The CII-Avantha Centre
for Competitiveness for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
was established in 2004 with the aim of creating
competitive and visionary SMEs. The Chandigarh-based
Centre offers consultancy services on a wide range of
critical issues such as manufacturing excellence, energy
management, cost management, human resource development,
etc. Although the Centre does provide services to
individual companies, it encourages the formation of
groups or clusters of SMEs. A number of companies, which
share the same location, sector or even OEM vendor, are
allocated to these clusters. This approach encourages
SMEs to form, share and draw from a common knowledge
pool. The Centre is also committed to helping SMEs
remain abreast of contemporary issues through seminars,
conferences and training programmes.
