Hyderabad, Nov 7 (KNN) Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management (VJIM) is organising the 7th National Conference here to explore if MSMEs can be an engine for sustainable growth of the country.

“This conference would be a platform for exchange of views among MSME leaders and their representatives, policy makers from government, entrepreneurs, academicians, members of trade associations, venture capitalists, representatives of banks and financial institution, research agencies and research scholars,” the institute said in a notification.

A business school based here, Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management is an autonomous institution approved by the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education), for the award of Post Graduate Diploma in Management.

The main objectives of the conference to be held here on January 3-4 are to emphasize the role of Indian MSMEs in India's growth and facilitate interaction among various stakeholders such as policy makers, practitioners, academicians, financial institutions, entrepreneurs and MSME leaders.

The topics to be discussed at the conference are - MSME financing, clusters and innovation, women entrepreneurship, up skilling, markets, and social inclusion.

“As we seek a more inclusive and sustainable growth to capitalize from the country’s demographic dividend, we will require a more labour intensive economic growth model,” the institute said.

“A strengthened and more resilient MSME sector would aid in economic recovery and add greater stability to the system,” it added.

MSMEs, it said, have a critical role to play in enhancing export competitiveness given their very significant share in exports.

Also, co-production arrangements between large scale manufacturing and MSMEs through forward and backward linkages could be instrumental in spurring the expansion of large enterprises.
 
In order to enable the MSMEs tide over the problems, it is imperative to understand and access the real needs of the MSMEs and accordingly offer them a conclusive environment and device approaches that ensure their sustainable growth, which, in pretext calls for an approach with knowledge playing a predominant role.

The Institute now seeks eminent speakers from industry and reputed academicians to present their views on different themes of the conference.
