led to shortages of most strategic inputs such as wheat, fuel, coal, electricity

economic survival strategies have been developed by the poor. Most of them are
in the informal sector like small-scale commercialization, cross-border trading,
small-scale manufacturing, small scale service provision, etc. There is widespread recognition of the importance
of Small and Micro enterprise development albeit formal or informal for employment
opportunities and income generation. Various actors and players support the SME
sector and there is great scope for capacity building of these players, especially
with Business Development Services and Micro-Finance.
