FOREWORD

From the desk of Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)

It is indeed a great pleasure to note the remarkable

work done by all our regional authorities in

implementation of the Niryat Bandhu Scheme during

the year 2014-15 and taking the programmes to the

doorstep of the exporters. All the stakeholders, namely,

Trade/Industry bodies, e.g., FIEO FICCI, etc.; State

Governments; Banks; Customs; Universities; etc., have

been partners in this achievement.

Through this scheme for mentoring the new and

potential exporters we should be able to facilitate entry

of new entrepreneurs and make a positive impact on

the export earnings of the country. This document

shares the glimpses of the initiatives taken during the

year.

Pravir Kumar, IAS

Observations of Additional DGFT.............

2014-15 has been the first year of implementation of

Niryat Bandhu Scheme. The Scheme, which was

implemented by different RAs at different locations

across the country, has given confidence that such

initiatives can be successfully implemented by RAs in

association with different stakeholders. RAs have made

substantial effort in its implementation which is

commendable. This document provides details of the

activities which may be a useful document for reference

and reaching out to the new exporters in a more

productive way.

It would be our endeavour to strengthen the Scheme

with the help of knowledge partners and industry

partners in the current financial year and subsequent

years.

SYNOPSIS OF THE SCHEME

The Niryat Bandhu Scheme was announced as part of Foreign

Trade Policy 2009-14 on 13th October, 2011 to focus on

mentoring the first generation entrepreneurs in the field of

international trade. While an overall allocation of Rs. 23.23 crore

has been made for the Plan period (2012-17), an amount of Rs. 2

crore was allocated for the financial year 2014-15.

The major components of the Scheme are us under:

Preparation and development of material for use of new IEC holders and its printing;

Training of new entrepreneurs (IEC holders) every month in each RA;

Training/meetings/seminars at towns of export Excellence on specific topic;

Seminars at industry associations, universities, management schools, etc.;

Capacity Building of ITS/DGFT officers; Development of Business Excellence Support Team

(DGFT-BEST).

Considering the strategic significance of small and medium scale

enterprises in the manufacturing sector and in employment

generation, 108 ‘MSME clusters’ have been identified, based on

the export potential of the product and the density of industries

in the cluster, for focussed interventions to boost exports. In

addition, 35 ‘Towns of Excellence’ have been taken for

outreach interventions under Niryat Bandhu Scheme.

During the year 2014-15, following achievements have been

FEW RESPONSES AND FEEDBACKS FROM BENEFICIARIES


DGFT


DGFT

Extracts from the feedback on the programmes received from Dr. Amiya Chandra, ITS, Jt. DGFT, CLA, New Delhi

“We found business management and finance students most receptive to our presentations. However, it must be pointed out that time slot available to us has been not more than 2-3 hours in each institute. During this time period, we were able to cover the basic concepts of the EXIM policy and overview of international marketing. It may be difficult for us to go deep into each topic like logistics, insurance, tariff and non tariff barriers, intricacies of international export markets and product development in addition to the EXIM Policy and Procedure.”

“During our presentations, we have had a privilege to interact with the faculties of the business management institutes. Some of the guest faculties have also been with us during our presentation in the past. Most of the management institutes have taken resource persons, who were serving in firms at some posts, rather than being full fledged academician. Hence we have serious limitation in selecting them as resource person due to their limited academic exposure. However this is a welcome initiative to associate knowledge partner in the respective regions with us, as it will be impossible for any RA to cover all the fields with clients needing different exposures in terms of items and markets of exports & imports.”

“While delivering lecture, we realized that every region had different focus in terms of exports like in Gurgaon, we had to concentrate on Apparel Exports; in Panipat on Made-ups ; in Jaipur for Handicrafts. Similarly different industrial clusters have different thrust area. It will be advisable, if we seek the name of knowledge partners from different agencies like IIFT, FIEO, CII, FICCI, Export Promotion Councils Territorial Division of the Ministry of Commerce, for delivering lecture on potential market and also from Universities like DU, JNU, IIFT etc. The work can be done by Hqrs or RAs as desired by the competent authority.”


DGFT

Extracts from the feedback on the programmes received from Jt. DGFT, Bangalore

“There is a need for such programs to help the newcomers into the

field of international trade. Apart from this, there is also a need to

develop a program on entrepreneurship development and

incubation for start-ups. Handholding and timely guidance/advice

goes a long way to help the new exporters in starting out with the

exports. Bangalore DGFT office has helped couple of such

exporters through active handholding in the recent times with

encouraging results. However, the amount of effort and time

required to give individual guidance to such exporters is high and

sometimes it becomes challenging with given workload. We need

dedicated teams with required experience, training and exposure

to take the lead in such activities.”

“The existing components are good enough. However, we need to

develop it further by taking the feedback we receive. Also the

programs should be broad-banded by including advanced module.

A generalised approach with focus on RA specific strengths (e.g.

Engineering, Textile, Agriculture and Pharma in case of Bangalore

needed).

“Lack of standardized training material is an issue. However, we

suggest that uniform training material be developed by HQs based

on RAs inputs from time to time in order to maintain uniformity

across the country. Also, a core team of experts on topics such as

WTO may be maintained at HQ (pooled from IIFT etc) who can go

around to different RAs to impart training to BEST team and to

conduct workshops/seminars on their topics of specialization. “

“It’s a good idea to include the EPCs working with clusters to liaise

with us. In fact, there is a synergetic relation of RA Bangalore

already with FIEO and other bodies in Karnataka. “
