Promote balanced business growth
The National Small Industry Day is observed Every year on August 30. A Small Scale Industry Convention for Entrepreneurs was held in New Delhi on August 30, 2001, and a comprehensive policy package for SMEs was launched. The meeting day was chosen to be observed as National Small Industry Day. India’s MSMEs which account for more than 6.3 crore businesses, generate 45% of all exports. Nearly 40% of all goods and services produced in India are from small-scale industries. Single ownership, owner-centric management control, limited resources and use of locally available resources are some of the essential characteristics of SMEs. Most small and ordinary firms produce artistic and traditional benefits, and frequently, these activities depend on labour-intensive technology.
Small and medium-scale industries are the soul of the country. A large labour force works in this sector. Very diversified sectors and spread across the country. The cultural differences and ensuring the absorption into the local communities are challenges. Over time, some places emerged as leaders in a particular domain. For many artisans and makers of artistic products, protecting them and ensuring their survival is challenging for governments. Emerging technologies, less reliant on the labour force, and automation is throwing different challenges. Cheaper imports make many small-scale entrepreneurs end up in massive losses and wind up their establishments, leaving many jobless. Government should ensure the retraining and reorientation of the workforce and entrepreneurs to be taken up.

The day was chosen to be observed as National Small Industry Day. The main objective of National Small Industry Day is to promote small businesses across the nation and to offer job opportunities to the unemployed. The National Small Industry Day is devoted to supporting and promoting small industries in India. The purpose of the observation is to increase the possibilities for the overall growth of small industries and provide support to small firms in India. It is an annual celebration that lets us recognise the importance of small enterprises in our society.
The Indian economy is making rapid strides, small-scale industries play a significant role, and its expansion depends greatly on small-scale sectors and firms. India’s MSMEs which account for more than 6.3 crore businesses, generate 45% of all exports. Nearly 40% of all goods and services produced in India are from small-scale industries. Single ownership, owner-centric management control, limited resources and use of locally available resources are some of the essential characteristics of SMEs. Most small and ordinary firms produce artistic and traditional benefits, and frequently, these activities depend on labour-intensive technology. Making the best use of physical resources is the primary goal of small enterprises.
The nature of the small-scale industry is very diverse. More than 7500 products are manufactured. Paper, Food, Electrical, Machinery, Wood, Cotton fabrics, Beverages, Tobacco, Leather, Rubber, Plastic, and many more are the areas where SMEs contribute significantly. To realise Aatmanirbhar Bharat government has come out with various schemes, including the creation of the Self-Reliant India Fund, to facilitate equity financing in the MSME sector and help grow and expand MSMEs in India. The Ministry of MSME established 102 Enterprise Development Centers across India. These provide an opportunity for networking and providing professional mentorship and support.
