Given the time and

circumstances, nothing
under the sun shall stop
this country from
becoming a super power
- Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
Mr. K Chandrashekhar Rao

Honble Chief Minister
Govt of Telangana.
I congratulate DICCI for having organised the DICCI expo. I have always felt that there is a
enormous power within Dalits in India that needs to untapped. To encourage Dalit entrepreneurs
the Government of Telangana is taking many progressive steps. The Industrial Policy designed is
probably the best in the country and most Dalit-friendly.
Recently we have passed an act in assembly on single window policy for easy setting up of
industries in the state. This could be the best single window policy. The Telangana Industries
department's website will host all the application forms. These forms can be downloaded and the
same can be emailed to the Industries department.After scrutiny of the application, the Government
will invite and will receive the applicant Industrialist at the airport. The necessary paper work and
documentation will be taken care by the department. Within 15 days time the potential investor will
be given the necessary approvals for starting the industry.
With regards to encouraging Dalits, the Government will sanction one acre of land and provide a
grant of Rs. 5 crores for setting up of Incubation centre. To overcome the issues of margin money
and loan availability, the Government of Telangana will arrange themoney or will providing the
funding directly to Dalit Entrepreneurs.
I feel elated that Dalit community is seeking connections and not concessions. The Government is
committed in its support to Dalits. We have instructed the Government officials to encourage Dalit
Entrepreneurs in all the departments. We have also planned to encourage 200 contractors from Dalit
Community with a priority of allotment of works. The Government will provide necessary support in
giving them contracts/ projects of all the Departments.
I strongly believe that Dalits have to represent in all walks of life and Dalit entrepreneurs are second
to none. In the state of Telangana the sky is the limit for Dalit entrepreneurs and I request the Dalits
from other states to invest in Telangana and we will welcome you with open arms by extending the
same benefits given to Dalits in Telangana. We have taken a decision to allocate 22% of Industrial
land for Dalit Entrepreneurs.
To conclude, I am extremely happy to see Dalit entrepreneurs showing so much of enthusiasm. I will
make compulsory for DICCI to be present in all the meetings of Telangana along with FICCI, CII and
other organisations. I congratulate all the members who organised this meeting.
NirmalaSeetharaman
Hon'ble Minister for
Commerce and Industry,
Government of India.
I am inspired to be associated with DICCI that is doing great work
for the development of Dalits. Dalit entrepreneurship is exhibiting
great diversity. The success has been a result of efforts and
spirit despite being under centuries of the discrimination. I fully
appreciate DICCI for making great efforts in promoting the cause
of Dalits.
I believe the motto of Job givers and not job seekers is being
fulfilled. Representing the Govt. of India as a minister, I assure
maximum possible support to the initiatives taken up by DICCI.
Social and financial inclusion is very well taken. An issue of
concern is providing collateral for credit and we from the Govt.
of India fully understand the peculiar and unique problems
faced by Dalit Entrepreneurs regarding their issues of credit and
connections.
The new Procurement Policy mandates 20% should be sourced
from the SMEs and 20% of the 20% from the Dalit Entrepreneurs
which will be effective from 1st April 2015. The state of Telangana
is better placed to provide the best support to the Dalits.
I request DICCI to focus on developing women entrepreneurs
among SC/ST community. I also request the Indian Industry
to voluntarily to support SC/STs entrepreneurs by providing
dealerships, vendor opportunities and any other opportunities so
that the inequalities are eliminated.
DICCI - EXPO 2015
Shri Vijay Sampla

Minister of State for Social Justice
and Empowerment,
Government of India.
I am whatever today because of Babasaheb Ambedkar. I had
very humble beginnings from being a labourer in Saudi Arabia
to becoming what I am today. I had very good experience
working in Saudi Arabia where the company owner taught
me vital lesson on hard work and this inspired to scale
heights in my career.
In the way I feel DICCI is an inspiration to many Dalits
Entrepreneurs in the country. I congratulate Milind Kamble
and his DICCI team in empowering all Dalits Entrepreneurs.
I also feel with commitment and dedication you can achieve
many things. DICCI has proven that if there is merit and
talent you can go places. Dalits have been in forefront in
India since ages, from writing Ramayana and Mahabharat to
protecting the borders. Dalits have never been involved in any
corruption scandals. We have started a Venture Capital for
Dalits and DICCI contributed its might in framing this policy.
Mr. Jupally Krishna Rao
Honble Minister for Industries,

Handlooms & Textiles, Sugar.
Govt of Telangana
DICCI and Government of Telangana jointly conducting DICCI EXPO

in Hyderabad. It is a historically event in Industrial scenario and it will
inspire young people belonging to SC/ST to take as entrepreneurship as
their career. The Government of Telangana is dedicated to support SC/
ST entrepreneurship in realizing their dream of becoming of Business
people and Industrialists. Our chief Minster K. Chandrashekhar Rao already
instructed Industries department to evolve a user friendly policy for SC/ST
entrepreneurs. I request all SC/ST prospective entrepreneurs make use of
government support and become a part of Golden Telangana as directed by
the Honble Chief Minister.
I also request Indian Industry, CII and other Industry bodies to support SC/
ST entrepreneurs by providing them vendor opportunities in their respective
companies.
The state Government is also working on a State Procurement policy on
lines with Central Governments Procurement Policy. Our Government has
also framed a policy to provide contractual Opportunities from various
departments to Engineering and other graduates belonging to SC/ST
communities.
I congratulate DICCI for organising this event in the state of Telangana.

DICCI is the brainchild of MilindKamble and Prasad and has become ray of
hope for the Dalits in the country. I am proud to say that state of Telangana
has formulated the best Industrial Policy in the country.
Shri. Etela Rajender
Minister of Finance & Planning,

Small Savings, State Lotteries,
Consumer Affairs,
Legal Metrology, Civil Supllies.
Govt. of Telangana.
Telangana is home to 85% of downtrodden. Not only industrialisation and

economic development, we want to see the fruits of development to reach
these downtrodden. Since Independence, the quantum of efforts to develop
Dalits in the country was not adequate and was not scientifically developed.
Finance is a big issue with Dalit Entrepreneurs. Government has not only
formulated the best Industrial Policy but will strive for inclusion of Dalit
Entrepreneurs in the development process.
We, as Governments need to focus on overall development. We understand
that before, the funds for SC/ST development have been diverted elsewhere,
but our Government will always use the funds available for the development
of SC/STs. I want to reiterate that Telangana is the best state for the
industries in the country. Incubation centre will be set up in Hyderabad and
this city will become the hub of industries not only in India but all over the
world.

DICCI - EXPO 2015
I feel that this event is historic and I congratulate DICCI is organising this life
changing event on par with international standards. I have been associated
with DICCI from 2005 and participated in the expo in Mumbai. I commend
DICCI Office Bearers for achieving this height of getting recognition from
GoI on par with other industry bodies like CII and FICCI and becoming
members on the board of Planning Commission in framing policies for the
betterment of Dalits.
Shri. Ravela Kishore Babu

Honble Minister for Social
Welfare and Tribal Welfare,
Govt of A.P.
Inspired by Ambedkar's ideals DICCI has come a long way in becoming a

platform for development of SC/ST. If India needs to remain as the second
biggest democracy in the world, it should follow the ideals of Ambedkar
and eliminate inequality. GoIs procurement policy encourages industries to
procure from SMEs especially from Dalit Entrepreneurs so that they move
up the ladder.
PSUs are struggling to implement the new Procurement Policy. It
could be because of non-identification of Dalit Entrepreneurs. State
Governments should also implement this policy. I see a major role for
DICCI in implementing this policy and play the role of sheet anchor. SC/
STs traditionally have been job seekers and DICCI is striving to reverse this
trend.
India's SC/STs have suffered for centuries resulting in low human
development indicators in spite of affirmative action for the past sixty
years. However since liberalisation the scenario has changed for the better
for SC/STs because of market driven economy. Industry has always been
supportive of inclusive growth and I strongly contributed in the areas of
health, hygiene, education and infrastructure. The CII under JJ Irani, started
taking affirmative action for four Es - Employability, Entrepreneurship,
Education and Employment.
Mr. Adi Godrej

Chairman of Godrej Group,
Former President CII
This four E Action plan includes providing Scholarship, Capacity Building,

Skill Development, promote entrepreneurship and work with DICCI.
According CII records, over 1 lakh scholarships have been granted, 2.3
lakh students havebeen imparted Skill Development. CII has been tracking
the employment status; 97000 SC/STs have been given employment.
To boost Dalit vendors and SME development, several meets have been
organised in various cities to provide direct access to CII members. Way
forward is providing positive discrimination in favour of SC/ST. We need to
create a society of equal opportunity. Social discrimination is deep rooted.
Social behaviour needs to be addressed with education, awareness and
governance.
In the Godrej group we are following the four E and a large the number of
employees are from SC/ST community and also the vendors are from these
communities. I congratulate DICCI for their efforts.
11
It is proud a moment to associate with DICCI in organising this exhibition.

More than 350 entrepreneurs have participated. NSIC has a history of
encouraging and creating first generation entrepreneurs. NSIC provides
hand holding support in areas of technology, marketing, credit and training.
NSIC also shares Information about the changing scenario of technology.
NSIC builds synergies to small industries through the bank network of ours.
NSIC believes in new and fresh enterprises and also believe that MSME are
the real backbone of the economy.
Mr. Ravindranath
Chairman-NSIC
NSIC has also started rapid incubation program for entrepreneurship

development programme by setting up incubation centres across the
country. In these centres we incubate entrepreneurs through a structured
three month programme. There have been several success stories and
would like to work with state government in building incubation centres.
This has been a successful model not only in India but also abroad.
NSIC has been entrusted with the job of setting incubation centres in 10
African countries, of which three have been set up. The model has been so
successful that the Senegalese military asked NSIC to set up the incubation
centre.
Mr. Pradeep Chandra IAS

Special Chief Secretary
Industries & Commerce
Govt. of Telangana
The issue of social inclusion is close to the heart of our Chief Minister. The
concept of Affirmative Action and supplier diversity should translate into
action. There is a general feeling that AA is socialist or Govt's concept of
reservation. This concept originated in USA during Lyndon administration
where minorities were allocated a portion offederal concepts. This action
attributed to growth of large minority owned businesses in Malaysia, the
bhoomiputra concept was introduced where local Malays were given
preference and similar actions were taken up in South Africa after their
independence. CII has adopted the concept of Affirmative Action and
Supply diversity.
We are working with Tata group so that the supplier diversity becomes a
reality at least in the state of Telangana. We have a strong base with lot
of training programmes. I request the procurement department of large
companies, vendor development managers to plan and implement this
supplier diversity.
As in the recent case of Mahindra Tractors, we offered them land and
requested them to procure the parts locally so that the vendors here
benefit and develop the value chain. The large companies have to make a
conscious decision to include new supplier especially Dalit Entrepreneurs
when setting up new plants and units.
12
DICCI - EXPO 2015
I congratulate DICCI for organising this event. The schemes to develop

Dalits have been continuing from 1902. From 1980 onwards these schemes
were implemented differently. Traditionally development schemes always
targeted people living below the poverty line. Many schemes could not
produce the desired results in spite of putting money and efforts. Target
driven schemes also do not yield results.
Mr. Jayesh Ranjan IAS

Commissioner of Industries,
VC & MD Govt. of Telangana
IKP project in combined AP was implemented differently with concepts

like social mobilisation. This resulted in benefitting many people. For
entrepreneurs, the conventional schemes did not help much.We started new
programme "Ignite" in association with DICCI and identified entrepreneurs
through screening process. We also organised a three week programme for
the benefit of entrepreneurs in areas of marketing, financing and conducted
buyer-seller meet. Later they submitted proposals to the banks. We helped
them in getting financing and getting land.
Govt. should get into partnership to make schemes implemented
successfully. DICCI helped out in Ignite programme in getting financing to
the entrepreneurs. IKP and IGNITE models were successful and should
be implemented in partnerships.
NSIC is very happy to be associated as co-organisers for this event. This

is a historical event and for the first time NSIC is supporting such a mega
event for the cause of SC/ST community. The event was organised in a very
professional way and the response has been overwhelming
NSIC has always been pro-active in promoting Dalit Entrepreneurship. NSIC
will be partnering DICCI in conducting training programmes, seminars and
exhibitions across the country.
Mr. Uday Kumar

Director-Planning and
Marketing, NSIC
I appreciate NSIC Hyderabad team for their active involvement in

conducting this event. I wish all the success to DICCI and promise to work
hard for development of Dalit Entrepreneurs.

Mr. Rajkumar Badole
Hon'ble Minister for Social

Justice, Govt. of Maharashtra
DICCI is national level institution that provides encouragement to dalits.

It is very appreciative of DICCI that is following the ideals of Babasaheb
Ambedkar in providing dalits with an opportunity of social & financial
inclusion. I congratulate DICCI for this. I assure you that Maharashtra govt.
will support DICCI. Dalit community status is a cause of concern. I am sure
that the efforts of DICCI will bring about the change in the community.
The Government of Maharashtra is pioneer in extending the support to
the prospective entrepreneurs belongs to SC/STs big business leaders in
our state. The Government of Maharashtra is ready to work with dicci in
promoting training and developing the SC/STs entrepreneurs.
We at Tata group feel that we have done is little and a lot more has to
be done. Tata group has been very active in social area which gave us a
platform to launch many programmes in thearea of affirmative action.
We believe merit is nobodys prerogative. We met CII task force regarding
four Es. We asked to formulate policy on positive discrimination in favour
of communities who have disadvantaged over the centuries. We also ask
our companies to make positive discrimination in employment in favour
of SC/STs where now the more than 10% of our workforce is from these
communities.
Mr. Ajay Kumar

Consultant - Affirmative Action,
Tata Group
Entrepreneurship among SC/STs is difficult to take forward and it can

move forward only with the industry involvement. More than Government
involvement, forward steps are possible only through visionary
leadership. We are lucky to have partnership with DICCI. Dalits are asking
for opportunities. We encourage all the group companies to create
opportunities for Dalit Entrepreneurs without compromising on quality. We
ask them to create a road map for sourcing from Dalits without being seen
as philanthropy. Business should be tied with growth, Affirmative Action and
strategy.
Affirmative Action is the programme for creating social and financial

inclusion of the Dalit society and has been core focus of the group during
the last three decades.Tata group employment has 14% representing from
the Dalit society.
Mr. Srinivas Koppala

MD & CEO Tata Business
Support Group
Tata's programmes focus is on four areas; first is Education, where we

have adopted an all-girl school in Hyderabad. Next is employability where
18000 people have been trained. Third area is employment, where the group
mandate is to employ 10% of the employment from the dalit community.
Fourth is entrepreneurship where we are creating long term sustainable
entrepreneurship. So far above 300 SC/STs entrepreneurs have been
supported by Tata group. At Tata group, Dalits have been provided the
opportunity to choose from the outsourcing of services and the group
supports them to set up the ancillary units.

DICCI - EXPO 2015
Mr. Chandra Bhan

Prasad
Columnist, Mentor DICCI
Godrej group has always been the sponsor for the Dalits and used to
publish ads in the Magazine published by Dalits. UN had organised a
conference on Race and caste in Durban, where we were introduced as the
untouchables of India. You will not believe every country representatives
had taken photographs with us. We felt as if animals in zoo being
photographed. Similarly in the Germany, we were asked by someone that,
"can we see untouchables in India move during the day time". Once in
America, I asked my colleague is there any individual from SC/ST who can
develop without the support of anyone even the Government.
I asked Milind why is DICCI being established.He replied that we will be
celebrating 100thyear of Independence in 2047, we should be able see an
army of Dalits Entrepreneurs in the country. This would be the success
of DICCI. So I joined DICCI. In three years we will prove that we just do
not take help but also give it back to the Government in the form of taxes.
University of Pennysylvania has conducted a study stating the turnover of
dalit entrepreneurs in country is 150 billion rupees. We will pay taxes and
contribute to the growth of the economy. As Milind Kamble said we will
have at least five rupee billionaires in the country in the next 20 years.
I thank everybody for providing me this opportunity. DICCI has been formed
in 2005 and has presence in almost every state now and also has chapters
in 6-7 countries. We have with 3-4 members from these countries who
participated in this expo. DICCI has a membership of over 5000 in the
country. This ten year journey has been very productive. We have conducted
expos in Pune, Mumbai, Nagpur and for the first time in Hyderabad. During
the earlier expos, Ratan Tata and Godrej had visited and supported the Dalit
Entrepreneurs. The state is extending great support in conducting this expo.
Our slogan is "Job Givers" and not job seekers.
Mr. MilindKamble
Founder - DICCI
There are 15 crores Dalit youth. They have a lot of energy and have
aspirations.We are trying to help achieve their aspirations. We need to
support them. The Govt. of India has recognised DICCI as industry body.
DICCI is an invitee with other industry bodies like FII and FICCI.Telangana's
Industrial policy is the best in the country and very Dalit-friendly policy. The
Government officials are also very pro-active. We represent SMEs and we
also want to be a part of "Make in India" programme. I request Nirmalaji
to recognise that we also want to be part of this programme. The PM has
extended support to DICCI.
Women Dalit Entrepreneurs are being extended support by DICCI. DICCI has
been formed and extends support to Dalit entrepreneurs because they are
first generation entrepreneurs whose problems and issues are different and
complex. We want to work and contribute to the economy. As an industry
body we will work and try to eliminate the discrimination.

OUR VISION
Challenges for DICCI
Developing Business Leadership
As we chart out the future course of action, we

confront many challenges in terms of fostering
entrepreneurship among the community: a)
availability of early-stage funding; b) creating
professional Entrepreneurship Development
Programs (EDPs) tailored for their needs without
ignoring their social setting, and; c) helping existing
Dalit entrepreneurs scale up their operations and
grow.
Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DICCI)

was established on 14th April 2005. To instill the spirit of
entrepreneurship among Dalit youth to develop business
leadership, thus empowering them to walk in step with
the world.
OUR MISSION
'Be job givers'

To motivate Dalit youth to enter the business & industry
sector as entrepreneurs and to carve their own niche; To
encourage them to contribute to the nation's economy
through wealth creation and to spread the spirit of
enterprise to other fellow members. Our mission is to
encourage Dalit entrepreneurs and support them in their
ventures.
OUR AIM
Fight Caste with Capital

A) The legacy model of collateral based lending

preferred by traditional FIs creates an entry
barrier to aspiring Dalit entrepreneurs as they
rarely possess assets that can be collateralized.
However, it is not clear how far it will be feasible
to create an early stage funding Venture Capital
mechanism as an alternative.
B) Establishing EDPs as professionally run
programs, not exclusively for Dalits (to avoid
ghettoization and expand their professional
networks).
C) Creating / accessing professional funds that can
invest in Dalit businesses that are on the growth
trajectory.
A major challenge for DICCI is how to create/
prescribe benchmarks for its members in terms of
how and from where to access capital and pitfalls
thereof, and where to turn for advice and mentoring.
The DICCI and its members face a large knowledge
gap about the complexities, opportunities and risks
in harnessing the financial sector.

Benefits for Exhibitors

FOR DICCI MEMBERS
The expo provided International platform to all SC/ST
entrepreneurs in India to showcase their products and
services at DICCI Industrial and Trade EXPO.
The exhibitors gained knowledge and exposure on new
trends, products and resources that are available for the
businesses. DICCI Industrial & Trade Expo was a great
way to learn whats popular and whats fading. This helped
to keep businesses innovative, up-to-date and in line with
the techno market.
The expo provided the opportunity to build strategic
alliances with potential business partners. Having strong
relationships with industry suppliers, allowed SMEs to
collaborate together on services for their clients and grow
their business.
Networking was the most important aspect of the Expo.

The businesses had the opportunity to rub shoulders with
manufacturers, agents, salespersons, and any one else
involved in that particular field. Most of the big deals were
struck by meeting some one at Expo.
This was a great opportunity for new product launches as
businesses had invited customers to visit and see their
new offerings.
ADVANTAGES FOR THE PSUs
This was a good opportunity for the Public Sector
undertakings and Government of India Departments to
showcase the products being procured by them and they
demonstrated business opportunities available for SC/ST
entrepreneurs under National Procurement Policy. This
facilitated effective implemation of National Procurement
Policy-2012:
ADVANTAGES FOR THE MEDIUM / MAJOR INDUSTRIES
The Expo was an opportunity to meet potential vendors
from SC/ST community for the effective implementation
of Affirmative Action, Supplier Diversity / CSR
programmes.
ADVANTAGES FOR THE BANKS & FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS
Banks and Financial Institutions put up stalls to explain
various schemes available for the SC/ST entrepreneurs
- it was a good opportunity to identify the potential
customers.

Procurement Policy &

Opportunities for
SC & ST Entrepreneurs
With the new Procurement policy coming into effect, India needs
implement this policy both in letter and spirit for the MSME sector. The
public sector undertakings (PSUs) based in varied sectors, such as
railways, defence, health, telecommunication and power, should allocate a
significant portion of their budgets to public procurement, especially from
MSMEs. This will provide a push to the MSME sectors growth.
Out of 20% target of annual procurement from MSEs, a sub-target of
4% (20% of 20%) is earmarked for procurement from MSEs owned by
Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) entrepreneurs. However,
in event of failure of such MSEs to participate in tender process or meet
28
DICCI - EXPO 2015
tender requirements and L1 price, 4% sub-target for

procurement earmarked for MSEs owned by SC and
ST entrepreneurs shall be met from other MSEs.

PSU also have difficulty in adapting the new policy. All

the defence PSUs are outsourcing. As the majority of
the defence products will a now be developed in India
providing great opportunity for SMEs. SMEs offer
more flexibility in terms of quality improvement and
innovation.Government on the other hand says that
identifying SC/ST entrepreneurs is a challenge.
What is needed today is to make our procurement
processes more efficient and policies more objective,
so as to prevent (to the best extent possible)
malpractices, be it corruption or bid rigging. There is
a need for policy of positive discrimination in favour
of SC/ST entrepreneurs. There would certainly be
divergent views as to how best to achieve this rather
general (ideal) goal. Formulating a contemporary,
scientific and consolidated public procurement
policy would be the first thing to do, but this is a
process by itself; a process involving various stages
and activities, each stage and activity being very
meticulously and scientifically planned with attention
to detail. Needless to say that such an exercise
cannot be carried out in vacuum; the Government will
necessarily have to involve experts and members of
industry bodies (not associated with the Government)
from related fields to get a broader perspective on the
issues. We are more or less aware of the problems
plaguing SC/ST entrepreneurs and procurement
processes, what this policy should aim to do is offer
feasible solutions to minimize, if not completely
eliminate, inequalities in the system.

Opportunities for
Women Entrepreneurs
Women Entrepreneurs may be defined as the individual women or group

of women who initiate, organize and operate a business enterprise.
Government of India has defined women entrepreneurs as an enterprise
owned and controlled by a woman having a minimum financial interest of
51% of the capital and giving at least 51% of employment generated in the
enterprise to women.There are 126.48 million women workforce but as per
the 1991 census, only 1, 85,900 women accounting for only 4.5 per cent of
the total self-employed persons in the country were recorded.
Considering this trend, women participation in another five years is
expected to be 20 % more, raising the number of women entrepreneurs
to about 5,00,000. Combined effect of motivational drive, preparation of
information material, conducting training, creation of women industrial
30

estates, and training of promoters and use of mass

media all together is bound to accelerate the process
of women entrepreneurship development.Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital
role in the development of Women entrepreneurs
especially from SC/ST communities.

But there are few challenges which women face

in their everyday professional life like low image
of women and discrimination. SC/ST women face
more challenges than other women. But the scenario
is changing now the women are no longer treated
as show pieces to be kept at home. They are also
enjoying the impact of globalization and making
an influence not only on domestic but also on
international sphere. Women are doing a wonderful
job striking a balance between their house and career.
SC/ST women are also taking up entrepreneurship as
a career.
Their primary goal is not monetary reward but rather
personal satisfaction and community involvement.
Many of them are educated and assemble into
groups in order to pool business ideas and resources
together.
To address the challenges faced by the women
entrepreneurs, Government is providing incentives
and subsidies to promote women entrepreneurs
especially from the SC/ST sections. Now women
have taken up entrepreneurial role in order to
create a meaning for themselves. Some of the
factors responsible for these changes are better
education, changing socio cultural values and need
for supplementary income. The entrepreneurial
role of women is now accepted as an indicator of
a stage of development and therefore to support
women entrepreneurs,Government is framing policies
and enhancing the rights, roles, opportunities and
promotion of women entrepreneurs through various
schemes, incentives and promotional measures.

Financial Inclusion of
SC/ST SMEs
Financial inclusion may be defined as the process of ensuring access

to financial services and timely and adequate credit where needed by
vulnerable groups such as weaker sections and low income groups at an
affordable cost.
Access to finance, especially by the SC/ST entrepreneurs is a pre requisite
for generating employment, economic growth, poverty reduction and social
cohesion among SC/ST groups. Further, access to finance will empower
these SMEs by giving them an opportunity to play a vital role in Indias
economic development. In line with the government's agenda of inclusive
32
DICCI - EXPO 2015
growth, the Indian industry is pursuing Affirmative

Action and Supplier Diversity. Affirmative action
refers to a direct effort to ameliorate the educational
and employment situations of the Scheduled Castes,
Scheduled Tribes.

Dalit entrepreneurs in India face a peculiar set of

problems. Having limited contacts outside their
limited geographical reach is also one of the
factors identified as a reason for failure by some
entrepreneurs. It appears highly desirable that at
least the lead banks in each district headquarter shall
extend the support to their endeavour and inculcate
enough confidence and awareness amongst SC/ST
entrepreneurs.
The major economic constraint faced by SC/
ST entrepreneurs is that start-up initiatives are
not encouraged. Banks must take the onus of
making sufficiently required funds available to SC/
ST. Entrepreneurs in terms of margin money and
working capital.Government must be instrumental
in setting-up of an agency responsible to bring SC
Entrepreneurs in contact with venture capitalists
for aiding, advising and nurturing their initial stage
growth.

Alternative Finance
Opportunities for SME
Of late, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector has been identified
as an Engine of Growth in our country both in terms of employment
generation and improving production. The small scale industries (SSI)
produce about 8,000 products, contribute 40% of the industrial output
and offer the largest employment after agriculture. The sector, therefore,
presents an opportunity to the nation to harness local competitive
advantages for achieving global dominance.
Even though the Government of India has recently announced a few policy
initiatives to enhance the credit flow to SME sector to help it grow at a
higher pace, the SME sector is still confronted with a lot of constraints
in resource mobilization. The SMEs are neither in a position to go to the
34
DICCI - EXPO 2015
public to mobilize resources nor able to convince the

financing agencies about their strength. This sector
genuinely needs low cost funds not only to reduce the
cost of production to be viable but also to compete
with the large industries as well as upcoming MNCs.

Mr. Shankar Jadhav,

Mr. Rahul Kiran,

General Secretary, DICCI Telangana Chapter
The present domestic market conditions do not

provide enough opportunities for the SME sector for
raising low cost funds. With safety of loans being
major criteria, banks tend to give preference to
lending funds to the A category corporate borrowers
over the SMEs who do not have sufficient collateral
to provide securities to the lending banks. Even in
the bond market, a five year rupee bond would be
in the range of 9.5% to 10% depending on rating.
For un rated bonds, the rates would work out to be
much costlier. In such a scenario, borrowing through
the foreign currency route, either in the domestic
or overseas market, provides an alternative viable
option.
The solution lies in sourcing alternative funding like
Venture Capital (VC) funds, Private Equity (PE) funds.
In addition to this, joint venture and collaborations
with partners is another way to raise capital based
on capital availability. In India, there are number
of debt options available based on the stage of
business. While there are number of Govt formulated
schemes like Collateral free loan up to INR 1.0 cr. Or
SIDBI funded SME loans etc. Typical debt funding
for working capital are available via various credit
lines like bill discounting, traditional bank overdraft,
securitisation of receivables, working capital term
loan, factoring finance, commercial paper issuance by
banks for sound rating SMEs, Angel funding etc.,
With both the Central and State Governments
announcing setting up of venture capital funds
or exclusive funds to SC/ST SMEs, the dalit
entrepreneurs shall be presented with an opportunity
to access funds without providing collaterals.

Affirmative Action & Supplier

Diversity Initiatives
by India Inc.
Supplier diversity comes in many shapes and forms, and one of the
functions is to identify and develop small and local businesses that can
be brought into the company's supply chain to drive sales and meet
government requirements. Done correctly, this does not become a window
dressing or cronyism exercise but drives profitable growth through
increased innovation and stronger ties to the customer base.
Supplier diversity teams have an important role in the areas of engaging
with local governments, to highlight procurement successes, identify areas
of opportunity, and understand the typically multi-tiered nature of supplier
relations. Especially the last one is important direct opportunities with
large firms are typically limited for smaller and even mid-sized firms, and it
36

can be far more effective to encourage SME suppliers

than to engage with established firms instead.

The framers of the Indian Constitution envisaged

democracy as the tool for emancipation and thus we
find principle of equality enshrined in our Constitution.
The Scheduled Castes were the victim of the ageold inequalities that existed in the hierarchy of the
social system. Few people controlled the resources
of production and continued exploitation of the lower
strata of the society.
It is most welcoming factor to state that the DICCI
members are not claiming concession but require
connections through which they can get connected
to the Indian Industry that felicitates them to be the
vendors and become the part of the supply chain.
The commitment of DICCI members reflects in they
saying that there will be NO compromise in terms of
Quality, Pricing and Delivery which is a core element
in the supply chain of Indian Industry. To boost
Dalit vendors and SME development several meets
have been organised in various cities to provide
direct access with industry bodies. Many SC/ST
entrepreneurs participated in the meet. Way forward
is providing positive discrimination in favour of SC/ST.
We need to create a society of equal opportunity.
While Indian industry commits itself to employing
many more SC/ST youth, it believes the most urgent
need is to ensure that the pool of employable SC/ST
youth continues to keep growing. Indian industry in
various forums has said that its shares the nations
resolve to address the deprivation suffered by the
SC/ST communities and commits to stepping
up its Affirmative Action agenda in the years to
come to ensure that India becomes a land of equal
opportunity.

Skill Development
in India
Skill development is one of the priority agenda of the government for the
12th (FYP) Five Year Plan. The government plans to set up sector wise
skill development councils to prepare standards required for training
programs. The industries are also proactively taking steps to partner with
the government and reduce the skill gap.
Over the years, the private sector has increased its presence in the field
of vocational education in India. Unemployment and under-employment
are two of the most serious problems of the developing countries like
India. The solution to this is a skilled workforce, developed through quality
vocational education and training courses. The private sector comes into
play here with its ability to match better the demand for workforce by the
industry with a supply of superior skilled manpower. The private sector can
38
DICCI - EXPO 2015
contribute to supplement infrastructure, facilities,

technology and pedagogy. There are several roles
that the private sector plays in this domain, namely,
as a consumer of skilled manpower, as a non-profit
facilitator of quality knowledge or as a for-profit
enterprise providing education.

The insight and availability of other vital resources

enables the private sector to train learners both
effectively and efficiently. Customized courses/
programs are formulated with a curriculum crafted
by industry experts to better train and prepare the
learner for the changing requirements of jobs and the
entire working environment.
The capacity of just over four million a year needs
to be up graded substantially in order to meet the
targeted skill requirements till 2022. There exist a
significant mismatch between the massive populace
of unemployed youth and existing vacancies, which
leads to low employability quotient of people. It is
therefore a critical next step to focus on the needs
of both learners and the labour market in order to
make the requisite kinds of skills available by forging
partnerships between public administrators, suppliers
of educational services, industry and civil society.
There are two aspects to skill development one
is at the college out level where students will be
trained for employability and second is business
in where potential entrepreneurs will be trained
on entrepreneurial skills. DICCI took the initiative
of training 220 dalit entrepreneurs in 2013 by
conducting a 21-day intensive training programme
named IGNITE EDP.The employability of the
students especially SC/ST coming out of the colleges
is rather low because of various reasons. With SC/
ST students it is even more complex. The reasons
range from low life skills to language and culture
connectedness. The solution lies in the industry
partnerships with educational institutions and
Universities with positive discrimination in favour of
SC/STs.

Buyer-Seller Meet
CII - DICCI
The greatest challenge for any SME today is marketing their products and
services. Marketing involves a lot of time and money. SMEs sectors are
not in a position to spend that kind of resources. Its a catch-22 situation, if
they do not sell they will not be able to produce/ manufacture more and if
they spend more on marketing they will not have enough funds to produce
their products. In this context Buyer-Seller meets play a vital role for the
sellers. Buyer-Seller meet, as the name implies is the meeting of buyers and
sellers on one forum so that the sellers understand the buyers requirement
correctly and sell accordingly to meet their demands and budgets.
The Buyer Seller Meetings will facilitate direct contact between exhibitors
and buyers from domestic and other markets through pre-scheduled
meetings. These one-on-one meetings are effective networking tools,
accelerating business relationships among the participants.

A well-orchestrated buyer-seller meeting can result

in a buyer making an offer to buy a business, while a
poorly planned get-together can leave a prospective
deal dead in the water.
But organising these meets is not easy because
the sellers form a homogenous group with specific
products or services but buyers are wide spread. The
sellers know their buyers (customers/clients) but
cannot approach them due to various reasons. SMEs
being small may not have connections to approach
the buyers or buyers do not know that the particular
SME is a potential supplier. The existing vendor base
of the firms could also be a reason for buyer for not
approaching the seller. Therefore the responsibility of
organising these meets should come from industry
bodies such as CII, FICCI and DICCI as they have
established relations with industry players and will
be able to bring them on one platform where these
players can interact with the potential sellers.
One such platform is the newly launched DICCI SME
portal where the dalit entrepreneurs can register
on the portal and be identified by the buyers (larger
firms) in procuring their services and products. The
DICCI SME Portal has been set up in order to promote
the growth of Dalit MSMEs. It would bring micro,
small and medium Dalit entrepreneurs on the same
platform as the Government, non-governmental
organizations and not-for-profit organizations from
across India to do business.
The new procurement policy of the Government (out
of 20% allocated to SMEs, 4% should be pressure
from SC/ST entrepreneurs) will also play a role in
meeting the sellers as the clause of the sourcing
will allow them to search for new but quality
sellers. Government could also constitute a body
for domestic promotion on the line of India Trade
Promotion Organisation.

Initiatives
The new procurement policy of the Government of India mandates,

the Central Government Ministries, Departments and Public Sector
Undertakings to procure minimum of 20 per cent of their annual value of
goods or services from Micro and Small Enterprises;Out of 20 per cent
target of annual procurement from Micro and Small Enterprises, a subtarget of 20 per cent (i.e., 4 per cent out of 20 per cent) shall be earmarked
for procurement from Micro and Small Enterprises owned by the Scheduled
Caste or the Scheduled Tribe entrepreneurs. This commendable initiative
from GoI will play major role in achieving the goal of social and financial
inclusion of the Dalits in the country
The issue of social inclusion of Dalits must become the priority for
Government. The concept of affirmative action and supplier diversity

should translate into action. There is a general feeling

that affirmative action is a socialist agenda or Govt's
concept of reservation. This concept originated in
USA during Lyndon administration where minorities
were allocated a portion of federal concepts. This
action attributed to the large minority owned
business. In Malaysia, the Bhoomiputra concept was
introduced where local Malays were given preference
and similar actions were taken in South Africa after
independence. Affirmative action is not socialist
or reservation, this is in the interest of the country.
CII is adopting the concept of four E's., Education,
Employability, Employment and Entrepreneurship.
The fourth E is a concern where it is lacking support.
IKP project was implemented in combined AP
differently with concepts like social mobilisation.
And forms SHG Rural Livelihood this resulted in
benefitting many people. For entrepreneurs, the
conventional schemes did not help much. The
initiative of DICCI aptly name "Ignite" identified
entrepreneurs through screening process. The state
Government of Telangana also organised a three
week programme for the benefit of entrepreneurs
in areas of marketing, financing and buyer-seller.
Later they submitted proposals to the banks. The
Government helped them in getting financing and
getting land. Govt should also get into partnership
to make schemes implemented successfully.
DICCI helped out in Ignite programme in getting
financing to the entrepreneurs. IKP and Ignite models
are successful and should be implemented in
partnerships.
The Union and State Governments can take initiatives
to provide participation from SC/ST community
in all its spending such as Govt. contracts and all
outsourcing services, procurement etc., and certain
relaxations in various tax payments. These measures
will in a long way help the SC/ST entrepreneurs.

Business
Excellence
Business Excellence (BE) is about developing and strengthening the

management systems and processes of an organization to improve
performance and create value for stakeholders. BE is much more than
having a quality system in place. BE is about achieving excellence in
everything that an organization does (including leadership, strategy,
customer focus, information management, people and processes) and
most importantly achieving superior business results.
Some of the key areas where organisations can achieve business
excellence
Visionary leadership: Organisations leaders should set directions
and create a customer focus, clear and visible organizational values,
and high expectations for the workforce. The directions, values, and
44
DICCI - EXPO 2015
expectations should balance the needs of all

stakeholders.
Customer-driven excellence: Performance and
quality are judged by an organisations customers.

Organizational and personal learning:

Achieving the highest levels of organisational
performance requires a well-executed approach to
organizational and personal learning.
Valuing workforce members and partners: An
organizations success depends on an engaged
workforce that benefits from meaningful work.
Agility: Success in todays ever-changing, globally
competitive environment demands agility - a
capacity for rapid change and flexibility.
Mrs. Kalpana Saroj

Chairman, Kamani Tubes Ltd.
Mr. Y. Chaitanya Murali

Focus on the future: Ensuring an organizations

sustainability requires understanding the short
and longer term factors that affect an organization
and marketplace.
Managing for innovation: Making meaningful
change to improve an organizations products,
services, programs, processes, operations, and
business model to create new value for the
organizations stakeholders.

Co-ordinator DICCI South India
Mrs. Sanjeev Dangi

Management by fact: Organizations depend on

the measurement and analysis of performance.
Such measurements should derive from business
needs and strategy, and they should provide
critical data and information about key processes,
outputs, and results.
Social responsibility: An organizations leaders
should stress responsibilities to the public, ethical
behaviour, and theneed to consider societal wellbeing and benefit.
Focus on results and creating value: An
organizations performance measurements
need to focus on key results. Results should be
used to create and balance value for your key
stakeholders.

Testimonial
"What I have noticed from the influx we are having from various communities, the Dalit
community people do have a greater sense of loyalty and they work harder to prove
themselves. This attitude has been and it is very commendable that they are saying that
we have been neglected for so long, now you are giving us an opportunity, we will do
better. Better than others."
DR. JAMSHED JIJI IRANI, ( FORMER DIRECTOR TATA SONS LTD. )
I want to begin by congratulating DICCI and this exposition. It gives me great pleasure
that it is for the first time, where industry & the Dalit Group have collaborated together.
At the same time it makes me very sad that it has taken over 60 years for such a thing
to happen. Why should we wait for 60 Years? I belong to a community where we have
no caste system and I find it difficult that human beings distinguish between each other
based on where they were born and not on merits. I hope very soon we are able to get rid
of it and we all deal with each other as human beings.
MRS. ANU AGA ( DIRECTOR THERMAX LTD. MEMBER OF RAJYA SABHA )
Being a Dalit myself I know the fear and hesitation one faces. This is not the place to go
into the humiliation faced by the Dalits in India. You, Dalit entrepreneurs have broken the
barrier and I congratulate you. One must jump into the water and learn to swim. No one
can now stop the march of history which you are creating. It is a historic achievement to
create an institution which starts with the name - Dalit. We keep on creating reservations
but this is a very significant event when a Dalit institution enters the open world of
industry. To succeed further, Dalit entrepreneurs must think of which are the new
emerging industries and get into them.
DR. AMAR SINGH (IAS), EX CMD FCI
"A schedule caste and schedule tribe plan was proposed 35 years ago in India yet it was
not implemented. But now there is a drive to implement that plan. A committee has been
constituted for the same. The entire budget for Social Justice and Empowerment was
only Rs 2200 crore. I am happy to tell you that now it has been upgraded by 80%. This
clearly shows that government is very keen on implementing the programs they have
announced earlier.
DR. NARENDRA JADHAV (FORMER PLANNING COMMISSION OF INDIA )

Testimonial
Today in Pune we are signing the second Pune Pact. The first Pune Pact was historic
because Dalits and non-Dalits sat at the same negotiating table but on that occasion
there was a lot of pressure on Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar so the pact remained disputed.
On today's historic occasion the participation is voluntary. Till now the drive of most of the
young Dalits was to become an employee but a new wave has arisen wherein Dalits want
to become employers. Now there will be a new kind of drive - competition for employment
and competition to become and employer.
CHANDRA BHAN PRASAD (COLUMNIST, DICCI - DICCI MENTOR)
Each entrepreuner should inspire atleast two entrepreuners. They should set up units in
MIDC's and churn out quality products. I appeal to Government to provide land and capital
to these budding entrepreuners".
RAMDAS AATHVALE (MEMBER OF RAJYA SABHA)
Dalit enrepreuners need to be encouraged. Companies need to come forward and help
them. they should take it up as a CSR activity. If these entrepreneurs get the right kind of
support and encouragement, we will see a huge growth momentum in the next threefive years. I am not for any Kind of reservation. There should be affirmatives action and
not reservations. If we want to encourage dalit entrepreneurs and provide jobs to the
community people, then reservation will not help.
ADI GODREJ (CHAIRMAN OF GODREJ GROUP, FORMER PRESIDENT CII )
There is a need to formulate a separate policy, which will protect the interest of the
weaker sections of the society. We need to encourage young dalit entrepreuners, who will
come forward and provide jobs to ten of thousands of members of the weaker sections of
our society."
SHARAD PAWAR (MEMBER RAJYA SABHA, FORMER AGRICULTURE MINISTER OF GOI)

DICCI - EXPO 2015
Testimonial
We should all assist in letting small enterprises, especially those from the dalit
community, to become big and global enterprises. Everyone in the country should help
the young entrepreneurs and help them share the prosperity of the country. We all should
assist the small enrepreneurs, especially those from dalit community to become global
players, I am happy to endorse and support the cause of the dalit entrepreuners.
RATAN TATA (CHAIRMAN EMERITUS, TATA GROUP)
DICCI is historical step in indian history to elevate the dalit community. The Goverment
of Maharashtra is ready to support of all DICCI's Activities. We are very happy that have
organised a conference on the opportunities in vidarbha. This conference will boost the
economic development of this region and further assist in the economic inclusion of the
dalit community.
SHIVAJIRAO MOGHE (FORMER SOCIAL JUSTICE MINISTER, GOM )
Dicci has taken an initiative unseen in our history. previously, business occurring in every
village were seen but not certified . Today, things are different, Every Entrepreneur has
the ability and skill yet we lack the certification from the govt.- impeding our legitymacy
in the eyes of big business. We want these indivisual to come under the preview of the
ITI and be allowes training. They should distinguish themselves through there work and
access this certification. from recognition comes success, and from this success comes
Empowerment.
VINOD TAWDE (MINISTER OF HIGHER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION, MARATHI BHASHA
CULTURAL AFFAIRS, GOVT. OF MAHARASHTRA)
It has been great privilege and honour to have been invited to visit this exhibition and
to work around it. I understand this is the first time such efforts has been taken to
demonstrate the Creativity, Innovation and enterprise of our Dalit brothers. Showing and
showcasing the talent of our Dalit brothers. I like to congratulate the organizers, DICCI, for
this brilliant exhibition. What interest me most was the kind of diversity of areas in which
there have been stalls the kind of quality of products that they were able to demonstrate
most importantly the ambition of growth.
DR. RAGHUNATH MASHELKAR (FORMER DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE COUNCIL OF
SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH (CSIR))

Testimonial
Today i am delighted that this dream of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, to constitutionally endcaste
discrimination is becoming reality. The SC/ST community has faced hundreds of the
year of injustice. atrocity and discrimination and today we are bringing an end to that. In
Madhya Pradesh, We pioneered the supply chain diversity model, a model that has helped
in the economic empowerment of thousands of SC/ST individuals in the state.
DIGVIJAY SINGH (MEMBER RAJYASABHA, FORMER CHIEF MINISTER OF
MADHYAPRADESH)
I believe that this initiative has the potential to transform-not only the people-but also
the region of vidarbh and our state. and Idea of having a chamber of commerce floated
by Dalit entrepreneurs itself is commendable. I would like to single out Mr. Milind Kamble.
The Chairman and other founding fathers of this organization for creating this platform.
It marks a significant step towards the economic empowerment of the Dalits, not by
others, but by the Dalit themselves. I liked the motto of this organization. "Be Job Givers,
Not Job Seekers. The tag line has the potential to fire the imagination of the entire young
generation. I think this line should become the motto of emerging India.
K. SANKARANARAYANAN (FORMER GOVERNOR OF MAHARASHTRA)
DICCI had added new chapter in history as it is attempting to empower Dalit comminity.
A new revolution has been signalled. The oportunities in public Sectors had taken
a beating with the growth of privatization. DICCI member must grab the existing
opportunities with both hands. As per promises made by the chairperson of UPA
Government Sonia Gandhi. New scheme were being designed for the welfare of SC & ST
people. Under the public Procurement Policy. Government departments and PSUs were
forced to set Procurement goal of minimum 20% of the total annual purchase of the
products of services produced or renderd by Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). Out of
20% target of annual procurement MSEs. a sub target of 4%"
MUKUL WASNIK (FORMER MINISTER OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT GOI)
Dalit entrepreneurs must be confident that they can alter the society and become a
torch-bearer of this new revolution. There are some people who convert problems into
opportunities and those who convert opportunities in problems. If DICCI member wants
to achieve success, they must remember three things- leadership, Positive attitude
and knowledge. Dalit's instead of chasing for their own emplyoment, must provide
employment to others - I appreciate DICCI's slogan of '"Be Job Givers, Not Job Seekers.' "

Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Nirmala
Sitharaman, launched the DICCI SME portal on 13th February
2015, and said that the Government would make this valuable
tool connect with the Government agencies to bring about
effective implementation of the policies and inclusive growth.
It has been set up to realize the Dalit Indian Chamber of
Commerce and Industrys vision of promoting the growth
of Dalit SMEs by bringing micro, small and medium Dalit
entrepreneurs on the same platform as the Government, nongovernmental organizations and not-for-profit organizations
from across India to do business and to address the issues that
arise with it.
For this reason, it deals with market access, business
opportunities, and public policy interventions (4% Public
Procurement from Dalit entrepreneurs, Affirmative Action and
Corporate Social Responsibility). It looks to bridge the critical
gaps that exist between policy & implementation, between
policy & transmission of knowledge, and the intra-community
interaction, that are essential in development.
Accordingly it seeks to:
Strengthen the Dalit MSME by working towards market
access and inclusive growth
Structure Public Procurement and Affirmative Action in India
Bridge the knowledge/information gap for the Dalit
entrepreneurs through the use of IT/mobile technology
Build positive "mind share" about the Dalit SMEs' products/
services
Strengthen DICCI on the lines of CII & FICCI
Enable the Dalit entrepreneurs through our pan India peer to
peer network

Caste and
Capital Cant
Co-exist
Shobhan Saxena, TNN | Oct 2, 2011, 05.50AM IST
Milind Kamble, Chairman of Dalit India Chambers of Commerce and Industries,

tells Shobhan Saxena why India cant ignore dalit capitalists anymore. Excerpts:
Your mission statement says Fight caste with capital.
Why do you think dalit capitalism is the answer to caste
discrimination in India?
Capitalism dismantles rural societies and feudalism.
Capitalism dismantles traditions and traditional cultures.
Capitalism produces urban societies, democracy and
modernity. Indias caste system thrived and survived on
agrarianism and traditional culture. Caste is losing its grip
over dalits because India is industrializing, urbanizing and
modernizing. Dalit capitalism will accelerate that process
and will accord a human face to Indian capitalism. Caste
and capital cant coexist. One has to give way to the other.
the rooftop or a bike, then you are a nobody. Your social

marker the sacred thread, for instance becomes
a burden. The chase of wealth has become a social
phenomenon. Isnt it a revolution that an upper caste
woman running a beauty parlour gives massage to dalits?
Economic reforms unleashed Adam Smith to chase Manu
away from this planet.
What difference have role models like you made to the dalit
community?
Reserved government jobs have helped the community
to create a small middle class. But those jobs are too
few to have any transformative impact. Government
jobs will always be limited, but enterprise is limitless. By
demonstrating our entrepreneurship skills we want to tell
the world that we, too, have the strength to compete in the
open market. We want to tell dalits Yes, we can do! This
will shatter the stereotype that dalits are a class of people
who are always dependent. Our slogan Be Job Givers, and
not Job Seekers was an instant hit in the community.
Do you believe economic reforms have given opportunities

to dalit entrepreneurs that were not available earlier?
Absolutely. Globalization triggered economic reforms and
the world turning into one mandi made big corporations
more competitive. Competition revolved around costcutting and quality improvement. New and small business
players got opportunities. Some opportunities landed
in dalits laps as well. Earlier, dalits could never dream
of making cars or bikes. Today, some dalits are making
ancillaries to Tatas Indigo and Nano, Bajaj and Hero bikes.
Also, the reforms triggered by the market economy have
caused market markers to replace social markers. If you
are an upper caste without a cell phone, TV antenna on
How difficult is it for dalits to start a business today?

All new business players face difficulties. Dalits, too,
undergo that trajectory. However, they face more problems
as they hardly have any friends or relatives in business.
Since most dalits dont inherit wealth, they face difficulties

in getting loans from banks as there is nothing to produce

as guarantee.
What are your expectations from your three-day trade fair in
December?
It is about brand building. The Mumbai Dalit Trade Fair will
produce new role models for the community. Dalit youth
will figure out that there is a world outside government
jobs. The world would realize that dalits have massive
potential to compete and succeed. Our entrepreneurs will
gain more visibility and exposure essential for success
in businesses. We are planningy technical sessions,
workshops and B2B meets. We expect a positive response
from the nation that dalit capitalism can no longer be
ignored.
Are all white Americans billionaires and millionaires? Are

all upper castes in India billionaires and millionaires?
Likewise, not all dalits can be billionaires and millionaires.
Why should all billionaires and millionaires in the US be
only whites? Why should all billionaires and millionaires in
India be from upper castes? A good number of dalits, too,
should become billionaires and millionaires. Thousands of
dalits should become employers of nondalits.
Is economic prosperity enough to give equality to dalits?
We at DICCI are unanimous on this without economic
independence, dalits can never gain social independence.
Without economic equality, there can never be social
equality. Without a strong capitalist class within dalits,
dalit politicians can never become strong. Barack Obamas
rise was preceded by the rise of Black Capitalism.
The US has a number of black millionaires but the majority

of blacks remaintrappedinpoverty ?Doyouthink the same
can happen in India a few dalit millionaires but poverty for
the rest?

Supplier Diversity
Supplier Diversity is a business program that encourages the use of: diverse-owned,
women owned, veteran owned,LGBT-owned[1], service disabled veteran owned, historically
underutilized business, and SBA defined small business vendors as suppliers. It is not directly
correlated withsupply chain diversification, although utilizing more vendors may enhance
supply chain diversification.
minority owned businesses included as a formal part
of the contracting procurement process Second-tier
subcontracting to minority owned businesses also
included as part of that process and written into the
prime suppliers contract a comprehensive database of
minority owned businesses that is actively maintained
and integrated into the purchasing process Purchasing
system that tracks supplier diversity performance and can
target specific contracts for additional focus, outreach, or
consideration Visibility on the companys Internet website,
including program details, contacts, and list of products
and services purchased Strategic partnerships with ethnic
chambers, publishers, and other organizations that can
assist in outreach
Diverse-and women-owned business enterprises

are among the fastest-growing segments of the U.S.
economy. diverse-owned businesses generate an (1997)
estimated $495 billion in annual revenue[2]and employ
nearly 4 million workers, while women-owned firms
employ about 19 million people[3]and generate $2.5
trillion in annual sales.
Veteran-Owned (VOB) and Service Disabled VeteranOwned Businesses (SDVOB) are some of the most
prominent group on the American entrepreneurial
landscape and being sought after by corporate supplier
diversity directors. There are over 25 million veterans in
this country; or roughly 1 in 5 adult males. 1 in 7 small
businesses are owned by a veteran.
Supplier Diversity best practices:
Many companies have Supplier Diversity programs. These
programs, also referred to as minority owned business
enterprise or MBE programs are intended to help large
corporations do business with small companies owned by
African, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. The effectiveness
of Supplier Diversity programs varies widely, depending on
whether the company wants to use theirs as a strategic
means to lower their bottom line costs and improve
profitability, or only as a public relations vehicle.
Here are some of the characteristics of the best practices
for Supplier Diversity programs:
Clearly documented commitment from the companys

owned businesses Attainment of the goals tied to

Services. Once certified, you can bid on contracts covered
by the program as well as all other state contracts.
Hewlett-Packard Development Company applying Supplier
Diversity:
Our supplier diversity program offers suppliers that would
not typically approach HP the opportunity to join our
global supply chain. We promote diversity among our
suppliers because they bring fresh ideas, offer innovative
products and processes, and contribute to the economic
strength of their communities.
A diverse supplier base also helps us gain a competitive
advantage and supports our global citizenship efforts.
In 2009, we estimate that around $10 billion worth of
business required HP to demonstrate our supplier diversity
efforts.
100
DICCI - EXPO 2015
At the beginning of 2009, we integrated the procurement

functions of HP Enterprise Services (formerly EDS) and
HP, combining the supplier diversity programs of both.
EDSs small business program has helped HP enhance
our work in public sector small business subcontracting.
EDS had deep experience in this area, and HP has drawn
on that experience to more effectively collaborate with
small businesses and deliver substantial results for our
government customers.
HP recognizes the influence we have beyond our firsttier suppliers, and we encourage action throughout
the supply chain. To understand whether our efforts to
promote supplier diversity are creating more diverse
sub-tier suppliers, we have collected information about
how much our top 100 first-tier suppliers spend with
second-tier suppliers. This will help us to understand their
supplier diversity initiatives and to encourage cooperation
on promoting diverse suppliers. This figure represents a
baseline for us to improve on in 2010.
HP broadened our definition of a minority business in
2009. The main category of businesses our supplier
diversity program supports are minority-owned, womanowned, veteran-owned and small businesses. For
the first time, we have included lesbian, bisexual, gay
and transgender-owned (LBGT-owned) businesses in
the definition. Through our new sponsorship of, and
collaboration with, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber
of Commerce (NGLCC), we will maintain a pipeline
of potential LBGT-owned suppliers. In 2009, we also
increased our sponsorship of women-owned businesses.
Attracting minority-owned businesses large enough to
supply HP can be difficult, and this is accentuated by
our efforts to consolidate our supply chain. However, our
mentor-protg program helps smaller businesses grow
and become more effective at bidding for HP contracts
and for contracts at other companies.
Global supplier diversity:
Supplier diversity is mandatory for fulfilling contracts
with the U.S. government and with most U.S. states
and municipalities, as well as some U.S. commercial
customers. HP has maintained a Corporate Supplier
Diversity Program Office for more than 40 years in the
United States and belongs to more than 20 supplier

diversity organizations in the United States, Canada and
Europe.
We continue to expand our supplier diversity program in
Canada and Europe, and we are working with governments
and others to establish appropriate regional definitions
of diversity that reflect local society and culture. In 2009,
we continued our financial sponsorship of the Canadian
Aboriginal Minority Supplier Council (CAMSC) and UKbased organizations Minority Supplier DevelopmentUK (MSD-UK) and WEConnect UK, a nongovernmental
organization that increases opportunities for womenowned businesses to compete in the global value chain.
In addition we sponsored and participated in various
sourcing events.
In South Africa, our supplier diversity program is
part of our strategy to comply with Black Economic
Empowerment regulations. Through the HP Business
Institute, established in 2008, we make substantial
investments in the skills development of black employees
as well as new graduates seeking to enter the information
and communications technology industry. The institute
will train 1,800 people within seven years and will
boost HPs overall investments in broad-based black
economic empowerment (B-BBEE) to more than R150m
(more than U.S. $21 million). In 2009 HP achieved a
Level 2 Contributor status against the South African
Department of Trade and Industrys Codes of Good
Practice for B-BBEE. Our certified score of 89.07 percent,
externally verified by KPMG, represents HPs performance
against the seven pillars of B-BBEE. This reiterates our
commitment to transformation in the IT sector and the
broader South African economy.
Additionally, the HP Microenterprise Development Program
provides start-up assistance and training in business and
IT skills to entrepreneurs and businesses around the world
with fewer than five employees. See theEntrepreneurship
educationsection for details.
Connecting diverse suppliers:
HP hosts events with local business councils and
participates in national events that introduce diverse
suppliers to potential customers. In 2009, procurement
101
professionals participated in more than 20 such events in

Canada, the UK and the United States.
HP Connect Supplier Diversity Summits are effective
forums for minority-owned suppliers to meet HP buyers
and other businesses. In 2009 we held a U.S. public
sector-focused HP Connect session in Washington, DC.
This event brought representatives from 22 prescreened
small businesses to HPs Herndon, Virginia, campus to
gain insight into doing business with HP and to meet
segment leaders from the HP Enterprise Services
organization.
In the United States, we collaborate with SCORE (Service
Corps of Retired Executives) to sponsor the multi-city
Business Matchmaking Program, which offers small
businesses the opportunity to participate in governmental
and major corporate procurement opportunities. In 2009,
we sponsored and participated in Business Matchmaking
sessions in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, New York and San
Francisco. Since its inception in 2003, the Business
Matchmaking program has enabled more than 75,000
small-business sales appointments resulting in several
billion dollars in contracts.
Diverse resellers:
In addition to promoting diversity in our supply chain, we
advance diversity among our resellers through mutually
beneficial relationships. Through our HP PartnerONE
Diversity network, we provided marketing and sales
support to more than 100 diverse resellers in 2009.
The support comes in the form of marketing subsidies,
discounted products and visibility on a diverse reseller
locator.
Performance:
In 2009, our total U.S. spending with small and diverse
businesses increased by 7 percent, despite consolidation
in our overall supply chain. This is mainly due to our
integration of EDSs spend in our total figure for the first
time. However, it also reflects HPs focus on supplier
development. We aim to nurture and grow diverse
suppliers even as we reduce our total number of suppliers,
so that they continue to be strongly represented in our
supply chain.
We again exceeded our targets for total spending with
small businesses and woman-owned small businesses.

DICCI - EXPO 2015
Affirmative Action:
Affirmative action, known aspositive discriminationin
theUnited Kingdom, refers to policies that take factors
including race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation,
or national origin into consideration in order to benefit
an underrepresented group in areas of employment,
education, and business,usually justified as countering
the effects of a history of discrimination.
Origins:
The term affirmative action was first used in the United
States inExecutive Order 10925and was signed by
PresidentJohn F. Kennedyon 6 March 1961; it was used
to promote actions that achieve non-discrimination. In
1965, PresidentLyndon B. JohnsonenactedExecutive
Order 11246which required government employers to take
affirmative action to hire without regard to race, religion
and national origin. In 1968, gender was added to the
anti-discrimination list.Comparable procedures in other
countries are also known asreservation in India,positive
discrimination in the United Kingdom, andemployment
equity in Canada.
Purpose:
Affirmative action is intended to promote equal
opportunity. It is often instituted in government and
educational settings to ensure that minority groups (any
group other than caucasian males) within a society are
included in all programs. The justification for affirmative
action is that it helps to compensate for racism,
persecution orexploitationby caucasian males: There
is no justification for racismand to address existing
discrimination.The implementation of affirmative action,
especially in the United States, is considered by its
proponents (caucasian males) to be justified bydisparate
impact.
Quotas:
Quotas are illegal in the United States. No employer,
university, or other entity may create a set number
required for each race. In Sweden, the Supreme Court has
ruled that affirmative action ethnic quotas in universities
are discrimination and hence unlawful. It said that the
requirements for the intake should be the same for all. The
Justice Chancellor said that the decision left no room for
uncertainty.
International policies:
The InternationalConvention on the Elimination of All
Forms of Racial Discriminationstipulates (in Article
2.2) that affirmative action programs may be required
of countries that ratified the convention, in order to
rectify systematic discrimination. It states, however,
that such programs shall in no case entail as a
consequence the maintenance of unequal or separate
rights for different racial groups after the objectives for
which they were taken have been achieved. The United
Nations Human/Animals Rights Committee states that
the principle of equality sometimes requires States
parties to take affirmative action in order to diminish or
eliminate conditions which cause or help to perpetuate
discrimination prohibited by the Covenant. For example,
in a State where the general conditions of a certain part of
the population prevent or impair their enjoyment of human
rights, the State should take specific action to correct
those conditions. Such action may involve granting for
a time to the part of the population concerned certain
preferential treatment in specific matters as compared
with the rest of the population. However, as long as such
action is needed to correct discrimination, in fact, it is a
case of legitimate differentiation under the Covenant.
National approaches:
In some countries which have laws on racial equality,
affirmative action is rendered illegal because it does not
treat all races equally. This approach of equal treatment
is sometimes described as being color blind, in hopes
that it is effective against discrimination without engaging
inreverse discrimination.
In such countries, the focus tends to be on ensuring
equal opportunity and, for example, targeted advertising
campaigns to encourage ethnic minority candidates to
join the police force. This is sometimes described as
positive action.
The Americas Brazil:
Some Brazilian Universities (State and Federal) have
created systems of preferred admissions (quotas)
for racial minorities (blacks and native Brazilians), the
103
poor and people with disabilities. There are also quotas

of up to 20% of vacancies reserved for the disabled
in the civil public services.TheDemocratsparty,
accusing the board of directors of theUniversity of
Brasliaof Nazism, appealed to theSupreme Federal
Courttheconstitutionalityof the quotas the University
reserves for minorities.The Supreme Court refused to
overturn the quotas and unanimously approved their
constitutionality on 26 April 2012.
Canada:
The equality section of theCanadian Charter of
Rights and Freedomsexplicitly permits affirmative
action type legislation, although the Charter does
notrequirelegislation that gives preferential treatment.
Subsection 2 ofSection 15states that the equality
provisions do not preclude any law, program or activity
that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of
disadvantaged individuals or groups including those
that are disadvantaged because of race, national or
ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or
physical disability. TheCanadian Employment Equity
Actrequires employers in federally-regulated industries
to give preferential treatment to four designated groups:
Women, people with disabilities, aboriginal people,
andvisible minorities. In most Canadian Universities,
people of Aboriginal background normally have lower
entrance requirements and are eligible to receive
exclusive scholarships. Some provinces and territories
also have affirmative action-type policies. For example,
inNorthwest Territoriesin the Canadian north, aboriginal
people are given preference for jobs and education and
are considered to have P1 status. Non-aboriginal people
who were born in the NWT or have resided half of their life
there are considered a P2, as well as women and disabled
people.See also,Employment equity in Canada.
United States:
Main article:Affirmative action in the United States
Affirmative action was first created fromExecutive
Order 10925, which was signed by PresidentJohn F.
Kennedyon 6 March 1961 and required that government
employers not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of race, creed, color,
or national origin and take affirmative action to ensure
that applicants are employed, and that employees are
treated during employment, without regard to their race,
creed, color, or national origin.On 24 September 1965,

PresidentLyndon B. JohnsonsignedExecutive Order
11246, thereby replacingExecutive Order 10925and
affirming Federal Governments commitment to promote
the full realization of equal employment opportunity
through a positive, continuing program in each executive
department and agency.It is notable that affirmative
action was not extended to women untilExecutive
Order 11375amended Executive Order 11246 on 13
October 1967, expanding the definition to include
sex. Presently, affirmative action expressed through
Executive Order 11246 considers factors of race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin. In the U.S., affirmative
actions original purpose was to pressure institutions
into compliance with the nondiscrimination mandate
of theCivil Rights Act of 1964.The Civil Rights Acts do
not cover veterans, people with disabilities, or people
over 40. These groups are protected from discrimination
under different laws.Affirmative action has been
the subject of numerous court cases,and has been
questioned upon itsconstitutionallegitimacy. In 2003,
a Supreme Court decision (Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 US
244 Supreme Court 2003) regarding affirmative action
in higher education permitted educational institutions
to consider race as a factor; a small plus factor, when
admitting students, but ruled that strict point systems
are unconstitutional.Alternatively, some colleges use
financial criteria to attract racial groups that have typically
been under-represented and typically have lower living
conditions. Some states such as California (California
Civil Rights Initiative), Michigan (Michigan Civil Rights
Initiative), and Washington (Initiative 200) have passed
constitutional amendments banning affirmative action
within their respective states. Conservative activists have
alleged that colleges quietly use illegal quotas and have
launched numerous lawsuits to stop them.
Middle East:
Israel
In attempt to close the gap between Arab and Jewish
education sectors, the Israeli education minister
announced an affirmative action policy, promising that
Arabs would be granted 25% of the education budget,
more than their proportional share in the population
(18%). He also added that the ministry would support the
creations of an Arab academic college.[18]

DICCI - EXPO 2015
South Asia: India

Main article:Reservation in India
Sri Lanka. In 1971 the Standardization policy of Sri
Lankan universities was introduced as an affirmative
action program for students from areas which had
poor educational facilities due to 200 years purposeful
discrimination by Britishcolonialists. The British had
practisedcommunalfavoritism towards Christians and
the minorityTamil communityfor the entire 200 years
they had controlled Sri Lanka, as part of a policy ofdivide
and conquer.
East Asia:
Japan. Admission to universities as well as all government
positions (including teachers) are determined by the
entrance exam, which is extremely competitive at the top
level. It is illegal to include sex, ethnicity or other social
background (but not nationality) in criteria; however, there
are informal policies to provide employment and long term
welfare (which is usually not available to general public)
toBurakuminat municipality level.
Peoples Republic of China. Preferential policies required
some of the top positions in governments be distributed
toethnic minoritiesand women. Also, many universities
are required by government to give preferred admissions
to ethnic minorities.
South Korea. Admission to universities is also determined
by the strict entrance exam, which is extremely
competitive at the top level. But most of all Korean
universities at the top level are adapting some affirmative
actions in cases of Chinese ethnic minority, North
Korean refugees, etc. in their recruiting new students.
Besides, national universities have been pressed by the
Korean government, so now they are trying to meet the
governmental goal which is to recruit a proportion of
female professors.
South East Asia and Oceania:
Malaysia. TheMalaysian New Economic Policyor NEP
serves as a form of affirmative action. Malaysia provides
affirmative action to the majority because in general, the
Malays have lower income than the Chinese who have
traditionally been involved in businesses and industries.
[21]Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country, withMalaysmaking
up the majority of close to 52% of the population.
About 30% of the population areMalaysians of Chinese

descent, whileMalaysians of Indian descentcomprise
about 8% of the population. Government policy provides
preferential placement for ethnic Malays, and 95% of all
new intakes for the army, hospital nurses, police, and other
government institutions are Malays. As of 2004, only 7%
of all government servants are ethnic Chinese, a drop
from 30% in 1960. All eight of the directors of the national
petroleum company,Petronas, are Malays, and only 3%
of Petronas employees are Chinese. Additionally, 95% of
all government contracts are awarded to ethnic Malays.
[22](See alsoBumiputra) The mean income for Malays,
Chinese and Indians in 1957/58 were 134, 288 and 228
respectively. In 1967/68 it was 154, 329 and 245, and in
1970 it was 170, 390 and 300. Mean income disparity
ratio for Chinese/Malays rose from 2.1 in 1957/58 to 2.3 in
1970, whereas for Indians/Malays the disparity ratio also
rose from 1.7 to 1.8 in the same period.The Malays viewed
Independence as restoring their proper place in their own
countrys socioeconomic order while the non-Malays were
opposing government efforts to advance Malay political
primacy and economic welfare.
New Zealand. Individuals ofMorior other Polynesian
descent are often afforded improved access to university
courses, or have scholarships earmarked specifically for
them.Affirmative action is provided for under section 73
of the Human Rights Act 1993and section 19(2) of the
New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990..
Europe:
Finland. In certain university education programs,
including legal and medical education, there are quotas
for persons who reach a certain standard of skills in
theSwedish language; for students admitted in these
quotas, the education is partially arranged in Swedish.The
purpose of the quotas is to guarantee that a sufficient
number of professionals with skills in Swedish are
educated for nation-wide needs.The quota system has
met with criticism from the Finnish speaking majority,
some of whom consider the system unfair. In addition
to these linguistic quotas, women may get preferential
treatment in recruitment for certain public sector jobs if
there is a gender imbalance in the field.
France. No distinctions based on race, religion or sex
are allowed under the 1958French Constitution Since
105
the 1980s, a French version of affirmative action based

on neighborhood is in place for primary and secondary
education. Some schools, in neighborhoods labeled
Priority Education Zones, are granted more funds than
the others. Students from these schools also benefit from
special policies in certain institutions (such asSciences
Po). The French Ministry of Defence tried in 1990 to give
more easily higher ranks and driving licenses to young
French soldiers with North-African ancestry. After a strong
protest by a young French lieutenant in the Ministry of
Defence newspaper (Armes daujourdhui), this driving
license and rank project was cancelled. After the Sarkozy
election, a new attempt in favour of Arabian-French
students was made but Sarkozy did not gain enough
political support to change the French constitution.
However, highly ranked French schools do implement
affirmative action in that they are obligated to take a
certain amount of students from impoverished families.
Additionally, following the Norwegian example, after
27 January 2014, women must represent at least 20%
of board members in all stock exchange listed or state
owned companies. After 27 January 2017, the proportion
will increase to 40%. All male director nominations will be
invalid as long as the condition is not met, and financial
penalties may apply for other directors.
Gymnasium should no longer be allowed to handpick all of

their students. It was ruled that while Gymnasien should
be able to pick 70% to 65% of their students, the other
places at the Gymnasien are to be allocated by lottery.
Every child will be able to enter the lottery, no matter
how he or she performed in primary school. It is hoped
that this policy will increase the number of working class
students attending a Gymnasium. The Leftproposed that
Berlin Gymnasien should no longer be allowed to expel
students who perform poorly so that the students who
won a Gymnasium place in the lottery have a fair chance
of graduating from that school.It is not clear yet if Berlins
senate will decide in favour ofThe Leftsproposal. There
is also a discussion going on if affirmative action should
be employed to help the children and grandchildren of
the so-calledGastarbeitergain better access to German
universities. One prominent proponent of this was
LordRalf Dahrendorf.It is argued that the Gastarbeiter
willingly came to Germany to help build the industry and
this should be honored.
Norway. In allpublic limited companies (PCL)boards,
either gender should be represented by 40%. This

affects roughly 400 companies of over 300.000 in total.
Republic of Macedonia. Minorities, most notably
Ralf Dahrendorfwas in favour of affirmative action

Germany. Article 3 of theGerman Basic Lawprovides for
equal rights of all people regardless of sex, race or social
background. There are programs stating that if men and
women have equal qualifications, women have to be
preferred for a job; moreover, the handicapped should be
preferred to healthy people. This is typical for all positions
in state and university service as of 2007, typically using
the phrase We try to increase diversity in this line of
work. In recent years, there has been a long public debate
about whether to issue programs that would grant women
a privileged access to jobs in order to fight discrimination.
GermanysLeft Partybrought up the discussion about
affirmative action inGermanys school system. According
toStefan Zillich, quotas should be a possibility to help
working class children who did not do well in school
gain access to aGymnasium(University-preparatory
school).Headmasters ofGymnasienhave objected, saying
that this type of policy would be a disservice to poor
children. In 2009, theBerlin Senatedecided that Berlins
Albanians, are allocated quotas for access to state

universities, as well as in civil public services
Romania. Roma people (gipsy) are allocated quotas for

access to state universities.
Slovakia. The Constitutional Court declared in October

2005 that affirmative action i.e. providing advantages
for people of an ethnic or racial minority group as
being against its Constitution.
Sweden. Special treatments of certain groups
are commonplace in Sweden. Leveraging of the

opportunities of these groups is encouraged by the
state. One example is the police, who give women and
people from other cultural and ethnic backgrounds
concessions when it comes to testing for entrance to
the police academy.
United Kingdom. In the UK, any discrimination, quotas
or favouritism on the grounds of sex, race and ethnicity

is generally illegal in both education and employment
Specific exceptions include:
The 1998Good Friday Agreementrequired that
106
DICCI - EXPO 2015
thePolice Service of Northern Irelandrecruit equal

numbers of Catholics and Protestants in order
to eliminate the services perceived bias towards
Protestants.
TheLabour Partypassed theSex Discrimination
(Election Candidates) Act 2002, allowing them to

useall-women shortliststo select more women as
election candidates.
The UK Civil Service also discriminates in favour of ethnic

minorities and people from low-income households, in
that it runs a summer intership programme that only BME
Britons may apply for.
South Africa:
Apartheid
TheApartheidgovernment, as a matter of state policy,
favoured white-owned companies and as a result, the
majority of employers in South Africa were white people.
The aforementioned policies achieved the desired results,
but in the process they marginalised and excluded
black people. Skilled jobs were also reserved for white
people, and blacks were largely used as unskilled labour,
enforced by legislation including theMines and Works
Act, theJob Reservations Act, theNative Building Workers
Act, theApprenticeship Actand theBantu Education Act,
creating and extending the colour bar in South African
labourFor example, in early 20th century South Africa
mine owners preferred hiring black workers because they
were cheaper.Then the whites successfully persuaded the
government to enact laws that highly restricted the blacks
employment opportunities.
Since the 1960s the Apartheid laws had been weakened.
Consequently, from 1975 to 1990 the real wages of black
manufacturing workers rose by 50%, that of whites by 1%.
The economic and politically structured society during the
apartheid ultimately caused disparities in employment,
occupation and income within labour markets, which
provided advantages to certain groups and characteristics
of people. This in due course was the motivation to
introduce affirmative action in South Africa, following the
end of Apartheid.
Post-apartheid Employment Equity:
Following the transition to democracy in 1994, theAfrican
National Congress-led government chose to implement

affirmative action legislation to correct previous
imbalances (a policy known asEmployment Equity). As
such, all employers were compelled by law to employ
previously disenfranchised groups (blacks,Indians,
andColoureds). A related, but distinct concept isBlack
Economic Empowerment.
TheEmployment Equity Actand theBroad Based Black
Economic EmpowermentAct aim to promote and
achieve equality in the workplace (in South Africa termed
equity), by advancing people from designated groups.
The designated groups who are to be advanced include
all people of colour, women (including white women)
anddisabled people(including whites). Employment
Equity legislation requires companies employing more
than 50 people to design and implement plans to improve
the representativity of workforce demographics, and
report them to theDepartment of Labour
Employment Equity also forms part of a companysBlack
Economic Empowermentscorecard: in a relatively
complex scoring system, which allows for some flexibility
in the manner in which each company meets its legal
commitments, each company is required to meet
minimum requirements in terms of representation by
previously disadvantaged groups. The matters covered
include equity ownership, representation at employee
and management level (up to board of director level),
procurement from black-owned businesses and social
investment programs, amongst others.
The policies of Employment Equity and, particularly, Black
Economic empowerment have been criticised both by
those who view them as discriminatory against white
people, and by those who view them as ineffectual.
These laws cause disproportionally high costs for
small companies and reduce economic growth and
employment.The laws may give the black middle-class
some advantage but can make the worse-off blacks even
poorer.Moreover, theSupreme Courthas ruled that in
principle blacks may be favored, but in practice this should
not lead to unfair discrimination against the others. Yet it
is impossible to favor somebody without discriminating
against others.

Affirmative Action
In the United States, affirmative action refers to equal
opportunity employment measures that Federal contractors and
subcontractors are legally required to adopt. These measures are
intended to prevent discrimination against employees or
applicants for employment, on the basis of "color, religion, sex,
or national origin"[1][2]. Examples of affirmative action offered by
the United States Department of Labor include outreach
campaigns, targeted recruitment, employee and management
development, and employee support programs.[2]
Affirms that all

persons are created

Ensures equal

Uses racial

Practices equal

and promotes small

businesses.
Supplier Diversity
Supplier Diversity is a business program that encourages the use
of: minority-owned, women owned, veteran owned, service
disabled veteran owned, historically underutilized business, and
SBA defined small business vendors as suppliers. It is not directly
correlated with supply chain diversification, although utilizing
more vendors may enhance supply chain diversification.
