PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES - A STUDY OF PRE-LIBERALIZATION AND POST-LIBERALIZATION PERIOD

Abstract

The role of small-scale industries has always been supported in a country like India with various opinions such as employment, equality, latent resource, trickling effect, insurance against social tension, distributive effect, creation of social eco-system and decentralization etc. The other arguments in favor of this are making provision for self-employment and capital formation. Study of SSIs has received many responses from various economists. The performance of the small-scale sector has a direct impact on the growth of the overall economy in terms of number of units, production, employment and exports. It may help to understand its role in the economic development of the country.
