5. Function & duties :

a. Promotion of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises.

     The District of Kandhamal is yet to achieve the desired level of growth in MSME sector despite having huge potential for development of this sector. The most important problem in our society is the problem of unemployment and stagnation in growth. As promotion and development of MSME Sector is a better solution of problem of ever rising unemployment and giving a push to economic growth. So the following action plan is suggested for the promotion and development of MSME Sector in this district considering the Bottlenecks.

i) Road Show:

     Different seminars/workshops highlighting the need & Govt Policy for development of MSME sector should be organized at the various schools and colleges/Technical Institution of the district/Block level/Dist. level/ Even in neighboring District to inculcate the attitude of entrepreneurship in the minds of the students and youths of the district and to motivate them to take to self employment ventures particularly in Micro, Small Enterprises as a means of livelihood to face the challenge of unemployment & economic growth of Self/District /State as a whole.

ii) Intensive Industrial Motivational Campaign.:

     Intensive Industrial Motivational Campaigns need to be organized at the Block Levels to motivate the educated unemployed youths of the areas to take up Micro, Small activities based on resources available, skill and demand factor etc. to make them self employed besides creating employment opportunities for others. The facilities and opportunities available should also be told to the educated unemployed to utilize these for their ventures.

iii) Entrepreneurial Development Programmes:

     The people of Kandhamal are lagging behind in Enterprise. As there is no Industrial climate in the District. As it has been observed that the youths of different areas have no mind set on management skills of entrepreneurship so there is need of organizing intensive EDP in different parts of the district. The persons before taking of any enterprise should be aware of the basics of the art of entrepreneurship and also the risk taking ability through systematic training. The promotional agencies of the district as well as the state level and financial institutions should speed up their efforts in organizing the EDPs as well as making follow up to get the desired results in this direction.

iv) Credit Flow:

     The credit flow in MSME sector is not encouraging since the entrepreneur of the District are not pro active avoiding to take risk as well as their credit absorption capacity is also less due to want of knowledge of entrepreneurship/Assured marketing /Road connectivity etc.
