FINANCE TO MSME
P.K. Mazumder | Thu Jun 12 07:26:56 2014
I expect a simple one page application for a go / no go type procedure to determine if the applicant qualifies. This process will save time to both applicant and the reviewer and should be processed within three working days. Thereafter, the details can be worked out but should be completed within 2-3 weeks after submission of all documents.Do you think it is possible?


Finance To MSMEs
G.Rama Mohanan Nair | Thu Jun 12 04:16:22 2014
Hi, Finance to MSMEs is a very big issue. Refusal to finance, Inordinate delay in Financing/rejection of application, making the units sick even before starting the production,inadequate finance, refusal to accept Credit guarantee trust fund scheme , demanding huge collateral all these are strangling the MSMEs before their birth. I, as an industrial consultant have firsthand information about this fate of the entrepreneurs.Suggestions: 1)State Financial Corporations should also be brought under the purview of Ombudsmen. 2)Penal provisions on erring bureaucrats should be introduced for delays beyond a certain benchmark time. 3)The procedural delays in the processing of claims are what deter the Banks to accept CGTF Scheme. A review is needed here. Bank officials should be given periodical training on the operation of this scheme. 3) More awareness programmes are needed for the Operation of MSME Exchanges. 4) Quite a lot of training programmes of a permanent nature for the small entrepreneurs in manufacturing processes, esp for women is the need of the day.

Industrial Policy 2009 of Gujrat- Schemes for CDM projects etc
Kailash Agrawal, Raipur (C.G.) | Wed Jun 11 07:53:12 2014
Pollution is connected with Fuel Efficiency. Maximum combustion of Fuel means minimum pollution. Flame without Fume. Minimize Heat Loss by Insulation or other process in Industry and Domestic consumption of Fuels. Alternative sources of energy Solar, Wind etc. should be encouraged and promoted at large scale extensively. Coal based and other projects emitting Green House gases should be discouraged. Coal excavation and Petroleum from under the Sea should be reviewed in view of disturbance to Eco-balance and incidents of Kedarnath-Dham in Uttarakhand. Research and Development should be made in view of the above. Development with Clean concept only, is solicited. Industrial Policy 2009 of Gujrat Government with schemes of Carbon Credits, Clean Development Mechanism Projects and Common Facility Centers for Waste Management etc. and PDS of C.G. are model for other States. Best of all the Policies schemes should be incorporated in National Policies to be adopted by other Departments and States, as they are equally applicable and beneficial for Environment, Mankind, Living & Non-living Beings. Regards.
