Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant
and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last six decades. MSMEs not only
play crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower
capital cost than large industries but also help in industrialization of rural &
backward areas, thereby, reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution
of national income and wealth. MSMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary
units and this sector contributes enormously to the socio-economic development of
the country. Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (M/o MSME) envision a
vibrant MSME sector by promoting growth and development of the MSME Sector, including
Khadi, Village and Coir Industries, in cooperation with concerned Ministries/Departments,
State Governments and other Stakeholders, by providing support to existing enterprises
and encouraging creation of new enterprises. For Details

National Institute for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises
ni-msme was originally set up as Central Industrial Extension Training Institute (CIETI) in New Delhi in 1960 as a Department under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Government of India. It was decided to keep it free from the tardy and impeding administrative controls and procedures, so that the Institute can play a pivotal role in the promotion of small enterprise.
Therefore the Institute was shifted to Hyderabad in 1962, and was renamed as Small Industry Extension Training (SIET) Institute.
