Published by: Empyreal Publishing House DEDICATED To My Grand Parents Beloved Parents S. Balu Rethinam V. Mary Victoriya (Late) & My Wife & Children’s Preface I am happy to be able to contribute to the emerging concept of entrepreneurship. The need of the hour in our country is to develop entrepreneurship. Our future lies in entrepreneurship. The unique characteristics of our country are huge population, vast country, dependence on agriculture and its allied operations in rural areas, high unemployment and under-employment among educated youth, low levels of literacy, diversity in religion, culture, long history, rich resources and multiplicity of language. People of our country are intelligent and talented. However they need to be encouraged and supported by government polices and programmes. They should be provided with opportunities, given confidence and courage to be on their own and perform. It is here, that students of a young age should get motivated to be job provides rather than job seekers. India needs entrepreneurs of different types and in large numbers. There is a strong correlation between entrepreneurial growth and economic growth. Growth in entrepreneurship will accelerate economic growth. I have to share my research experience of being an entrepreneur and with young minds. I have made an attempt to put before you, the relevant concepts, benefits, problems, issues of the subject matter and present step approach to become an entrepreneur. Hope Small Scale Industries Management: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities book will motivate the students to become an entrepreneur one day Author V Acknowledgements I owe to express my special gratitude to my beloved Parents, my Wife, my children and relatives for their benign support at the time of my career, research work and publication of book.
