AUTONOMOUS BODIES UNDER DC (MSME)

Autonomous Bodies are set up whenever it is felt that certain functions need to be discharged outside the governmental set up with some amount of independence and flexibility without day-to-day interference of the Governmental machinery. These are set up by the Ministries/Departments concerned with the subject matter and are funded through grants-in-aid, either fully or partially, depending on the extent which such institutes generate internal resources of their own. These grants are regulated by the Ministry of Finance through their instructions as well as the instructions relating to powers for creation of posts and etc. They are mostly registered as societies under the Societies Registration Act and in certain cases they have been set up as statutory institutions under the provisions contained in various Acts.

A total of 18 Autonomous Bodies fall within the purview of Development Commissioner (MSME). A complete list may be seen below.

In respect of some of the Autonomous Bodies under Development Commissioner (MSME), independent evaluation studies have been carried out by agencies such as UNIDO and the National Productivity Council. It is also proposed that budgetary support of all Autonomous Bodies under Development Commissioner (MSME) be reduced gradually so as to make these institutions self-sufficient within a period of 3 to 5 years. Already some of the Autonomous Bodies have achieved self-sufficiency of over 80% in respect of income generated vis-a-vis expenditure incurred.
