Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are businesses that maintain revenues, assets or a number of employees below a certain limit. They are essentially defined by the size of their organization, and sometimes the industry they belong to is considered as well.
Though small in size, MSMEs play a crucial role in the development of the economy. They are much larger in number than large firms, employ vast numbers of people and are generally entrepreneurial in nature, helping to boost innovation.
MSMEs in India have emerged as a strong and dynamic economic sector over the last couple of decades. Due to lower capital investments, they are setup in rural or backwards, and this promotes industrialization of non-urban India, whilst providing employment opportunities to people in such areas.
Government of India was notified by its MSMED Act in 2006 to address policy issues affecting MSMEs. The Act addresses the coverage and investment ceiling of this sector, and also seeks to facilitate the development of these enterprises with support to enhance their competitiveness.
As small-scale industries develop and grow in number, they contribute towards the growth of the economy considerably. Moreover, as MSMEs grow, organizations look for international collaborations and international trade, thereby diminishing the geographical boundaries of trade. Expanding to international markets helps MSMEs increase their scale of production and, consequently, their revenue.
Growing an MSME business is challenging in the face of intense competition prevalent in the market. To survive this competition MSMEs need to ensure that their products meet international quality standards so that they can be easily marketed. That is why MSMEs and small-scale industries seek ISO certifications for standardizing their products.
The ISO Certification Reimbursement Scheme helps SMEs acquire ISO 9001, ISO 14001, HACCP certification with financial aid. The scheme is run by the Development Commissioner of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The scheme is administered by the Development Commissioner of Small-Scale Industries (SSI), Ministry of SSI and the Government of India. Here is the scheme offers:
