Abstract:

Growth through small enterprises is a strategy which has become the driving force of many policies recently. In the industrial front of Kerala, Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) have a great role to play. As per the MSME survey and Quick results of fourth Census , 5.62percentage of all India share of MSME enterprises is in Kerala.(Economic Review 2014).Its importance in the industrial growth of Kerala is multifold. It is emerging as a major income generating and employment providing sector. It also gives importance to various social groups like SC,ST, women, youth, physically handicapped etc. and has helped in the reduction of social and regional imbalances. MSMEs also have the ability to innovate and experiment with new technologies on small scales. On the contrary, lack of funds is considered to be a major setback for their development .In this context, this paper tries to examine the performance of MSME in Kerala and measures taken by Reserve Bank of India to ensure credit flow to these units. It is found that in spite of the guidelines given by Reserve Bank of India, neither the units are aware of the facilities open for them nor the commercial banks are following it.
