Saurashtra Vepar Udyog Mahamandal was started in 2001. The roots of Saurashtra Vepar Udyog Mahamandal can be found in a Saurashtra Sankalan Samiti”. This Samiti was an institute of visionary leaders to address various issues of Saurashtra and Kutch region. The Role of Samiti is limited to policy advocacy and to scale up activism and movement against unfair policies of the government. Changes in Value Added Tax implementation in 2003, Removal of Octroi, Impact fee, Scarcity of currency coins, Action against malpractice of government officials were among the main activities and achievements of the Samiti. The team of  leading industrialists are playing key roles in this activism.

The development starts from individual unit to national level; our aim is to create Glocal Platform for the smallest manufacturer of Saurashtra & Kutch region, which can lead to generate greater GDP for the nation.

The success of the Make in India concept also depends on the performance of MSMEs.
The development of textile industry, coconut farming, Auto Park, mining, IT – Electronics are major thrust areas where scopes for the developments are huge. Collective efforts can bring very good results for economical and social growth.

It is also observed that scopes for the bilateral trade development with the African continent, South Asian countries, European and American countries are good. We are strategically working on it so that we can create A Glocal Trade Exchange Platform in Saurashtra Kutch Region.

The role of industrial association, federation and Mahamandal is very vital in sustainable development of industries, trade, economy and Society at large. Being body of the trade and Industry organization of Saurashtra – Kutch (SVUM), Saurashtra Vepar Udyog Mahamandal is committed to create a business friendly environment for holistic sustainable development of Saurashtra – Kutch.
