scale industries are less capital intensive than
the large scale industries. Capital is scarce in developing countries like India and
therefore, small scale industries are most suitable for maintaining the balance.
3. Use of resources and development of entrepreneurial skills: Small scale
industries allow for the development of entrepreneurial skills among the rural
population which is not having the scope of large scale industries. These
industries help in the appropriate use of the resources available in the rural
areas, which leads to development of rural areas.
4. Equal income distribution: Small scale industries by generating employment
opportunities create equal income opportunities for the youth of the
underdeveloped areas. This leads to the growth of the nation in terms of
employment, human development.
5. Maintains regional balance: It has been seen that large scale industries are
mostly concentrated in the large cities or restricted to areas which leads to
migration of people in search of employment to these cities. The result of such
a migration is overcrowding of the city and damage to the environment. For
sustaining a large population, more of natural resources need to be utilised.
6. Short production time: Small scale industries have a shorter production time
than the large scale industries which results in flow of money in the economy.
7. Supporting the large scale industries: Small scale industries help in the growth
of the large scale industries by producing ancillary products for the large
industries or producing small components that will be useful for the assembling
of final products by the large scale industries.

Compiled by – Dr. Pradip M. Joshi Page 17


Unit VI - Project report and Role and Support of Government Institutions

8. Improvement in Export: Small scale industries contribute to around 40% of


the total exports done by India, which forms a significant part of the revenue
earned from the exports. Small scale industries work towards increasing the forex
reserves of the country that reduces the load on balance of payment of the
country.
9. Reduce the dependence of agriculture: Most of the rural population will be
dependent on agriculture and this creates a burden on the agricultural sector.
Small scale industries by providing employment opportunities to the rural
population provides more avenues for growth and also paves way for a more
arranged distribution of occupation.

Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI)


The government established SIDBI under a special Parliament Act as a subsidiary
of the IDBI. Now the SIDBI is an independent body of its own that focuses
mainly on the financing of the Small, Micro and Medium Enterprise (MSME)
Sectors of the economy. It now is responsible for the allocation of the Small
Industries Development Fund (which was the responsibility of the IDBI
previously).
SIDBI makes use of the current banking network to extend credit facilities to
the small business and micro industries sector. It provides direct financial
assistance to such banks and institutes which are passed over to the MSME
sector. It also provides indirect financial assistance via line of credit, refinancing
facilities, bills discounting, etc. It is a statutory body set up under an act of
the Indian Parliament in 1990.
