Infrastructural needs of small scale industry in Gujarat

Abstract

This paper spells out a case for better planning of relevant infrastructural facilities for small industries in general. Thereafter we discuss birth, death and sickness rates in Gujarat along with problems encountered by entrepreneurs. Next we provide a brief survey of relevant infrastructural facilities provide by different organizations instituted for this purpose in the State of Gujarat. This survey enables us to understand the gap between demand and supply of infrastructural services and we suggest ways of bridging such gaps. We also suggest a relevant planning strategy towards the end of this study where we spell out an appropriate methodology along with relevant planning issues involved and provide suggestions for implementing the same in a proper manner.
