Survey about five small scale units in your vicinity and find out if they have received any assistance by the institutions setup by the Government.

Question

Accepted Answer

> [!TLDR]
> An open-ended survey project: visit about five small units and record whether each received help from bodies like NABARD, NSIC, SIDBI, KVIC or the DIC. The sample plan and table below show the shape your own survey can take — replace it with your real findings.

### What the project tests

The project checks whether you can connect the chapter's list of **support institutions** — NABARD, RSBDC, NSIC, SIDBI, NCEUS, RWED, WASME, SFURTI, the DICs, and schemes such as the KVIC's assistance — to real units, by finding out which of them actually reached the small businesses in your area.

### How to approach it

Identify about **five small-scale units** in your vicinity (they could be a food unit, a garment maker, a carpentry or metal workshop, a printing press, a handicraft/khadi unit, etc.). Meet each owner and ask a short, common set of questions so that the answers can be compared, then present them in a table.

### Sample questions for each unit

1. Name and type of unit, and product made.
2. Is the unit registered as a micro or small enterprise?
3. Did you receive any **financial assistance** (from a bank, SIDBI, NABARD, or a subsidy scheme)?
4. Did you receive **machinery on hire-purchase, raw materials or marketing help** (for example from the NSIC or KVIC)?
5. Did the **District Industries Centre (DIC)** help you with registration, feasibility reports, credit or training?
6. Did you receive any **training or skill-development** support?
7. In your opinion, was the assistance useful, and what more do you need?
