Message MSMEs are the growth engines of the Indian economy, being the largest job provider after agriculture. MSMEs provide more number of jobs per crore investments as compared to large industries. While a large chunk of formally trained skilled manpower from it is, Polytechnics and Colleges get employment in large/formal industries, MSMEs in India are known to employ low skilled/unskilled workforce due to their very nature of low investment, low paying capacity, low technology and low formalization. Skilling and up-skilling for MSMEs is, therefore, important, and requires focused attention. The Ministry of MSME has adopted a variety of approaches to cater to all such needs. In this context the role played by ni-msme for over 50 years is a matter of pride for us. I wish to congratulate all the stakeholders, and people associated with ni-msme on this great occasion which gives them an opportunity to rededicate themselves towards achieving excellence in all their endeavours.

Acknowledgements Bringing out a book is a Himalayan task even with ample time at hand. To undertake to capture half a century of eventful history in a book, with sight on the calendar multiplies the challenge infinitely, and it has been met only with the heart-felt cooperation of everybody concerned. First and foremost, I am deeply indebted to the Union Minister of State for MSME (Independent Charge) Mr. K.H. Muniyappa, who is the Chairman of the ni-msme Governing Council, for his constant support and advice. I express profound gratitude to Mr. Madhav Lal, IAS, Secretary (MSME) to Government of India, whose valuable guidance has helped me immensely in revising the material and presenting in its true perspective. My sincere thanks are due to Mr. Amarendra Sinha, IAS, Additional Secretary & Development Commissioner (MSME); and Mr. Surendra Nath Tripathi, IAS, Joint Secretary (SME) for enriching the outlook of the content with their keen attention and perspicuous suggestions. I am particularly grateful to Mr. C.K. Mishra, IAS, former Joint Secretary (MSME) for his discussions on the commemorative volume, which gave clarity and finesse to my idea of this book. My respectful appreciation also goes to all the former Chair-persons and members of the Governing Council of the Institute, who had contributed immeasurably to the growth and prominence of the Institute and its services. To all the former heads of the Institute and the employees, I can only express the highest admiration and esteem, for accomplishing the awesome task of building up and nurturing an institution to the level of international recognition. Today we are reaping the benefit of their labours. Needless to say, my most ardent thanks flow to my present colleagues, academic and nonacademic, whose total devotion and cooperation alone have accomplished this very difficult task of publishing a landmark volume on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee celebration. In this context, special mention must be made of the efforts of Mr. P. Udaya Shanker, Director (SEM), for chasing the deadline; and Mr. Jayakar Rao Gutty, Faculty Member (SEM) who was everywhere at the same time, working around the clock, with uncompromising diligence and attention. I appreciate the contribution of the former photographer Mr. M. Mallesha and of the consulting editor Dr. G. Girija Bai in preparing this historical document. My best compliments to Dr. G.U.K. Rao, Director (SED); Dr. C. Rani, Director (SEE) & CAO; Dr. N. Sri Lakshmi, Head (IPFC) & Registrar; Mr. V. Vishwas Rao, Consultant (SEIC); Mr. K. Subba Rao, Consultant (Accounts) and faculty for their suggestions and information which gave direction and fullness to the content. Mr. Murali Kishore, Asst. Registrar & Mr. Ravi, photographer too have been helpful in recalling the past albums. (M. Chandrasekhar Reddy) Director General XV

Origin An 'International Planning Team', headed by Mr. Douglas Ensminger, Ford Foundation Representative in India was appointed by the Government of India to study the small industry scenario in the country. The team submitted a comprehensive Report on Small Industries in 1955. It had made several far reaching recommendations, aimed at accomplishing the 'growth of active, responsible and independent small industries, and a gradual rise of many among the more gifted artisans to the status of self-reliant small industrialists', for making 'important contributions' towards the social and economic structure of India. At the apex level, the team had recommended setting up of the Small Industries Development Organisation, the National Small Industries Corporation, and an institute to take care of the necessary training and orientation requirements. Consequent upon it, the Government of India had established the Central Industrial Extension Training Institute (CIETI) as a Department of the then Ministry of Commerce and Industry in November, 1960. The CIETI was transferred in 1962 to Hyderabad, to be administered through an autonomous Society. Accordingly, such a Society was registered under the name of Small Industry Extension Training Institute (SIET). The SIET Institute as such started functioning in Hyderabad as a Government of India Society with effect from 1st July, 1962. XVII
