Dear Members of MahaEngineers Community,

 

Sir/Madam,

 

Sensitization Programme on WTO

 

The capability of Indian SSI products to compete in international markets is reflected in its share of about 34% in national exports. In case of items like readymade garments, leather goods, processed foods, engineering items, the performance has been commendable both in terms of value and their share within the SSI sector while in some cases like sports goods they account for 100% share to the total exports of the sector. In view of this, export promotion from the small scale sector has been accorded high priority in India's export promotion strategy which includes simplification of procedures, incentives for higher production of exports, preferential treatments to SSIs in the market development fund, simplification of duty drawback rules, etc. Products of SSI exporters are displayed in international exhibitions free of cost under SIDO Umbrella abroad.  With a view to rendering assistance to Small Scale Units in the field of exploring market potential, export promotion and exhibit ional publicity, the various programmes are being arranged.

Unfortunately not many SSIs are aware about this, particularly about effect of WTO on their future business. Pune Management Association along with the Institution of Engineers (India) have arranged an awareness programme on this vital subject. This programme is being supported by District Industries Center, Pune and Small Industries Services Institute, Mumbai.
