Management Development Programmes
Introduction
Management Development in SSIs has been identified as a crucial area of intervention for the
viability, competitiveness and profitability of SSI units especially in the context of present
economic transition when the market barriers are gradually being removed. SIDBI took initiativeto remedy the short-coming of HRD in SSI sector by launching two programmes namely SmallIndustries Management Programme (SIMAP) targeted at qualified unemployed as well as
industry sponsored candidates to provide low cost and competent managers to SSI units and
Skill-cum-Technology Upgradation Programme(STUP) for owners/managers of SSIs.
SMALL INDUSTRIES MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME Objective
The objective of SIMAP is to develop a cadre of industrial managers specifically trained to assist
the SSI entrepreneurs in their multiple responsibilities. It also seeks to open up new avenues of
productive employment for young graduates who are otherwise not professionally qualified.
Participants
This programme is targeted at unemployed non-technical graduates, diploma holders andindustry sponsored participants for management strengthening.

The programme is conducted in three phases, normally over a period of 14-18 weeks. The first
phase consists of classroom sessions for about 5-8 weeks. Inputs essentially cover information,
knowledge and skills pertaining to management of the SSI units. This is followed by the second
phase of 8 weeks wherein on-the-job practical training is provided in the SSI units. The finalphase of 1-2 weeks is basically a refresher / debriefing course before the candidates are awarded
their course certificates.
