SME Times News Bureau | 15 Oct, 2009
The First meeting of the subcommittees on the Infrastructure/Technology/Skill Development of the Task Force constituted by the Prime Ministerâs office was held in New Delhi recently.
Dinesh Rai, Secretary, Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises chaired the meeting.
The Sub-Group on the Infrastructure/Technology/Skill Development is one of the seven sub-groups of the Task Force constituted by the Prime Ministerâs Office to study the bottlenecks inhibiting the development of Micro and Small Enterprises and draft recommendations for implementation by various departments to put the MSEs on higher trajectory of growth.
The members of the sub group discussed various impediments in Infrastructure/Technology/Skill Development particularly in relation to MSEs. Valuable suggestions were given by the members in the meeting.
Additional Chief Secretary to Tamilnadu, Shri P. Selvam, suggested that there should be some earmarked quota of industrial plots for MSEs.
Shri Saurabh Garg, Secretary-Cum-Commissioner, Government of Orissa informed that a lot of projects are being established in the State of Orissa.
On technology upgradation issues, the members of the Sub-Group mentioned that cost of technology is very high for MSEs and the Government should facilitate, incentivise and support the technology transfer at individual as well as collective levels.
Linkages with Research & Development Institutes, rewarding innovation and new technology, creation of technology development fund etc. were the other suggestions for technology upgradation of SMEs. The cluster approach to offset the higher cost of technology upgradation may be one of the visible options.
The issues related to skill upgradation were also discussed and it was suggested that the existing mechanism of providing training through industrial training institutes, polytechnics needs to be strengthened. Vocational training as per the requirements of the industry will be supported.
The guidelines of micro and small enterprises cluster development programme (MSE-CDP) are under revision. Provision for power generation by non-conventional energy, infrastructure development, technology upgradation, skill upgradation have been included in the proposed guidelines. The support will be provided to create infrastructural facilities in new industrial estates and to upgrade infrastructure in existing industrial clusters.
The recommendations of the Sub-Group shall be submitted to the PMO after its finalization.

A PROPOSAL FROM AN WOULD BE SME
ANIRBAN BHATTACHARYA | Thu Oct 22 11:26:08 2009
Dear Sir
It is an undebatable fact that
Eastern India doesnot have any
technical institute dedicated to
the FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY,while the
most reputed brands are from
this part of the country and only a few knows that there are degrees like
BTECH/MTECH in FOOTWEAR TECHNOLOGY,CERTIFICATIONS in machine operations or PROCESS KNOWHOW.
All they know is about 'Leather Technology'
to associate or relate to THE MUCH LESS UTTERED WORDS LIKE FOOTWEAR TECHNOLOGY OR SHOE ENGINEERING in this part of the country.We REALLY expect something from the PMO.
THANKING YOU,REGARDS
ANIRBAN BHATTACHARYA
