Draft Detailed Project Report

Technology Centre Systems Program – Draft DPR for New TC at Rohtak
► Prior experience: These are the sectors where O/o DC-MSME has experience of operating
TCs, such as General Engineering, Automotive, Electronics/ESDM, Leather & Footwear,
Glassware, Sports Goods, and Fragrance & Flavours
► Concentration of MSME’s: These are sectors where O/o DC-MSME has limited prior
experience of operating TCs, however there exist a large number of MSMEs in these
industries. Such as Food processing, Textiles (including Handlooms & Handicrafts),
Pharmaceuticals, Wood/Paper/Pulp, and Rubber & Plastics.
► Emerging Sectors: These are upcoming sectors that may be at the forming stage, but will
become major sectors in the near future, such as Bio-technology, Nano -technology, etc.
The sector in which DC-MSME has prior experience has been taken on priority. These sectors are:
auto components, ESDM, general engineering, fragrance & flavour, leather & footwear, glass. Later
the scope can be expanded to include other sectors pertaining to ministries other than MoMSME, if
needed. Such sectors include food processing, pharmaceutical, packaging etc. where presence of
MSMEs is considerable.
The list of locations arrived by the above was further refined and finalised with respect to the
following additional considerations;
During these discussions additional considerations emerged:
► State Classification: The states were classified into two categories as unserved states and
served states. All states of the country were distributed between Un-served states where O/o
DC-MSME did not have an operating TC and served states where an operating MoMSME TC
existed.
► At first unserved states were considered for the new TC in order to spread the coverage of
MoMSME TC which would help in supporting more MSMEs across the country. With the
approval of locations for the unserved states, served states would also be considered for the
technologies for which existing TC cannot support.
► On the basis of MSMEs concentration in prior experience sectors, leading clusters were
identified in each unserved state. This resulted in identifying the industry wise potential
locations in each of these states.
► Some of the unserved states took proactive approach and have allocated or identified land
for the purpose of TC. These locations were mapped to the locations identified in the step
above. Accordingly technology focus was selected for these locations.
