Sick industries: The reasons and remedies for it (A case study in Bangladesh)Masum Hussain
Small industrial units are the seedbed on industrial development in underdeveloped economy for its less capital involvement and more employment generation capability. But this sector cannot contribute expectedly for infection to sickness that ultimately prevents the entrepreneurial bases of economy. Sickness can be occurred in the inception period, in operation and /or in macro environment. Without the growth and development of entrepreneurship the development of country would always be unattained. It is a study through which we try to analyze the forces behind the spirit of entrepreneurship development. The study tried to explore the ambitions, compulsions, facilitations and expectations which lead them to industry, the idea generation process and motivators in that process of entrepreneurships and also the primary obstacles in entrepreneurships in Industrial estates. In this context an extensive survey is made and data have been collected from some entrepreneurs in five BSCIC industrial estate of Sylhet division in Bangladesh. From that study it is revealed that the leading ambition is making profits, compulsions are dissatisfaction in present job and unemployment and facilitating factors are technical skill and experience. The main source of idea is the entrepreneur himself and he is also the motivator in that process. Obstacle in emergence of entrepreneurship in industrial estates is revealed as the procedural hazards. Therefore it is suggested that proper counselling in presence of family members and minimizing the procedural hazards in facilitating supports should be emphasized in entrepreneurial development program. The problem of industries becoming sick, both in public and private sectors, has turned to be alarming in Bangladesh in recent years. Although the causes for closure or divestment might be many but in most of the cases continued loss played a major role. Thus the problem of industries becoming sick deserves to be treated more seriously at Government policy level as it is related to the national economy and development.
Income earned surreptitiously and not reported to the government in an attempt to avoid paying taxes on it is called Black Money. The presentation shows the Causes and Effects of Black Money in India.
Industrial policy is a document that sets the tone in implementing, promoting the regulatory roles of the government. It was an effort to expand the industrialization and uplift the economy to its deserved heights. It signified the involvement of the Indian government in the development of the industrial sector.
Certainly, here are six key responsibilities of the Competition Commission of India (CCI):
Enforcement of Competition Law: The CCI is entrusted with enforcing the provisions of the Competition Act, 2002, to prevent anti-competitive practices, ensure fair competition, and protect consumer interests in the Indian market.
Investigation of Anti-Competitive Practices: It investigates complaints and cases related to anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant positions by firms, and anti-competitive mergers and acquisitions to maintain a competitive market environment.
Review of Mergers and Acquisitions: The CCI reviews mergers, acquisitions, and combinations to evaluate their potential impact on competition in the market and prevent combinations that may significantly lessen competition.
Competition Advocacy: The CCI engages in competition advocacy activities to raise awareness about the benefits of competition, educate stakeholders about competition law, and promote a competitive market culture in India.
Guidance and Advisory Services: It provides guidance, recommendations, and advisory opinions to businesses, government agencies, and other stakeholders on competition-related matters, including compliance with competition law and best practices.
Market Studies and Research: The CCI conducts market studies, research, and analysis to assess competition issues, identify market trends, and propose policy recommendations to promote competition and consumer welfare.
These responsibilities collectively contribute to the CCI's mission of fostering a competitive market environment, promoting economic efficiency, and safeguarding consumer interests in India.
Introduction
The industrial policy means the procedures, principles, policies rules and regulations which control the industrial undertaking of the country and pattern of industrialization. It explains the approach of Government in context to the development of industrial sector. In India the key objective of the economic policy is to achieve self-reliance in all sectors of the economy and to develop socialistic pattern of society. The industrial policy in the pre-reform period i.e. before1991 put greater emphasis on the state intervention in the field of industrial development. These policies no doubt have resulted into the creation of diversified industrial structure but caused a number of inefficiencies, distortions and rigidities in the system. Thus during late 70’s and 80’s, Government initiated liberalization measures in the industrial policy framework. The drastic liberalization measures were however, carried out in 1991.
Industrial Policies Prior to 1991
Industrial Policy Resolution, 1948
The first important industrial policy statement was made in the Industrial policy Resolution (IPR), 1948. The main thrust of IPR, 1948 was to lay down the foundation of mixed economy whereby the private and public sector was accepted as important components in the development of industrial economy of India. The policy divided the industries into four broad categories:
(i) Industries with Exclusive State Monopoly: It included industries engaged in the activity of atomic energy, railways and arms and ammunition.
(ii) Industries with Government Control: It included the industries of national importance and so needs to be registered. 18 such industries were put under this category eg. fertilizers, heavy chemical, heavy machinery etc.
(iii) Industries in the Mixed Sector: It included the industries where private and public sector were allowed to operate. Government was allowed to review the situation to acquire any existing private undertaking.
(iv)Industries under Private Sector: Industries not covered by above categories fell in this category.
IPR, 1948 gave public sector vast area to operate. Government took the role of catalytic agent of industrial development. The resolution assigned complementary role to small-scale and cottage industries. The foreign capital which was seen with suspect in the pre-independent era was recognized as an important tool to speedup up industrial development

primary generic product (such as trucks, oil, grains), or sub-sub
primary generic product (such as pickups, gasoline, wheat) ... and
so on. Firms in the same industry are on the same side of the
market, produce goods which are close substitutes, and compete

The World Bank (1992) has provided a
working definition of industrial policy as
“government efforts to alter industrial
structure to promote productivity based
growth.”
Industrial policy is probably the most
important document , which indicates the
relationship between government and
business. 4
5. JUSTIFICATION
(why industrial policy exist)
• Correct the imbalances in the development of industries and helps
in bringing about a desirable balance and diversification in them.
• Prevent the wasteful use of scarce resources and direct their flow
in the most desirable areas of investment in accordance with
national priorities.
• Empower the government to regulate the establishment and
expansion of private industry in accordance with the planned
objectives.
• Prevent , through fiscal and monetary policies , the formation of
monopolies and concentration of wealth in a few hands so that the
evils associated with monopolies can be effectively curbed.
• Give guidelines for importing foreign capital and the conditions on
which such capital should be permitted to operate.

SCHEDULE A-: the industries the future development of which will
be the exclusive responsibility of the State .(17 industries)

19
20. Evaluation of the New Industrial
Policy
Positives of the new policy are:
• Delicensing of most industries will help entrepreneurs to quickly seize business
opportunities.
• Removal of controls under the MRTP Act will facilitate expansion and growth.
• There will be greater inflow of foreign capital and technology due to easing of
restrictions.
• Burden on the public sector will be reduced and reforms relating to the public sector like
transferring sick units to BIFR will help improve their performance.
• In case of women entrepreneurs, not only ten percent of the plots in an industrial but also
offering 5 percent additional subsidy subject to a maximum of Rs.5 lakh.
Watch- outs :
• The policy environment is much more conducive for both domestic and foreign
investment than in the past. However, a host of countries are now trying to woo foreign
investment with a much more conducive economic environment than in India. Also,
cultural factor do also tend to tilt the balance in favor of other nations.
• Further, foreign investors still regard the policy and procedural system in India confusing.
Rather many feel that policy and development environment in China is superior to India.20
21. Evaluation of the New Industrial Policy
This Policy has been criticized on the following grounds:
• It will lead to domination of MNC on the Indian Economy.
Threat from foreign competition due to cheaper imports and
inability to meet the challenge from MNCs due to their weak
economic strength vis-à-vis the MNCs. CII did raise the point
that we have moved away from too much protectionism to too
little protectionism.
• Trade Unions oppose the policy due to fear of unemployment
which may arise due to privatization.
• Distortion in industrial pattern would occur due to slow pace of
investment in few basic and strategic industries. Absence of a
mechanism would slow down the development of backward
areas.
• Government is silent about tackling the growing industrial
sickness. The Government has not announced a clear exit policy
for sick units.
21
22. Second Generation Reforms
The 1991 reforms have considerably helped in improving the
economic growth of the country. Yet much more needs to be done

• Indian firms to enjoy flexibility in entry and exit. Freedom to diversify
and close down unsuccessful units.
• Liberalize and move towards capital account convertibility.
22
23. Second Generation Reforms
C. High Growth of Agriculture:
• State to ensure that adequate investments are made in irrigation,
agricultural research, infrastructure and agricultural input.
D. Empowering the Poor:
• Integrate and consolidate anti poverty measures.
• Set up a system for old age security.
E. Human Development:
