STUDY ON ISSUES OF MSME CLUSTERS
K.R. RAMAKRISHNAN | Wed Mar 26 13:40:50 2014
It is firmly felt that the issues related to the Stainless Steel Utensils and Cutlery manufacturing industry should have been included in the study programme. There are several clusters across the country on this industry. There is a need for support for development of this industry as there is a shortfall of trained personnel in this industry and there is no concrete effort for setting up training institutes in this sector. The industrial training institutes should develop a curriculum for imparting training in this field especially for mechanical operations related to the production activities like blanking, pressing, spinning, rolling, buffing, polishing, etc. as this sector offers employment potential on large scale. The Government should also come out with support for removal of wastage generated out of this industrial activity.
Training on quality control, support for packaging development, tax exemption for new units at least for a period of 5 years, support for infrastructural development by way of easy access to
Financial support by way of collateral free loans, assistance for market development, brand development, assistance for recovery of debts from local market, international standard certification, etc.
