Small scale industries provide employment to a large number of persons across the state. The development of small scale industries has been given priority in successive industrial policies of the state – adopted from time to time. In the current organizational and structural set up, the District Industries Centres (DICs) operate as nodal agencies for development of small scale industries and for recommending grants under various incentives.
Assistance under various schemes like National Equity fund (NEF), Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (CLCSS), Small Industries Cluster Development Programme (SICDP), Prime Minister's Rozgar Yojana (PMRY) etc. announced by the government of India are also available for this sector.

The state government proposes to develop industrial and craft clusters in SSI, tiny and household sectors with the involvement of industry associations of the area, R&D associations and financial institutions such as SIDBI, NABARD and TBIIP (Technology Bureau of Industrial Investment Partnerships) and under UNIDO's Cluster Development initiative. For this purpose, integrated interventions covering common facilities for quality improvement, technology upgradation, market promotion and skill development are proposed to be designed and implemented. New SSIs will be encouraged in clusters rather than in isolated locations.
