CHAPTER-II

INTRODUCTION

2.1 Geography

Tamil Nadu is the southern-most state of India. It is located in the Indian

peninsula between the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Indian Ocean in the

south and the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea on the west. It is situated

between Latitude 8° 5' N and 13° 35' N and between Longitudes 76° 15' E

and 80° 20'E. It‟s the 11th largest state in India with an area of 1,30,058

sq.km. The bordering states are Kerala to the west, Karnataka to the north-

west and Andhra Pradesh to the north. To the east is the Bay of Bengal and

the state encircles the union territory of Puducherry. The southernmost tip

of the Indian Peninsula is Kanyakumari which is the meeting point of the

Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean. The western,

southern and the north western parts are hilly and rich in vegetation. The

Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats meet at the Nilgiri hills. The Western

Ghats traverse the entire western border with Kerala, effectively blocking

much of the rain bearing clouds of the south west monsoon from entering

the state. The eastern parts are fertile coastal plains and the northern parts

are a mix of hills and plains. The central and the south central regions are

arid plains and receive less rainfall than the other regions.

Tamil is the State language and Chennai is the capital city of Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu has a coastline of about 1,076 kilometres (700 mi) which is the

country‟s second longest coastline. Tamil Nadu falls mostly in a region of low

seismic hazard with the exception of the western border areas that lie in a

low to moderate hazard zone.

Tamil Nadu has historically been an agricultural state, while its advances in

other fields launched the State into competition with other areas.

Agriculture is heavily dependent on the river water and monsoon rains. The

perennial rivers are Palar, Cheyyar, Ponnaiyar, Kaveri, Meyar, Bhavani,

Amaravati, Vaigai, Chittar and Tamaraparani. Non-perennial rivers include

the Vellar, Noyyal, Suruli, Siruvani, Gundar, Vaipar, Valparai and Varshali.

Tamil Nadu is also the leading producer of kambu, corn, rye, groundnut, oil

seeds and sugarcane in India. At present, Tamil Nadu is India's second

biggest producer of rice. Namakkal district in Tamil Nadu is a major poultry

hub and Erode is one of the important turmeric production centre in India.

with Tirupur for Textiles.

The Major Plantation crops cultivated in the state are tea, coffee, cardamom

and rubber. Major forest produces are timber, sandalwood, pulp wood and

fuel wood. Tamil Nadu occupies a premier position in the production and

extensive application of bio-fertilizers. Efforts are on to improve farming

technologies so as to increase yields in the low rainfall areas of the State.

Tamil Nadu is one of India‟s most progressive States and is among the top

three States on several economic and social indicators. Tamil Nadu with a

geographical area of 1,30,058 sq km is the eleventh largest State in the

country and occupies 4 per cent of the total area. The State has been divided

into seven agro climatic zones. Tamil Nadu consists of 33 districts, 385

blocks and 16682 revenue villages. Tamil Nadu is the sixth most populated

State with a density of 555 persons per sq. km as compared to the national

average of 382.

2.2 Demographic Information

Tamil Nadu state is home for about 7.2 Crore population with the sex ratio

of 996 females (For 1000 males) as per 2011 census. Among the total

population, the literates are 5.1 Crore people, Scheduled Castes population

is 1.4 Crore and Scheduled Tribe population is about 79 lakhs. The birth

rate is 15.2 (per 1000) and death rate is 6.7 (per 1000) for the year 2015.

The Infant Mortality rate for Tamil Nadu State is reported to be 19 (per 1000

live births). Tamil Nadu State has about 38 lakh main cultivators among

which 25 lakh cultivators are male cultivators. As per 2011 census, a large

chunk of population was found to be main agricultural labourers in the

State.

2.3 Climate

Tamil Nadu is heavily dependent on monsoon rains, and thereby is prone to

droughts when the monsoons fail. The climate of the state ranges from dry

sub-humid to semi-arid. The state has distinct periods of rainfall, which are

the advancing monsoon period, South-west monsoon (from June to

September) with strong southwest winds, the North-east monsoon (from

October to December), with dominant northeast winds, and the Dry season

(from January to May). The normal annual rainfall of the state is about 945

mm (37.2 in) of which 48% is through the North East monsoon, and 32%

through the South West monsoon. Tamil Nadu is divided into seven agro-

climatic zones: north east, north west, west, southern, high rainfall, high

altitude hilly, and Kaveri Delta (the most fertile agricultural zone). The

average temperature for most parts of the state range between 280 C and 400

C in the summer season and between 180 C and 260 C in the short-lived


Page 17


winter seasons. In the more hilly terrain, the maximum temperature may be

as low as 260 C and the minimum temperature may go down to 30 C.

2.4 Economic Scenario

The State contributes about 9 per cent to India‟s Net Domestic Product,

making it the significant contributor to the Indian economy. Net State

Domestic Product at Current Prices for the year 2016–17 is Rs. 11,64,311 cr

and the growth rate of Net State Domestic Product at Current prices for the

year 2016-17 is 12.2 percent as compared to all india NDP growth rate of

11.1 percent. (Economic Survey, 2017-18)

Agriculture continues to be the backbone of the State economy. As per the

Agricultural census of 2015-16, the number of operational landholders in

the State is 79.38 lakh, operating operational area of 59.70 lakh hectares.

Small and Marginal farmers are 11.19 lakhs and 62.24 lakhs constituting

14.10 per cent and 78.41 per cent respectively. The average size of

operational landholding is 0.75 ha against the National average of 1.08 ha.

Tamil Nadu State is one of the biggest contributors of agricultural and rural

economy in terms of agricultural production and employment. Net Area

Sown in Tamil Nadu is about 12.4 lakh ha.

It is also an important hub for manufacturing industries, especially

automotive, textiles and software.

Tamil Nadu accounts for the largest number of registered (11.7 per cent)

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the country with 7.7 lakh

MSMEs, producing over 6,000 varieties of products.

As per the Annual Employment-Unemployment Survey conducted by Labour

Bureau, the Worker Population Ratio (WPR) for Tamil Nadu State is 56.3

percent as compared to All India average of 50.5 percent for the year 2015-

16.

2.5 Infrastructure

Tamil Nadu State is one of the most urbanized state in India and has well

developed infrastructural facilities such as roads, ports, industrial parks,

airports, etc. The State constitutes 15 % of major ports capacity with 4

larger ports and it is the only State with four international airports and

Strong road network of more than 200,000 km. Tamil Nadu State is the

second in power generation capacity in India with an installed capacity of

over 20000 MW and leader in renewable energy with an installed capacity of

over 8000 MW.


Page 18


Besides Chennai, which is a designated metropolitan city; Trichy, Madurai,

Coimbatore, Salem and Tirunelveli are large cities. The urban agglomeration

in Chennai (Chennai Metropolitan Area) houses a population of about 8.7

million. Going forward, 70% of the population is expected to be in urban

regions, hence forming a big concentrated opportunity for investment,

commerce and development. The GoTN has initiated the ambitious Chennai

Metro Rail project with financial assistance from JICA, which is underway at

a cost of Rs14,600 Crore (USD 2.4 Billion) for its first phase. Chennai is

implementing a monorail network of more than 100 km. The State also has

established about 113 industrial estates which are operated by TANSIDCO

in 31 different Districts of Tamil Nadu .

2.6 Culture and Tradition

Tamil Nadu has a legacy of ancient tradition and rich cultural heritage.

Dance forms like Bharathanatyam and various forms of music, including

carnatic music, have flourished here for centuries. At the Natyanjali Dance

Festival, the temple city of Chidambaram pays special tribute to Lord

Nataraja the 'Cosmic Dancer'. The awe-inspiring sculptures at the Shore

Temple in Mahabalipuram and other similar art forms and sculptors found

in the state date as far back as the 7th century AD famous temples, which

still stand in all their pristine glory in several parts of this land, speak for

themselves of the rich heritage of the Tamil people. Handicrafts include the

most intricately carved designs in wood, stone and metal. The exquisitely

carved Bronze and Tanjore plates deserve special mention here.

2.7 Festivals

Pongal is the harvest festival celebrated by the farmers in January to

worship the sun, the earth and the cattle as thanks giving for a bounteous

harvest. Pongal festival is followed by the Jallikattu-Bull fight, in some parts

of southern Tamil Nadu. Alanganallur in Tamil Nadu is internationally

famous for Jallikattu - Bull fight. Chithirai festival, Madurai brings a

spectacular re-enactment of the marriage of the Pandiyan princess

Meenakshi to Lord Sundareswarar. Adipperukku is a festival celebrated on

the 18th day of Tamil month, Adi, on the banks of rivers. It marks the

commencement of new farming operations. Dance Festival, Mamallapuram,

which is set before an open air stage, created 13 centuries ago the incredible

monolithic rock sculptures of the Pallavas, next to the sea in this ancient

city of Mamallapuram. Bharatha Natyam, Kuchipudi, Kathakali, and Odissi

are some dance forms presented by the very best exponents of the art


Page 19


besides folk dances. At the Natyanjali Dance Festival, the temple city of

Chidambaram pays special tribute to Lord Nataraja the 'Cosmic Dancer'.

Mahamagam Festival is a holy festival that brings pilgrims to Kumbakonam

once in 12 years - the temple city that gets its name from Kumbha - the

divine pot. Kanthuri Festival is a truly secular festival, where devotees flock

to the shrine of saint Quadirwali. The Velankanni festival attracts

thousands, clad in orange robes to the sacred spot where the ship landed.

Equally famous are the Virgin Mary's miraculous healing powers, earning for

the church the name 'Lourdes of the East'.

The Navarathiri Festival, literally means the festival of 'nine nights', taking

unique and different forms in different states of India, all to propitiate the

goddess Sakthi, for power, wealth and knowledge. Rows of glittering earthen

lamps outside every home and joyous burst of fire crackers mark Tamil

Nadu's Festival of lights, Karthigai Deepam.

CHPATER-III

AVALIABLITY OF RESOURCES IN TAMIL NADU

3.1 Natural Resources

Tamil Nadu, the Southernmost

State of India, is one of India‟s

most progressive States and is

among the top three States on

several economic and social

indicators. Tamil Nadu with a

geographical area of 1 30,058 sq

km is the eleventh largest State in

the country and occupies 4 per

cent of the total area. The State

has been divided into seven agro

climatic zones. Tamil Nadu

consists of 33 districts, 385 blocks

and 16682 revenue villages.

Tamil Nadu is the sixth most populated State with a density of 555 persons

per sq. km (national average of 382). As per the Agricultural census of 2015-

16, the number of operational landholders in the State is 79.38 lakh,

operating operational area of 59.70 lakh hectares. Small and Marginal

farmers are 11.19 Lakhs and 62.24 Lakhs constituting 14.10 per cent and

78.41 per cent respectively. The average size of operational landholding is

0.75 ha against the National average of 1.08 ha. The State contributes 11.60

per cent to India‟s GDP, making it the second largest contributor to India‟s

GDP. Gross State Domestic Product at Constant Prices for the year 2016–17

is Rs. 14,45,227 cr and the per capita income at current price is Rs.

1,53,263. Agriculture continues to be the backbone of the State economy. It

is an important hub for manufacturing industries, especially automotive,

textiles and software. This chapter covers briefly about the availability of

natural and other resources in the State of Tamil Nadu.

3.1.1 Land Resources

Tamil Nadu has about 5.96 percent of the Nation‟s population, occupies 4

percent of the land area and has 3 percent of the water resources of the

Nation. The demographic changes, economic growth and social development

assisted by welfare measures would in the coming decades, exert strong and

competing demands on the finite natural resources of the states, such as

land, water, raw-materials, etc. In Tamil Nadu, the per capita availability of


Page 21


land is only 0.18 ha while the per capita net sown area is only 0.07 ha. Even

though the share of agricultural sector in the State Domestic Product of

Tamil Nadu has declined from about 52 percent to 18 percent between

1960-61 and 2007-08, and further to 8.2 percent during 2010-11,

agriculture continues to be a major source of livelihood for the rural people.

Agriculture still employs about 40 percent of the workforce in the State. As a

basic input for agriculture, land occupies a predominant position among all

the resources required for a modern economy.

Competition between agricultural and non-agricultural sectors for land is

intensifying due to the increasing pressure on land for food production,

housing and industrial expansion. Between 1960-61 and 2009-10 the total

cultivated area in Tamil Nadu decreased from 7.32 million ha to 5.57 million

ha and the net sown area has decreased from about 6 million ha to 4.90

million ha during the same period. However, this reduction in cropped area

has been compensated by the increase in productivity of crops so that higher

production has been possible.

3.1.2 Water Resources

Water is the elixir of life, a precious

gift of nature

to mankind & millions of other

species living on the earth and an

important source for industrial

development. Tamil Nadu

constitutes 4 percent of India‟s land

area and is inhabited by 6 percent of

India‟s population, and has only 2.5

percent of India‟s water resources.

More than 95 percent of the surface

water and 80 percent of the ground

water have already been put into

use. Major uses of water include

human/animal consumption,

irrigation and industrial use.

Tamil Nadu is one of the most water stressed States having per capita

availability of 900 cubic meter water a year, compared to national average of

2,200 cubic meters. Tamil Nadu has about 6 percent of India‟s population,

whereas its water potential is only 3 percent of what is available in the

country. The demand for water in Tamil Nadu is increasing at a fast rate

both due to increasing population and also due to larger per capita needs

triggered by economic growth. Agriculture is the largest consumer of water


Page 22


in the State using around 75 per cent of the State‟s water resources. The

Tamil Nadu State is heavily dependent on monsoon rains. The annual

average rain fall is around 930 mm (47 percent during the north east

monsoon, 35 percent during the south west monsoon, 14 percent in the

summer and 4 percent in the winter).

Actual rainfall for the year 2010-11 is 1165.10 mm, out of which 48 percent

is through the north east monsoon, 32 percent is through the south west

monsoon and the remaining 20 percent is through summer and winter

rainfall. Since the State is entirely dependent on rains for recharging its

water resources, monsoon failures lead to acute water scarcity and severe

droughts.

3.1.3 Mineral Resources of Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is the leading holder of country's

resources of vermiculite, magnetite, dunite,

rutile, garnet, molybdenum and ilmenite. The

State accounts for the country's 81% lignite,

75% vermiculite, 69% dunite, 59% garnet,

52% molybdenum and 30% titanium

minerals resources. Important minerals that

are found to occur in the State are as

follows:

3.2 Energy Sector

Power sector is the most important

sector among various infrastructure

sectors in the country. Energy

security and environmental

Sustainability are vital to our

future. Energy security is very

important for economic growth.

Renewable energy sources are

essential in view of the depleting

nature of conventional

energy resources. Electricity is a

critical infrastructure for

sustainable growth of economy.

Power development is an important input for the States Industrial,

Commercial and Socio economic growth. For this, the availability of

affordable, reliable and quality power is necessary. Therefore, adequate

provision has to be made for augmenting power supply to bridge the gap

between demand and supply as well as to meet the increasing future

demand. Keeping this in view, Government is giving utmost importance to

power sector in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution

Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) is responsible for power generation and

distribution and Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation Limited

(TANTRANSCO) is responsible for transmission of power. Further, the

electricity network has been extended to all villages and towns throughout

the State and all the villages in the State are 100% electrified.

3.2.1 Renewable Energy Sources

The State is blessed with various forms of renewable energy sources.

The environment-friendly renewable energy sources are perennial in nature,

available locally and quite suitable for decentralized applications. The

important renewable energy sources are as follows:

o Wind Energy (including offshore wind)

o Solar Energy

o Biomass and other forms of bio energy

o Small Hydro

o Tidal Energy

o Ocean Thermal Energy


Page 25


Among the above mentioned sources, the first three renewable energy

sources, viz., wind, solar and bio energy are being harnessed in a big way in

India and also in Tamil Nadu. With a view to develop and propagate the non-

conventional sources of energy, The Tamil Nadu Energy Development

Agency (TEDA) was formed and it also acts as nodal agency to the Ministry

of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India to implement

centrally funded and sponsored schemes in the state.

3.3 Agriculture

Agriculture sector in Tamil Nadu is undergoing perceptible changes as it gets

transformed from a traditional to modern economy which is an important

step towards industrial development.

Tamil Nadu has seven distinct agro- climatic zones based on rainfall, soil

characteristics, irrigation potential and cropping pattern. In the State, paddy

is cultivated in about 17.75 L.Ha (31%), millets in 6.99 L.Ha (12%), pulses in

6.34 L.Ha (11%), oilseeds in 4.38 L.Ha (8%), sugarcane in 3.24 L.Ha (6%),

cotton in 1.29 L.Ha (2%), coconut in 4.29 L.Ha (8%) and Horticultural crops

in 12.22 L.Ha (22%).

3.4 Animal Husbandry

Animal husbandry sector plays a vital role in sustaining rural livelihoods

and improving the economy of rural population. Livestock sector provides

productive employment especially self employment to a majority of rural

households besides providing nutritional foods like milk, meat and eggs. The

contribution of livestock sector to the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP)

is 5.47% and that to the Agriculture and allied activities is 45.62%. During

2006-2007 the gross value of output of livestock which was Rs.11535.23

crore in the state increased to Rs.64,166.34 crore during 2016-17. The

estimated milk production which was 54.74 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT)

during 2005-06 in Tamil Nadu increased to 77.42 LMT during 2017-18. The

estimated egg production in Tamil Nadu which was 62,225 Lakh numbers

during 2005-06 has increased to 174161 Lakh numbers during 2017-18

and the estimated meat production including poultry which was 11,8616 MT

during 2005-06 increased to 603352 MT during 2017-18. The per capita

availability of milk per day increased from 231gm to 266 gm and the per

capita availability of eggs per annum has increased from 97 numbers in

2005-06 to 220 numbers in 2016-17.

3.5 Dairy Development

India surpassed the United States in 1998 to become the largest single milk

producing country in the world. In 2005, Indian milk production represented

14.6 percent of world milk production, exceeding the combined production

of the top five dairy countries in the EU. Milk production has grown steadily

and rapidly over the last 25 years, from 50 million MT in 1979-80 to 92

million MT in 2004-05. Growth in milk production has exceeded the growth

in India's population, elevating per capita milk availability over the same

period from 75 grams/day to more than 225 grams/day. India produced

155.491 Million Tons (4144 lakh litres per day) of milk in 2015-16, which is

18.5% of the world production.

Tamil Nadu ranks among the top ten milk producing States of the country

with a daily production of 193 lakh litres per day and fourth among the Co-

operatives in India with a daily procurement of 28.50 lakh litres per day

(LLPD).

3.6 Fisheries

The Fisheries sector in Tamil Nadu plays a crucial role in the overall

economic development of the State. The rich fish biodiversity of the State

offers good scope for fisheries development. The Fisheries sector, which

started only as a subsistence livelihood activity during the early plan period

is now emerging as a vital sector, contributing to employment generation,

food security and foreign exchange earnings significantly.


Page 27


The Fisheries sector of Tamil Nadu is broadly categorized as Marine, Inland

and Brackish water. The vast fishery resources of both marine and inland

waters have not yet been fully tapped.

3.7 Labour Resource:

3.7.1 Labour Force in Tamil Nadu (as per 2011 Census)

The State‟s total population grew from 62.41 million in 2001 to 72.15 million

in 2011, the decadal growth being 11.6 percent. Between these two

Censuses, the total number of workers in the State increased by 1.18

percent annually from 27.88 million to 32.88 million. Share of the total

members of workers in total labour force, however, had witnessed a decline

from 69.70 percent to 68.84 percent, indicating that there was a reduction

in the employment absorptive capacity of the economy or there was a

preference to pursue higher education or both. As a result, the proportion of

persons who are not working in the State increased from 30.30 percent to

31.16 percent. All the things considered, the rate of growth of labour force

exceeds the rate of growth of work force besides the absolute numbers.

3.7.2 Work Participation Rate

The working population in Tamil Nadu increased from 27.88 million in 2001

Census to 32.88 million in 2011 Census witnessing an annual compound

growth rate of 1.18 percent. The Work Participation Rate (WPR) i.e., the

proportion of workers to total population in Tamil Nadu edged up from 44.7

percent in 2001 to 45.6 percent in 2011. The ratio at the All India level

during the corresponding period was lower at 39.1 percent and 39.8 percent

respectively. Across the districts, the work participation rate was found to be

the lowest at 36.3 percent in Kanyakumari despite the fact that the district

had the highest literacy level. It was the highest at 53.1 percent in Erode as

per 2011 Census.

This was the case irrespective of rural and urban segments. The Work

Participation Rate rural areas were higher than that of urban areas.

However, with regard to the pace of increase, it was greater in urban than in

rural areas. The work participation rate in rural Tamil Nadu marginally

increased from 50.3 percent in 2001 to a share of 50.7 percent in 2011,

whereas it rose from 37.5 percent to 40.2 percent in urban respectively.

3.7.3 Skilled Manpower in the Identified Industrial Clusters in

Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is India‟s most urbanized state. A number of industrial clusters

have emerged in the state. Sriperumbudur is one of India‟s largest

electronics clusters while Chennai is the largest auto components hub in

India. Vellore has a high presence of leather industries. Tiruppur houses a

large textile cluster. Heavy industries have emerged in districts such as

Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli and Salem. Agriculture also contributes to the

state GDP with Tamil Nadu being a large producer of rice, mango, banana,

tapioca and natural rubber. This has driven the growth of the food

processing industry, particularly along the Madurai-Dindigul belt. Between

2004- 05 and 2011-12, Tamil Nadu‟s GSDP has grown at a Compounded

Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.3%. Engineering goods and electronic

goods are the state‟s two largest exports; together, they accounted for nearly

50% of all exports in 2011-12.

3.8 Availability of Credit Facilities

The banking network in the State, as on 31 March 2018, comprised 21

Public Sector Banks, 20 Private Sector Banks & 12 Foreign Banks with a

total network of 9994 branches, 2 RRBs with 618 branches, Tamil Nadu

State Apex Cooperative Bank (TNStCB) with 23 affiliated District Central

Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) and TNSCARDB. (Source: SLBC)

The Primary Urban Cooperative Banks, Non-banking financial companies

and the latest entrants‟ viz., Payment Banks and Small Finance Banks also

cater to the credit needs and infrastructure development, thus aiding in

boosting the State‟s economy. Other Financial Intermediaries in the form of

Primary Agriculture Cooperative Societies (PACS), Marketing Societies and

Business Correspondents also play an important role in reaching out to the

otherwise inaccessible hamlets cater to the increasing financial needs of the

population. There are 4,474 PACS in the State affiliated to 22 DCCBs with a

membership of 1.37 cr engaged in disbursement of credit for agricultural

activities.

Of the 11,531 branches in the State, 3187 branches are located in rural

areas catering to the rural population of 3,72,29,590. The population per

rural branch is thus 11,682 or 8.6 branches per 1 lakh rural population

which is fairly better as against the all India average of 7.8 branches per 1

lakh rural population (or population per rural branch is around

12,800).Indian Overseas Bank, with a branch network of 1,135 branches is

the Convener of State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC), which acts as a

consultative body to discuss issues and suggest measures / solutions for

effective banking implementation. SLBC is assisted by 32 Lead District

Managers functioning at the district level.

CHAPTER-IV

INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES IN TAMIL NADU STATE

4.0 INTRODUCTION

Today, Tamil Nadu has emerged as the Second largest state economy

following Maharashtra which has a much larger area and population. Tamil

Nadu is ranked first among Indian states in terms of exporting and

operational SEZs. During the year 2015-16, exports from SEZs in Tamil

Nadu was Rs.82, 717 crore.

To promote further investment and facilitate infrastructure projects on

Public Private Partnership(PPP) mode, Government of Tamil Nadu has

already enacted Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act 2012 and

constituted the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Board accordingly.

Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures needed for

the operation of a society or enterprise, or the services and facilities

necessary for an economy to function. It can be generally defined as the set

of interconnected structural elements that provide the frame work

supporting an entire structure of development. It is an important term for

judging a country or region's development.

The term typically refers to the technical structures that support a society,

such as roads, bridges, water supply, sewers, electrical grids,

telecommunications, and so forth, and can be defined as "the physical

components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services


Page 30


essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions." The

features of infrastructural facilities available in the State are given below.

Most urbanized state in India with more than 48.5% of the population

living in urbanized locality.

100% of the National Highway network of

Tamil Nadu is at least 2 lane capacity with

more than 50% of the roads with multi-

lane (4 or more lanes) capacity in

comparison to the national average of 74%

of the National Highway network with at

least double lane standards. The superior

road network of Tamil Nadu is one of the

strong reasons for the economic

development achieved by it.

5.3 Prominent Industrial Sectors in Tamil Nadu

Agro-Food Processing Sector

Climatic conditions in Tamil Nadu are basically tropical and sub-tropical

and there are seven agro climatic conditions in the State suitable for

cultivating various crops. The State mostly benefits from north-east

monsoon and predominant soils are red loam, laterite, black, alluvial and

saline soil. The state with 38 agricultural and horticultural research stations

and agricultural universities for technical expertise provides vast scope for

establishing and scaling up of more number of enterprises in food

processing sector.

Tamil Nadu State produces about 120 lakh MT of food grains, 140 lakh MT

of fruits and vegetables, contributing about 3 percent of Indian‟s foodgrain

production, 7 percent of vegetable production and about 12 percent of fruit

production. Tamil Nadu State also produces around 77 lakh Metric Tonne of

milk per annum. The State ranks fourth in marine fish production and sixth

in inland fish production.

The State significantly contributes in terms of exports of processed foods

such as marine products, meat, rice, cereal products, dairy products, etc.

Many cluster initiatives were undertaken in food processing sector by


Page 42


MSME-Development Institute like establishment of common facility centres

in Alankulam (Rice mill cluster), Keezhapavur (Crude rice bran oil) and

thanjavur (Rice mill cluster), etc. Tamil Nadu Food Processing Policy 2018

focussed more on crop/commodity based farming clusters and to enable a

planned and focussed approach to cater to Food Processing Industry.

Engineering

The engineering clusters, primarily concentrated around Chennai,

Thiruvallur, Vellore, Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli and Salem, consists of

both, heavy engineering such as equipment for the transport and power

industries, and light engineering in the form of electronics for IT and

healthcare. These clusters have played a key role in diversifying the

manufacturing process. The encouragement of small scale industrial units,

particularly in Vellore and Dindigul, has led to an expansion in the scope of

activities envisaged through sharing common facilities, enabling the

development of alternative growth strategies for the industry as a whole.

Textile Industries

The textile industry is one of the largest sources of employment generation

in Tamil Nadu State and a largest economic activity after agriculture in the

State. The State has a strong presence in textiles and the second largest

contributor to the Indian Textiles Industry and predominantly cotton based

units. The State marks its overwhelming presence in all the sub sectors of

the industry viz., Spinning, Handloom weaving, Power loom weaving,

Processing, Knitwear, Apparel and Garmenting. Some of the textile products

from Tamil Nadu which are universally recognised for the excellent

craftsmanship and their uniqueness are Kancheepuram Silk Sarees,

Bhavani Carpet (Jamukalam), Madurai Sungadi Sarees, Coimbatore Kora

Sarees, Paramakudi Sarees, Salem Silk Dhoties, Erode and Karur Home

Textiles, Tiruppur Knitwear Garments, etc. Tamil Nadu acts as the hub of

textile exports from the country viz., Tiruppur for Knitwear Garments,

Coimbatore for Yarn, Karur for Home Textiles and Chennai for Woven

Garment exports.

The State accounts for about 20% of the Nation's Textile output with a

robust network of all the sub-sectors of the Textile industry. Tamil Nadu is

the leading State in the Country in Textile sector and having major

stakeholders with 46% of Spinning capacity, 60% of yarn export, 20% of

Power loom capacity, 12% of Handloom capacity, 70% of Cotton Fabric

Knitting capacity, 20% TUFs investments. Tamil nadu Textile industry

provides direct employment to around 31 lakh people and contributes to

export revenue by about Rs. 50,000 crore.

Automobiles and Components

With a presence in Chennai, Kancheepuram, Coimbatore, Madurai and

Sivaganga, the automobile industry is one of the most important industrial

subsectors in Tamil Nadu. Maritime connectivity has enhanced the

attractiveness of Tamil Nadu as a manufacturing and assembling centre for

international players. However, congestion problems at ports, the

unavailability of power and increasing human resource costs threaten the

competitiveness and sustainability of growth in this sector.

Tamil Nadu is to-date the only State to attract seven automobile giants-Ford,

Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Daimler, Nissan, Renault and BMW. As on date,

Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu and the Detroit of South Asia, has an

installed capacity to produce 1.64 Million cars and about 2,18,000 Trucks

and 4.82 Million Two wheelers. Chennai is now emerging as one of the “Top

10” Global Automobile manufacturing centres. The State is also the

preferred choice for over 350 large auto component manufacturers

accounting for more than 35% of India‟s auto components production.

Global auto majors Hyundai Motors, Ford, Hindustan Motors and Mitsubishi

have also been playing an active role. Ashok Leyland and TAFE have set up

expansion plants in Chennai.

A comparison of the total operating costs across various investment

destinations in India would place Tamil Nadu ahead of the rest and in a very

favourable position to offer investors opportunities they would find hard to

resist. Chennai serves as the most cost effective production base for export

markets by many MNCs.

Food Processing

A large number of small players have entered the food processing industry in

the Madurai-Dindigul belt, forming an industrial cluster. Krishnagiri, the

leading producer of mango pulp, is an emerging cluster. Kancheepuram and

Thiruvannamalai have a growing number of rice mills. The development of

these clusters has not only provided employment to many, but also provided

a ready market for agricultural produce in these districts. With the exception

of a few large players, most of the players in this sector are unorganized.

SIPCOT initiatives have been successful in mobilising resources and

encouraging small enterprises to be formally registered. The Directorate of

Agricultural Marketing and Agri-Business is the nodal agency for the food

processing industry in the state. Export promotion assistance is also offered

to players in this sector.


Page 44


Chemical

Tamil Nadu has a strong presence in the chemical industry, although the

sector has been showing lower levels of growth in recent years. The state is a

major exporter of basic chemicals and other chemical products. Chemical

industries are clustered in Chennai, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam and

Thoothukudi, with manufacturing facilities for fertilizers, paints, carbon

black, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, polymers, caustic soda and soda ash.

Greater policy incentives can help revive growth in the sector.

Leather

Dominated by small players, the leather industry clustered around Vellore is

one of the most labour intensive sectors in the state. A large number of

women are employed in this sector. Tamil Nadu accounts for a majority of

leather tanning capacity in the state. Leather exports from Tamil Nadu

account for a major chunk of the country‟s total leather exports. The non-

availability of water, erratic power supply and dwindling human resource

availability has raised the cost of production for the industry, eroding its

competitive advantage.

Electronics

The electronics industry has shown tremendous growth potential,

particularly in the production of semiconductor, electronic hardware and

nanotechnology. The electronics cluster has grown in Chennai and

Kancheepuram due to the favourable investment climate and access to

multimodal transport. The steady market demand for electronic equipment

growth and exports has facilitated expansion.

Information Technology Sector

Knowledge based industries like I.T. and Biotechnology have become the

thrust area in the industrial scene in Tamil Nadu . TIDEL, a software

technology park, has been established in Tharamani, Chennai.

Tamil Nadu offers an abundance of relevant skills, robust IT infrastructure

and easily available real estate. Chennai is the choice of international

finance majors as well - Stanchart, World Bank, Citibank and ABN-AMRO

Bank have set up their back office operations in the city. BPOs and off-shore

operations have also preferred to operate from Chennai. With more than

1,800 IT / IT Enabled Services (ITES) companies, over 5,00,000

professionals and annual IT exports of Rs.50,000 crore, Chennai, with its IT

Bay Area, towers over other major cities as an IT and ITES powerhouse.

Tamil Nadu State is home for 22 approved IT parks and provides more than

7,50,000 indirect employment in IT/ITeS companies.


Page 45


Software and BPO

While the software and BPO sector was originally concentrated around

Chennai and urban agglomerations in the region, the sector has begun to

establish base in districts such as Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli, Madurai and

Tirunelveli. The state government‟s favourable industrial policies for the IT

sector, ready availability of skilled human resources and strong IT

infrastructure have created conducive growth conditions for the software

and BPO sector in Tamil Nadu. A number of multinational firms are

operating in this space due to the availability of skilled human resources.

Over 50% of all software exports from Tamil Nadu are made to USA. Power

problems, however, threaten the sustenance of growth in this industry.

5.4 Technical Institutions and Skilled Manpower

The State is blessed with a talent pool of keen minds, well-honed expertise

and specialized educational institutions like Anna University, Indian

Institute of Technology, Madras, the National Institute of Technology, Trichy

and many other private institutions that serve as alma mater to some of the

sharpest brains in the country, from where a legion of top notch engineers

gear up to take on the world. The Government has also set up the Indian

Institute of Information Technology at Srirangam near Tiruchirapalli to take

higher technical education to the next level for the coming decades.

The State also complements its skilled manpower with salubrious working

conditions, a peaceful industrial climate, committed workforce and

extremely competitive wage rates that offer substantial cost savings. In

short, when it comes to human resources, Tamil Nadu is the “Number 1” in

skilled manpower availability.

CHAPTER – X

INDUSTRIAL, INVESTMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICIES OF

TAMIL NADU

10.1 Tamil Nadu Industrial Policy-2014

The State of Tamil Nadu has always

been in the forefront of economic

growth in the country. The State has

made impressive strides over the

years to carve out a niche for itself in

the fields of engineering, automobiles,

textiles, leather, Information

Technology, electronic Hardware and

hi-technology industries and the

Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP)

stood at Rs.4,51,313 crore at

constant prices in 2012-131.

The industrial GSDP of Tamil Nadu grew at an impressive rate of 9.60% from

the year 2005-06 to 2012-13 at constant prices.

To maintain its position as a progressive State, the Government has

recently taken proactive steps like the release of Vision 2023 Tamil Nadu

document, formulation of Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, Rules

and Regulations, along with Tamil Nadu Transparency in Tenders (Public

Private Partnership and Procurement) Act and Rules. The United Nations

Report on Probity in Public Procurement has recognised Tamil Nadu as the

first State to have a legislative frame work to deal with Public Private

Partnership procurement. Recognising the importance of quality

infrastructure, the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Fund (TNIDF)

and a Project Preparation Fund (PPF) have also been set up and

in 2013-2014; Rs.2000 crore has been provided for the Tamil Nadu

Infrastructure Development Fund and Rs.200 crore for the Project

Preparation Fund.

10.1.3 Strategy

Infrastructure

Recognising that world class infrastructure, both industrial and social,

is a prerequisite for rapid industrialisation, the Government of Tamil

Nadu aims at creating and upgrading the existing infrastructure to

world standards.

Power

The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited

(TANGEDCO) has embarked on an ambitious plan to augment the

generating capacity by 6200 MW in the next few years. The State

Government has also been encouraging the development of renewable

energy in a big way, with particular emphasis on wind and solar

power.

Water

Developers of Industrial parks/ SEZs/ Industry clusters, etc , will be

provided incentives to set up desalination plants/ waste water

treatment and recycling plants. Also, the Government will encourage

industries to undertake large waste water treatment and recycling


Page 90


plants on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode for treating urban

sewage to industrial grade water. The industries will be encouraged to

adopt measures for rainwater harvesting system to recharge the

aquifers in the industrial area.

Rail /Road/Sea Connectivity Network

The Government will endeavour to create high-speed rail corridors

with support from Government of India to connect major cities of

Tamil Nadu. To provide rail link for the benefit of highly industrialised

areas falling between Avadi and Guduvancherry and to decongest the

area, the State Government and the Southern Railways have initiated

the process for establishment of broad gauge rail link between Avadi

and Guduvancherry passing through the important industrial areas in

Sriperumbudur and Oragadam.

The Government has taken the initiative to augment the road capacity

in tune with the growing needs of development. The Comprehensive

Road Infrastructure Development Programme (CRIDP) is a flagship

scheme wherein Government of Tamil Nadu has sanctioned Rs.14,872

crore for widening and improvements in 50,610 km roads and 2,020

number of culverts, bridges and protective works to develop the road

infrastructure facilities.

Authority of India (NHAI) and the Government of India will improve the

connectivity to the Chennai and EnnorePorts.13 of the 23 minor ports

in the State have been offered to the Private sector for establishment of

captive facilities. The Government will facilitate up-gradation of the

minor ports at Nagapattinam, Colachel, Cuddalore and Manappadu

into all weather deep sea ports and the other ports as Intermediate

ports.

10.2 TAMIL NADU FOOD PROCESSING POLICY – 2018

Food processing has been a part of India‟s culture since time immemorial.

The advancement of technology in recent decades has spurred exponential

growth in the food processing industry. The food processing industry

accounts for 32% of India‟s food market, 12% of India‟s exports, 6% of total

industrial investment and 14% of India‟s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

However, the present level of food processing is less than 2% in fruits and

vegetables, 8% in marine products, 35% in milk and 6% in poultry. Thus,

India‟s share is about 1% of the world processed food production.

As in the case of Tamil Nadu, the current level of processing of agricultural

commodities is less than 2%. To increase the percentage of processed food,

especially of fruits and vegetables, the Government of Tamil Nadu decided to

evolve an exclusive policy for the food processing sector in the State. The

policy also aims at increasing farmer‟s income, reducing wastage of food

products and value addition to farm products etc. The Department of

Agricultural Marketing & Agri Business, Govt. of Tamil Nadu shall be the

nodal agency to implement the scheme.

10.2.1 The Targets and Objectives of the Policy

Focus on crop/commodity based farming clusters and to enable a

planned and focussed approach to cater the food processing

industry

To reduce the wastage, increase value addition, ensure better

price for farmers while ensuring the availability of affordable and

quality produce to consumers.

To identify and bridge the infrastructure gap besides promoting

innovations, Research and Development and technology

Upgradation especially in food packaging, food testing and quality

To enhance raw material availability, facilitate ease of

procurement by processors and to encourage farmers to grow

more remunerative crops.

To promote processing and to create adequate infrastructure

facilities by active involvement of Private sector, Cooperatives as

well as Public Private Participation, adopt state of the art

technology and innovation to make food processing industry

competitive and establish Institutions and procedures to ensure

traceability, food safety and quality assurance.

CHAPTER-XII

VARIOUS POLICIES AND NEW INITIATIVES OF GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

MSMEs are significantly present in all States and UTs; and they are the

second largest employer after agriculture in the country. These enterprises

have supported inclusive growth and development across the country

thereby reducing the regional imbalances. Thus the Government India has

always laid utmost emphasis on the MSME sector. Some of the policies

introduced for the benefit of this sector are as follows:

12.1 Govt of India’s Support and Outreach Initiative for MSME Sector

A special Support and Outreach Initiative for MSME Sector was launched by

Hon‟ble Prime Minister on 02nd November 2018 to ensure strengthening of

the MSME sector in India.

As part of this programme, 12 key initiatives which will help the growth,

expansion and facilitation of MSMEs across the country, were unveiled.

These initiatives span the key aspects for facilitating the MSME sector, viz. ,

access to credit, access to market, technology upgradation, ease of doing

business, and a sense of security for employees.

12.1.1Access to Credit

Launch of the 59 minute loan portal to enable easy access to credit for

MSMEs: In principle approval of loans upto Rs. 1 crore can be granted

through this portal, in just 59 minutes. Portal link is available

through GST Portal.

Two percent interest subvention for all GST registered MSMEs, on

fresh or incremental loans, has been introduced. For exporters who

receive loans in the pre-shipment and post-shipment period, an

increase in interest rebate from 3 % to 5 % has been announced.

It has been mandated that all the companies with a turnover more

than Rs. 500 crore must compulsorily be brought on the Trade

Receivables e-Discounting System (TReDS). Joining this portal will

enable entrepreneurs to access credit from banks, based on their

upcoming receivables and hence, this will resolve their problems of

cash cycle.

12.1.2 Access to Markets

The mandatory procurement requirement for the Public sector

companies from the MSMEs has been increased from 20% to 25% of

their total purchases.

For the CPSUs, out of the 25% procurement mandated from MSMEs,

3% has been reserved for women entrepreneurs.


Page 101


It has been made mandatory for all public sector undertakings of the

Union Government to compulsorily be a part of GeM and also try to

get all their vendors registered on GeM. (As of now, more than 1.5 lakh

suppliers have registered with GeM, out of which 40,000 are MSMEs,

thus resulting in transactions of worth more than Rs. 14,000 crore

through GeM)

12.1.3 Technology Upgradation

Since tool rooms across the country are a vital part of product design,

under this Special package of Rs. 6000 Crore, 20 hubs and 100

spokes in the form of tool rooms will be established across the

country.

12.1.4 Ease of Doing Business

It has been announced that clusters will be formed for Pharma

MSMEs and 70% of the cost of establishing these clusters will be

borne by the Union Government.

In order to simplify the Government procedures, it has been decided

that the return under 8 labour laws and 10 Union regulations must

now be filed only once a year.

To simplify the Government procedures, computerised random

allotment has been introduced for deciding the establishments to be

visited by Inspectors.

The two mandatory clearances required by an entrepreneur to

establish a unit, namely, environmental clearance and consent to

establish, have been merged as a single consent under the air

pollution and water pollution laws. Further, the return for the same

will be accepted through self-certification.

An Ordinance has been promulgated to enable entrepreneurs to

correct the minor violations under the Companies Act through simple

procedures rather than to approach courts.

12.1.5 Social Security for MSME Sector Employees

Govt. of India has also made an announcement to launch a mission to

ensure that MSME Sector employees have Jan Dhan Accounts, provident

fund and insurance, to ensure their social security.


Page 102


12.2 GeM- Government e-Marketplace

Public procurement forms a very important part of Government activity and

Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is a concrete step of the Government with

the aim to transform the way in which procurement of goods and services is

done by the Government Ministries/Departments, PSUs, autonomous bodies

etc.

GeM is a completely paperless, cashless and system driven e-market place

that enables procurement of common use goods and services with minimal

human interface. It is a technology driven platform to facilitate procurement

of goods and services by various Ministries and agencies of the Government.

Presently more than 7400 products in about 150 product categories and

hiring of transport service are available on GeM POC portal. Transactions for

more than Rs 140 Crore have already been processed through GeM.

GeM eliminates human interface in vendor registration, order placement and

payment processing, to a great extent. Being an open platform, GeM offers

no entry barriers to bonafide suppliers who wish to do business with the

Government.

Direct purchase on GeM can be done in a matter of minutes and the entire

process in online, end to end integrated and with online tools for assessing

price reasonability. For procurements of higher value, the bidding/RA

facility on GeM is among the most transparent and efficient, in comparison

to e-procurement systems in vogue within the Government sector.

GeM is a completely secure platform and all the documents on GeM are e-

Signed at various stages by the buyers and sellers. The antecedents of the

suppliers are verified online and automatically through MCA21, Aadhar and

PAN databases. In addition, SEBI empanelled credit rating agencies are also

being used for conducting third-party assessment of suppliers. GeM does a

100% online verification of all vendors irrespective of the value of

procurement. On GeM, the filters for selecting goods which are Preferential

Market Access (PMA) compliant and those manufactured by Small Scale

Industries(SSI), enables the Government buyers to procure Make in India

and SSI goods very easily.

The transparency, efficiency and ease of use of the GeM portal has also

resulted in a substantial reduction in prices on GeM, in comparison to the

tender, Rate Contract and direct purchase rates.

12.3 Stand Up India Scheme

The Scheme facilitates bank loan between 10 lakhs to 1 crore to atleast 1

Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe borrower and atleast one woman


Page 103


borrower per bank branch for setting up a Greenfield enterprise. The loan is

given for 75% of the project cost inclusive of term loan and working capital;

and is guaranteed by CGFSIL (Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Stand Up

India Loans). Hence no collateral security is required under this scheme.

However the entrepreneur must be above 18 years of age and should be

availing the loan for a first time venture.

12.4 Startup India

Start-up India is a flagship initiative of the Government of India, intended to

build a strong eco-system for nurturing innovation and Startups in the

country that will drive sustainable economic growth and generate large scale

employment opportunities. The Government through this initiative aims to

empower Start-ups to grow through innovation and design.

In order to meet the objectives of the initiative, Government of India

announced the Action Plan that addresses all aspects of the Startup

ecosystem on 16th January 2016. With this Action Plan, the Government

hopes to accelerate spreading of the Startup movement. The Action Plan is

based on the following three pillars:

Simplification and Handholding

Funding Support and Incentives

Industry-Academia Partnership and Incubation

So far, 14,036 Startup applications have been recognised as Startups by

DIPP, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and Startups can now avail

Following the PM‟s Outreach Programme for MSMEs, the Ministry of

MSME has issued two notifications dated 02.11.2018(S.O.5621(E) &

S.O.5622(E)) to provide further ease of doing business to MSMEs, in

13.3 MSME Sampark Portal - Placement portal for MSME Technology

Centre trainees

The MSME Sampark portal (http://sampark.msme.gov.in) is a digital

platform launched by Ministry of MSME in June 2018 as a placement

portal for MSME Technology Centre trainees. At this platform,

jobseekers (passed out trainees / students of 18 MSME Technology

Centres) and recruiters (various reputed national & multinational

companies) register themselves for getting employment and getting

right kind of manpower respectively.

The portal envisages to bridge this gap between the Recruiters and Job

Seekers by mapping the various desirable requirements including role,

position, required experience, monetary expectation, location &

industry verticals with the available skill sets of the job seekers.

13.4 Udyam Sakhi – Women‟s Network for Social entrepreneurship

The Udyam Sakhi portal (https://www.udyamsakhi.org) is a network

for nurturing entrepreneurship and creating business models for low

cost products and services in order to empower women and make

them self-reliant and self-sufficient.

The portal provides assistance through its platform for

entrepreneurship learning tools, incubation facility, training programs

for fund raising, providing mentors, one-on-one investor meet, provide

market survey facility and technical assistance.Given the huge

number of women entrepreneurs in MSME sector, the Ministry is

focussed to promote growth and development of this sector including

Khadi, Village and Coir industries, in cooperation with the concerned

ministries and departments, state governments and other stake

holders.

Thus, Udyam Sakhi is an initiative of Ministry of MSME to encourage

women entrepreneurs to aid, counsel, assist and protect their interests

while starting, building and growing their businesses.

13.5 MSME Samadhan - MSME Delayed Payment Portal

MSME Delayed Payment Portal – MSME Samadhaan

(http://msefc.msme.gov.in) empowers micro and small entrepreneurs

across the country to directly register their cases relating to delayed

http://sampark.msme.gov.in/

https://www.udyamsakhi.org/

http://msefc.msme.gov.in/


Page 106


payments by Central Ministries/Departments/CPSEs/State

Governments. As per the provisions of MSMED Act 2006, the buyer is

liable to pay compound interest with monthly rests to the supplier on

the amount at three times of the bank rate notified by Reserve Bank in

case he does not make payment to the supplier for the supplies of

goods or services within 45 days of the day of acceptance of the

goods/service or the deemed day of acceptance.

The Portal will thus give information about the pending payment of

MSEs with individual CPSEs / Central Ministries, State Governments,

etc. The CEO of PSEs and the Secretary of the Ministries concerned

will also be able to monitor the cases of delayed payment under their

jurisdiction and issue necessary instructions to resolve the issues.

The information on the portal will be available in public domain, thus

exerting moral pressure on the defaulting organisations. The MSEs

will also be empowered to access the portal and monitor their cases.

13.6 MSME Sambandh- Public Procurement Portal

The objective of the portal is to monitor the implementation of the

Public Procurement from MSEs by Central Public Sector Enterprises.

The portal enables MSEs to access the information about the products

being procured by CPSEs, thus, helping them in participating in the

procurement process.

It may be noted that the Procurement Policy launched in 2012

mandated that every Central Ministry / Department / PSU shall set

an annual goal for procurement from the MSE sector at the beginning

of the year, with the objective of achieving an overall procurement goal

of minimum of 20 per cent of the total annual purchases of the

products or services produced or rendered by MSEs. As per the

recently launched Government of India‟s Support and Outreach

Initiative for MSME Sector, the mandatory procurement requirement

for the Public sector companies from the MSMEs has been increased

from 20% to 25% of their total purchases. Further, out of the 25%

procurement mandated from MSMEs, 3% has been reserved for

women entrepreneurs

Also under the Public Procurement Policy, 358 product items have

been reserved for exclusive procurement from MSEs. For More Details

one place. With the help of MyMSME mobile app Ministry of MSME

would be providing one single window to MSMEs to access information

on all schemes implemented by the Ministry and as well as apply for

any of them. And MSMEs can also lodge grievances pertaining to

Ministry of MSME through this app. This is thus, a concrete step of

the Ministry from e- Governance to M-Governance.

13.8 Solar Charkha

The Solar Charkha Mission of the Ministry of Micro Small & Medium

Enterprises (MSME), was launched in June 2018. The Mission

envisages to cover 50 clusters, with every cluster employing 400 to

2000 artisans. The Mission has been approved by the Government of

India and will disburse subsidy of Rs. 550 crore to the artisans, thus

generating direct employment nearly to one lakh persons in the

approved Fifty (50) clusters. The Mission is based on the success of

the pilot project on Solar Charkha which was implemented at Khanwa

village, Nawada District of Bihar in 2016.

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is the

implementing agency for this Mission. The objectives of the Scheme

include ensuring inclusive growth by generation of employment,

especially for women and youth, and sustainable development through

solar charkha clusters in rural areas; boosting rural economy and

helping in arresting migration from rural to urban areas; and

leveraging low-cost innovative technologies and processes for

sustenance. The target is to cover 50 solar clusters across the country,

whereby approx. 1,00,000 artisans/beneficiaries are to be covered

under the various scheme components. The scheme shall be

implemented in all States of India with special focus to 117

aspirational districts of India.

The Scheme would cover three types of interventions.

1. Capital subsidy for individual and for Special Purpose Vehicle

(SPV)

2. Interest subvention (ceiling 8%) on Working Capital

3. Capacity building of spinners/weavers and others involved in

the garmenting unit

furnish data on click of the button and sitting in their units. The

databank will be useful for public procurement purposes and the

PSUs will make use of the data for procuring from MSMEs. MSME
