Laghu Udyog or MSEs : The Scene

Worldwide , micro and small enterprises (MSEs) have been accepted as the engine of economic growth and for promoting equitable development. MSEs constitute over 95% of total enterprises in most of the economies and are credited with generating the highest rates of employment growth and account for a major share of industrial production and exports. It contributes more than 45% of total manufacturing production and 40% of exports, while employing 10 crores people, it suits the Indian conditions in the following manner:

It is only source which has the potential to absorb about 10 million new youths which enter the workforce every year, as there are hardly any job opportunities in Government sector; the agriculture sector is already super saturated; and the large / corporate sector has had less employment growth in last 2 decades.
For country like India which has very scarce capital, promoting MSE is essential as only one tenth of capital investment is required to generate one employment in MSE sector as compared to investment required per capita employment in large sector.
It mitigates the problem of migration to cities and slum dwellings in urban areas.
It also ensure inclusive growth.

The Government policies / programs could be specifically directed to take care of three phases of Micro and Small Enterprises, namely:

New Enterprises
Existing or running enterprises
Sick or in danger of getting sick enterprises.
