The covid-induced key is charged for a prolonged period has provided a big blow to the fate of thousands of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), with many of them staring at the endless desperate hole.
Apart from the limits that are made easier to gradually and the government allows the unit to continue the operation, these companies continue to face a number of other problems, ranging from the lack of skilled labor to the price of raw materials that increase.
In Dharwad, Dakshina Kannada and the MySore District, more than 40,000 MSMEs have been identified whose productivity suffers.
Presidential Association President Kancatith tried to describe the magnitude of the problem with the number: “Fourth of 8,000 MSMEs in Dakshina Kannada were not in the position to continue operations immediately due to fiscal constraints, raise the cost of raw materials and labor shortages.
More than a pandemic, an uncontrollable increase In the price of raw material hurting MSMEs.
“Commerce room president and the Issac VAS Kanara Industry said some MSMEs in Dakshina Kannada could not pay salaries to employees during locking.
“We have written a letter to PMO, asking the center to consider paying employee wages from ESI Corpus.
The package launched by the state government does not have a direct solution appointment.
We want the center to ensure fuel prices do not rise over the next six months,” added VASE.
Although some MSMEs are involved in the food sector and the spices register a bursts of demand for their products, they cannot exploit opportunities for their benefits due to work crises.
The Secretary General of the MSME council, MySuru (Chapter), Suresh Kumar Jain, showed that the pandemic had a domino effect on the industrial sector.
“When MSMEs struggle, larger companies that rely on us for components and various other needs are too suffering,” he said.
The Association of President Mysuru Industries Vasu was worried about the exodus of labor from the urban bag.
“We do have skilled workers among local residents but we are worried about continuing the full operation provided that not all limitations have been raised,” Vasu said.
Former President of the Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry Karnataka Sudhakar S Shetty said that this sector embed its hopes for the state and central government to save MSMEs.
He repeated demand among all stakeholders to bring fuel under GST, which he said would help check the spiral price.
The surviving restriction, argues Ramesh Patil, the owner of Patil Electric Works in Hubballi, means that it is not possible for the unit to meet 20% of its annual output.
The Association of President Greater Hubballi-Dharwad Industry RG Bhat said that the delay in the arrival of raw materials has produced many of their orders withdrawn.
“Efforts are being made to secure more orders.
The government must allow us to operate units with 100% labor, and consider limiting the number of business days a week,” he said.
The President of the Small Industry Association of North Karnataka N S Biradan believes that the condition of the MSME will only improve when the situation returns to pre-covid time.
