Small
Scale-Industries
constitute a vital sector in India?s economy. Small Scale units comprise 75% of
the registered factories accounting for nearly 30% of employment and
contributing over 40% of industrial production. The respective figures will be
even more, if unregistered units are taken into account. Its total contribution
to GNP is nearly 13%, which is more than the heavy industries sector.
Production of electronics, which is regarded as an index of national economic
growth, is heavily concentrated in the small sector. What is of greater
significance is that the large industries are heavily dependent on the small
units for ancilliaries. In some cases finished products on the large scale
sector consist of as high a proportion as 80% from the small sector.
The
1978 National small Industries Fair organised by the Trade Fair
Authority of India is the national projection of this vital sector covering the
entire gamut of products from sophisticated electronics and modern engineering
items to traditional handicrafts and products of the cottage and tiny units
including village industries. The Fair is symbolic of Gandhiji’s “Back to the
village” movement and has been organised in accordance with the socio-economic
objectives and priorities of the Government.
The
theme of this Fair is
”Small Industry serves the People”. The display will provide a close view
of the different facts of small industry sector, both in State pavilion
presenting a composite show. An exclusive export potential of the small and
cottage industries.
