Abstract

The cottage industrial sector has been both a concern and of importance over the years, however, significant intervention has not been seen towards its inclusive development facilitation over several decades. India, ranked 68 in 141 on GCI, is one of those countries which have numerous cottage enterprises and SSI but lacks resources, policies and practices to support their growth and development. The SDGs have formed the baseline for development but has a long way to go from acceptance to implementation. Cottage industries form the backbone of rural areas and have optimal opportunities for job creation; locally sourcing SSI has probable advantage for sustainable development over raw material importing SSI and cottage enterprises. Major obstacle areas include financial development, infrastructural growth and inclusion, technological innovation and integrated development facilitation. The paper explores past and recent developments in policies specialising in cottage industries and forms a stepping stone for further research and development.
