3. SME CORNER
SMEs are widely regarded as the engine of the Indian Economy. SMEs contribute significantly to industrial,
economic, technological and regional development in all developed & developing economies. However, SMEs
have been exposed to intense competition due to increasing globalization. This has made survival and
growth of this sector difficult.

Too much time required to be spent with

existence of these units. This leads to:
Challenges faced by the SME units o Lack of available funds (perpetually
caught up in this vicious cycle)
Ø adequate Management training and
Lack of o Inability to pay competitive wages /

o Lack of Business & Financial Registrations).

Need
o Lack of Forward planning resulting in Promoters
With the increasing competition, globalization and the uncertainty due to the global downturn, SMEs will
have to continuously incorporate the latest technology into their production processes as well as in their
marketing and management functions, to cut costs gain efficiency and consistency. This will help them
become successful, and contribute to the Indian economy in the long run.
Overall, the small industry sector has performed well and has enabled the country to achieve considerable
industrial growth and diversification.
