This study examines the issues and perspectives surrounding small-scale industries (SSIs) in Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, with a focus on identifying the challenges faced by these industries and the impact they have on the local economy. Small-scale industries play a crucial role in rural and regional development, providing employment opportunities and contributing to the economic stability of the region. However, despite their importance, SSIs in Chittoor face several hurdles, including limited access to finance, outdated technology, inadequate infrastructure, and issues with skilled labour.Through a combination of primary data collected from industry stakeholders such as owners, employees, and government officials, along with secondary data from reports and previous studies, this research identifies key challenges affecting the growth and sustainability of SSIs in the district. The study also explores the local government's role in supporting small industries, including policies related to subsidies, training, and infrastructure development. In addition to addressing these challenges, the research highlights potential solutions and strategies for improving the competitiveness and efficiency of SSIs. The findings provide insights into the practical implications of policies aimed at strengthening small industries, thereby contributing to regional economic growth and job creation.
