Small Scale Industry

Small Scale Industry (SSI) refers to businesses that operate on a relatively modest scale, usually with limited capital, production capacity, and workforce. These industries typically produce goods or provide services for local markets and play a vital role in economic development by creating employment, supporting local economies, and fostering entrepreneurship. Examples include small manufacturing units, craft workshops, and local service providers. Unlike large corporations, SSIs are more flexible, easier to manage, and often more adaptable to changing market needs. They are essential for balanced economic growth and innovation at the community level.
