Introduction to Micro & Cottage Industries

Micro and cottage industries are small, home-based units often run by families or individuals using traditional skills. These industries include handicrafts, weaving, pottery, food processing, and more. MSMEPCI works to preserve and promote these valuable local businesses.

Preserving Traditional Skills

Many cottage industries are rooted in cultural heritage and passed down through generations. MSMEPCI supports artisans and craftsmen by providing training, product development support, and connecting them with wider markets to ensure their skills stay alive and profitable.

Financial and Infrastructure Support

MSMEPCI helps micro and cottage industry owners access small business loans, grants, and subsidies. We also assist in setting up production units with improved tools, machinery, and workspace, boosting their efficiency and product quality.

Market Linkage and Promotion

A big challenge for these industries is reaching customers. MSMEPCI helps by organizing exhibitions, connecting them to online marketplaces, and supporting branding and packaging. This helps micro businesses expand their customer base and income.

Women and Rural Employment

Micro and cottage industries provide flexible employment, especially for women and rural families. MSMEPCI promotes this sector to create sustainable livelihoods and self-reliance among underrepresented communities.
