District Industries Centres (DICs) were started in 1978 to provide integrated administrative and business support services to entrepreneurs at the district level. DICs aim to promote rural industrialization, economic equality, centralization of services, and develop entrepreneurial skills. They provide services such as assistance procuring plant and machinery, approvals, raw materials, certifications, credit, and marketing support. DICs also help identify business opportunities, facilitate registrations, offer interest-free loans, assist with government schemes, and provide outlets for product marketing. Each DIC is headed by a General Manager and supports the objectives of the Directorate of Industries.
