From the DG's Desk

It gives me great pleasure to welcome all the distinguished
partners, sponsors, presenters and participating SMEs to the
first National MSME Conclave being organized by the Indian
Institute of Corporate Affairs- Centre for Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
The MSME sector is the most dynamic and vibrant sector of the
economy and has emerged as the thrust area for future growth in
the country. As a critical part of the supply chain, sub-assemblies
and services to larger companies, the infinitely more flexible
MSMEs can perform activities that are not economically viable
for large enterprises. There is huge potential, which, once
tapped, could unleash unprecedented growth, powering the
Indian economy ahead.
IICA's initiative in hosting the 'National MSME Conclave 2014'
in New Delhi on November 19, 2014, will bring together the best
minds from the MSME sector to understand and overcome the
challenges and difficulties faced by the MSMEs today and
discuss the key issues for sustenance and growth.
We welcome you all and look forward to constructive
deliberations, distilled into recommendations and outcomes
which would inform our work and also the future vision of the
MSME Sector in India. Let us work together to seek ways to
empower the SME Sector so that it is able to take its rightful
place as the growth engine of the economy.
I wish all the participants great success.

Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee,

DG&CEO, IICA

Fostering
excellence in
Corporate
Governance
India's premier educational and research institution :
The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs
The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) was registered as a society on September
12, 2008 under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. An autonomous institute, IICA
works under the aegis of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to deliver opportunities for
research, education, and advocacy. It is also a think tank that curates a repository of data
and knowledge for policy makers, regulators as well as other stakeholders working in the
domain of corporate affairs.
Set up as the premier organisation that aims at providing astute and credible intellectual
leadership in corporate regulation, governance and running sustainable businesses,
IICA is a think-tank, capacity building and service delivery institute. Its work enables
corporate growth, reforms and regulation through synergised knowledge management,
and global partnerships thus offering real-time solutions. IICA propels knowledge and
training through its network of schools and centres. It has six departments and six hubs
of excellence carrying this vision forward.
The institute, spread across a sprawling 14-acres, has state-of-the art infrastructure. Its
main building is eight storeyed high and is eco-sensitive. The campus has residential
blocks, hostel facilities for staff and students, recreational centre, a well-stocked library,
an in-house auditorium and an efficient knowledge management system.
Key activities carried out by IICA include induction and in-service training to Indian
Corporate Law Service (ICLS) officers, capacity-building and training programmes,
policy advisory functions, public outreach and stakeholder consultations through
seminars, conferences and forums.
IICA also supports Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) initiatives on all matters relating
to Corporate Affairs. Anticipation of corporate needs for effective functioning, reviewing
corporate laws for effective amendments to cater to evolving business environments,
exploring new paradigms such as investor education, and periodic reviews and updation
of definitions, components and activities related to corporate governance are other
prominent initiatives of the institute.

Background
& Objectives:
National MSME Conclave 2014

Background
Worldwide, Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises (MSMEs) have been accepted
as the key component of industrial
development and a significant
contributor to national income. In a
developing economy, this sector not only
provides employment opportunities to
millions of people, but it also creates an
enabling environment for entrepreneurs
to develop their talents and necessary
skills.
In India too, the role and contribution of
MSMEs in the growth of economy and
entrepreneurship development is well
established. The importance of MSMEs in
our country is attributable to the fact that
it has low investment requirements,
location wise mobility and in many cases
it uses traditional skills and natural
resources. Despite this, the MSMEs in
India continue to face many challenges
such as stiff competition from large scale
industries, shortage of funds, lack of
updated technology, unpredictable
market scenario etc.
Hard policy choices, challenges of
implementation, regulation &
governance, an uncertain macroeconomic
environment and global sectoral
transformation have added to the
difficulties & challenges faced by the
MSME sector in India.
The
establishment of a sound process whereby

a workable course of action may be

decided upon, is the need of the hour,
whereby the potential for growth in the
MSME sector may be unleashed in India.
It is bearing these challenges and issues
in mind that the Indian Institute of
Corporate Affairs (IICA) in association
with the Indian Industries Association
(IIA)-an apex body of small and medium
industries, is organising a National
MSME Conclave on the 19th of
November, 2014 at the Scope Complex
Auditorium, New Delhi. Aptly named
Let's unlock India's MSME Potential: A
New Vision, the conclave seeks to identify
and address issues that are creating
hurdles in the growth path of the small
and medium industries sector.
Objectives:
The objective of the conclave is to help
MSMEs leverage the current
opportunities offered by industrialization
and explore solutions to the key issues of
finance availability and access to
technology, skill-upgradation of
manpower, manufacturing incentives
and other services. In order to fulfil this
objective, one complete session has been
assigned to the discussion of the existing
challenges and opportunities for the
acceleration of growth of the Indian
Large, Medium, Small & Micro units.
Speakers on this panel will comprise of
Senior Government officers, industry
leaders and industry associations.

Delhi. He has been in India since 1987 as
Director of Indo-German Export
Promotion (IGEP), which was run by the
Indian and the German Governments till
2005. Since then IGEP works as an
independent non-profit organization for
enhancing trade and investment
relations between India and EU
countries. Dr. Kebschull is also the
Representative of the German Federal
States Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein
for Economic Relations. The Business
Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), an
initiative of European retail companies
initiated by the Foreign Trade
Association (FTA) Brussels, has
appointed him as the official
representative of BSCI in India. He was
also the Chief Programme Coordinator of
EU-India and Investment Development
Programme (EU-TIDP).
In his work he always put special focus on
the social and environmental impact of
private sector activities. Therefore he
introduced already in 1994 the
RUGMARK-label, which assures that
carpets are produced without illegal child
labour and helped to avoid a boycott of
Indian carpet exports. Therefore he was
awarded with life time award by the
Carpet Export Promotion Council (CEPC)

of India. In addition he successfully dealt

with the German ban of Penta Chloro
Phenol (PCP) which was followed by even
bigger threats in the case of azo dyes,

the latest TBT regulations etc. IGEP
under him developed a new standard
ISES 2000/2020according to Indian
conditions, which is to be seen as a
predecessor of SA 8000.
The ISES
standard became after the first tests in
the Indian shoe and textile/garment
industry the basis for the BSCI (Business
Social Compliance Initiative) of today's
Brussels based Foreign Trade
Association. Social and environmental
compliance has been introduced in sectors
like carpets, leather, handicrafts,
jewellery, natural stones, mica, textiles &
garments and many others are normally
financed by exporters and importers from
the private sectors. In the RUGMARK
initiative five schools and one children's
home with boarding schools are run in the

Uttar Pradesh for the children of weavers
and other poor sections of the society. At
present about 2500 children attend these
schools. In addition the Little KebSchools have been introduced in New
Delhi and in Jharkhand. Till end of 2011
four such schools for the weakest sections
have been established. They all provide
officially acknowledged education and
offer first courses in vocational training.
Also regular health care is organized, in
addition to special campaigns for
villagers, who do not have other access to
medical care.
For his work in India he has been
