SMALL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION (SIDO)

The Office of the Development Commissioner (Small Scale Industries) is also known as the Small Industry Development Organization (SIDO). It is an apex body for assisting the Ministry in formulating, coordinating, implementing and monitoring policies and programmers for the promotion and development of small scale industries in the country and is headed by the Development Commissioner (SSI).

In addition, the SIDO provides a comprehensive range of common facilities, technology support services, marketing assistance, etc., through its network of 30 Small Industries Service Institutes (SISIs), 28 Branch SISIs, 7 Field Testing Stations (FTS), 4 Regional Testing Centers, 2 Small Entrepreneur Promotion and Training Institutes (SEPTI) and 1 Hand Tool Design Development and Training Centre. The SIDO also has a network of Tool Rooms, Process-cum-Product Development Centres (PPDCs) and technology and training support institutes which are run as autonomous bodies registered as societies under the Societies Act.
The Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) sector is one of the fastest growing industrial sectors all over the world. Many countries of the world have established a SME Development Agency (SMEDA) as the nodal agency to coordinate and oversee all Government interventions in respect of the development of this sector. In the case of India, though a separate medium sector is not defined, the Office of Development Commissioner (Small Scale Industries) also known as Small Industries Development Organisation (SIDO) functions as the nodal Development Agency for small industries. SIDO functions under the Ministry of SSI (Ministry of Small Scale Industries).
SIDO was established in 1954 on the basis of the recommendations of the Ford Foundation. Over the years, it has seen its role evolve into an agency for advocacy, hand holding and facilitation for the small industries sector. It has over 60 offices and 21 autonomous bodies under its management. These autonomous bodies include Tool Rooms, Training Institutions and Project-cum-Process Development Centres. SIDO provides a wide spectrum of services to the small industries sector. These include facilities for testing, toolmenting, training for entrepreneurship development, preparation of project and product profiles, technical and managerial consultancy, assistance for exports, pollution and energy audits etc. SIDO provides economic information services and advises Government in policy formulation for the promotion and development of SSIs. The field offices also work as effective links between the Central and the State Governments.
Consequent to the increased globalization of the Indian economy, small industries are required to face new challenges. SIDO has recognised the changed environment and is currently focusing on providing support in the fields of credit, marketing, technology and infrastructure to SSIs. Global trends and national developments have accentuated SIDO’s role as a catalyst of growth of small enterprises in the country.
