Background Note
SIETI was originally set up as Institute of Small Industry Extension Training (ISIET) at New Delhi in 1960 by the Government of India (GoI) to help promote, develop and modernize small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the country. It was established to train officers of the central and state Departments of Industry to promote the growth of SMEs. In 1962, ISIET was converted into an autonomous institution for operational flexibility. It was sponsored by the Union Ministry of Industry and was renamed as Small Industry Training Institute (SITI). In the same year, the institute was shifted to Hyderabad. In 1970, SITI set up the Small Enterprises Documentation Centre (SEDOC). SEDOC was set up to collect information on the options available to SMEs for development and management of technology.
The information was collected from different sources worldwide and was processed into client-specific packages (Refer Exhibit I for the activities of SEDOC). In the initial years, SITI did some experiments on the practical applications of new concepts in entrepreneurship. Soon it began to share its experiences in the development of SMEs with other countries through international training programs. SITI's international training programs received financial support from international organizations such as UNIDO and ILO. In 1984, UNIDO recognized SITI as an institute of excellent performance under its "Centres of Excellence Scheme" and in the same year the institute was extended monetary support from the UNIDO.
In 1984, the SITI was renamed as SIETI. The vision of IETI was "to become a global center of excellence for creation, sustenance and growth of SMEs." Its mission was "to spearhead and work in areas of policy, entrepreneurship, technology, information, management and extension that impact SMEs growth and development." Though the primary objective of SIETI was to be the trainer of trainers, as a result of technological developments and rapidly changing market scenarios, it had widened its scope of activities. (Refer Exhibit II for objectives of SIETI).
SIETI offered the following services to its different clients:
• Training
