2. Industrial Scenario of Kerala

A 600 Km long coastline stretching across 11 out of its fourteen districts, emerald backwaters,

exotic wild life, beautiful waterfalls, historic monuments and misty hill stations has made Kerala one of

the most acclaimed States in the world. The centuries-old holistic medicine of Ayurveda, the unique

boat races that is the largest team sport in the world, the ride through the winding waterways in a cosy

houseboat or the colourful and exotic festivals, Kerala offers a multitude of experience. But apart from

tourism hardly any industry is faring well in the state.

A relatively low growth of the manufacturing industry, when the general economy is growing

remarkably well, appears like a conundrum to the policy makers .It is argued that inadequate flow of

investment has constrained the pace of modernisation of old units and establishment of new units in

Kerala. What is being stressed is the need to adopt state-of-art technologies for industries to compete in

a globalised market for survival. Coupled with a lacklustre attitude in its own policies for attracting

private investment makes Kerala a less investor friendly location for the manufacturing sector.The state

is in need of knowledge-based and service industries including software firms to fully utilise the skilled

manpower and to accelerate economic growth.

While looking at the lack of industrial progress of the state despite social development, three

major factors come as big hurdles - limited land, environment consciousness, a strong labour

movement.

State government has kicked off a "Make in Kerala" initiative to promote growth and

development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in a big way. The MSME scheme would

cover electronic systems and machinery, light engineering, rubber products, food processing, spices,

handloom, textile, Ayurveda, showcasing Kerala brands, tech upgrades, holding entrepreneur meets and

encourage women to take up self-employment.

A sum of Rs 15 crore has been set apart for the 'Make in Kerala' scheme to boost MSME units.

Kerala must encourage start-ups and MSME units to turn around the diminishing trend in its exports,

according to the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO). The investment in the sector during

the period from 2011-2012 to 2014-15 has increased on an average by 9.73%. The investment had

shown a steady upward trend during the period. The value of production and employment has

remained more or less constant apart from a peak in 2013-14.

The rate of growth of MSME units has been increasing though at a declining rate from 2011-12

to 2014-15.However for the year 2015-16 from April-September 2015 there has been a growth rate of

10.95% that is from 6944 as on September 2014 to 7705 as on September 2015.

MSME-Development Institute is playing its important role of providing assistance to the

prospective and exiting entrepreneurs in State through its various awareness programmes and various

schemes of Office of DC-MSME and thus to a boost to the State’s GDP.

3. Specialized Programmes 2016-17

During the year 2016-17 the MSME-Development Institute undertook a number of programs for

the benefit of MSME sector. Among that National/State Vendor Development Programmes and activities

under the NMCP schemes are worth mentioning. This section explains about the special programmes

conducted by MSME-DI during the year 2016-17.



3.1 Vender Development Programmes

For facilitating MSMEs to secure orders of large scale Public Sector undertakings and also to

help PSUs to identify suitable Vendors from MSMEs, MSME-DI, Thrissur organized National/ State Level

Vendor Development Programmes at various parts of Kerala. This Institute organized three National

Level Vendor Development Programmes and 5 State Level Vendor Development Programme during

2016-17. These programmes were effectively utilized to popularize Public Procurement Policy. The

details of the programmes are tabulated below:

3.1.1. National Level Vendor Development Programme (NLVDP)

The Programme is intended to provide a platform to MSMEs to expand their market and

establish linkage with the large scale units and Public Sector Undertakings for business transactions.

The Industrial Meet-cum-Exhibition organized provide an opportunity to both the MSMEs and Large

scale units and public sector undertakings to exhibit their capabilities by displaying their products/

services and to interact with each other to know their requirements. The programme also aims to

create awareness among MSMEs about the need of adopting best business practices such as using

design as a tool for value addition. The programme will help to identify the large units and PSUs to

identify potential new vendors in MSEs and this in turn would help to widen the market network of

MSEs.

The Government of India has come out with Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small

Enterprises (MSEs), 2012 which envisages the Central Government Ministries, Departments and Public

Sector Undertakings to procure minimum of 20 per cent of their annual procurement of goods or

services from Micro and Small Enterprises. The policy aims that every Central Ministry or Department

or Public Sector Undertaking shall set an Annual goal of procurement from Micro and Small Enterprises

from the financial year 2012-13 and onwards, with the objective of achieving an overall Procurement of

a minimum of 20 per cent of total annual purchases of products and services from Micro and Small

Enterprises in a period of three years i.e. from 1st April 2015, overall procurement goal of minimum of

20 per cent shall be made mandatory. Therefore, the programme also intends to create awareness on

Public Procurement Policy and help MSMEs to ensure flow of supply to Large PSUs/Govt. Departments.

During the year 2016-17, the Institute was assigned with the target of 3 NLVDPs and the

institute achieved 100 per cent success in the attaining the target. The details of the three NLVDPs

conducted during the financial year are tabulated as follows:

3.2. Implementation of National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme (NMCP)

Government of India has launched the NMCP scheme to improve the manufacturing

competitiveness of MSMEs. The programmes of implementing various schemes under the NMCP are

given below:

Addressing the nation on India's 68th Independence Day, Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra

Modi urged the industry, especially the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of India, to

manufacture goods in the country with "zero defects" and to ensure that the goods have "zero effect" on

the environment. Ensuring competitiveness of India's MSME is critical as it will contribute to the overall

growth of the manufacturing sector and the country's economy. International companies competing in

global markets focus on their competitive strengths of costs acceptable to the market, technology,

innovation, service delivery, lean manufacturing, and defect free products for Zero Defect and Zero

Effect (ZED). ZED has presented a model where the concept of quality has a holistic change from a tool

for compliance to a source of competitiveness. Subsidy for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises will be

80%, 60% and 50% respectively. However, preference will be given to small enterprises to enable them

to grow bigger because of competition and to get reasonable economy of scale. There will be special

emphasis on SC/ST entrepreneurs.

This Institute was allotted with four awareness programmes on ZED Certification Scheme

during the year 2016-17. The following table shows the targets allotted and achievement under

The basic rationale of the Government support to MSMEs for undertaking lean manufacturing (LM) is to enhance their productivity and competitiveness by reduction of wastages in manufacturing processes, inventory management, space management, energy consumption, etc. The LM techniques also result in reduction in rejection, standardization of processes, better layout of machines resulting in reduced transportation of products during manufacturing, etc. The implementation of LM techniques leads to cost reduction for MSMEs.
