Technology has become an essential tool for achieving competitiveness for the industry in today's business environment. Small & Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs) can hardly afford their own individual R&D and therefore, it is necessary to nurture and support SMEs by way of technological upgradation. In the present day scenario, where technological specialization has become complex and our industrial sector is not technologically strong, it is cost effective as well as time-saving for SMEs to make use of Networked Institutional Assistance rather than undertake in-house development of technologies. Such networking has become necessary in the present day because modern products and services have several multi-disciplinary technological inputs.
