Promotion of Cottage Industries

Development of cottage industry is largely the responsibility of State Governments. However, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) also has a number of schemes/interventions for the development of MSME including cottage industry on the basis of labor intensive techniques and low per capita investment. The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises is implementing Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), a credit-linked subsidy programme since 2008-09 with Khadi and Village Industries Commission(KVIC) as nodal agency at the national level for generating self-employment opportunities through establishment of micro enterprises including cottage industries by organizing traditional artisans and unemployed youth, helping in preventing their migration besides increasing their earning capacity throughout the country. At the State/Union Territories level, the scheme is implemented through field offices of KVIC, State/Union Territory Khadi and Village Industries Boards (KVIBs) and District Industries Centres (DICs) with involvement of Banks. Under this Programme, General Category beneficiaries can avail margin money subsidy of 25% of the project cost in rural areas and 15% in urban areas. For special categories such as SC/ST/OBC/minorities/women/ex-servicemen/physically handicapped/NER/Hill and Border areas etc. the margin money subsidy is 35% in rural areas and 25% in urban areas. Maximum project cost for manufacturing unit is Rs.25 lakh and for service sector it is Rs.10 lakh.

The PMEGP scheme is being implemented in the entire country including backward regions of the country. While allocating Margin Money target, the backwardness factor is also taken into consideration.

State-wise release of margin money subsidy is treated as target and the achievements in term of the margin money subsidy utilized for setting up of micro-enterprises including agro-rural industries, under PMEGP during the last two years and current year is:
