The term reservation for SSI was introduced in I(D&R) Act 1951 in 1984 through an amendment and thus the policy got a statutory backing. The 1984 amendment also provided for constitution of an Advisory Committee on Reservation, which meets periodically and considers reservation issues. The Committee was reconstituted in August, 1995 with Secretary (SSI & ARI) as Chairman and Secretary (ID), Secretary (IP & P), Chairman BICP, and AS&DC (SSI) as members. Review of items in the reserved list is a continuous process by the Advisory committee. While taking a decision for reservation, the Committee is required to go into aspects like, i) economy in production, ii) level of employment generation, iii) scope of diffusing entrepreneurship and iv) prevention of concentration of economic power.

. The reservation policy was initiated in 1967 with 47 items which was enlarged to 504 items by 1978. In 1978, the reservation list was recast into NIC codes which converted these items to 807. Since then, from time to time some items have been added and also some items have been delated from the list. In addition based on the requirements, the nomenclature of certain items has also been changed. As on today, there are 836 items reserved for exclusive manufacture in the small scale sector. It may be mentioned that the small scale sector produces over 7500 items. As per the second All India Census of small scale industries held for 1987-88, reserved items accounted for 11.3% of the total number of items produced and 28.3% of the total production in the SSI sector.

Reservation of products for exclusive manufacture in the small scale sector as a policy instrument for its promotion owes its origin to the Industries (Development & Regulation) Act, 1951 (section 11B). As per this policy, creation of fresh capacity in the large/medium sector in reserved areas is permitted only if the unit agrees to an export obligation of a minimum of 75% of its production. The main rationale for reservation of items for exclusive production in the SSI sector were the feasibility of producing an item in the SSI Sector without compromising on quality; level of employment generation, diffusion of entrepreneurial talent and prevention of economic concentration etc.

We also want governments to act to end harmful fisheries subsidies which contribute to overfishing, as well as set fishing quotas in line with scientific advice on what is sustainable. We know how to tackle overfishing but we all need to play our part collectively in ending it.

What can I do to end overfishing? Everyone has a part to play. You should look and ask for MSC certified, sustainably sourced seafood when you visit the market, fishmonger or supermarket, or when you eat at a restaurant. The more public pressure there is for sustainable seafood products, the faster that unsustainable fishing practices will be eliminated.

The MSC also sometimes commissions independent DNA tests on MSC labelled products to guard against fish fraud, ensuring MSC certified seafood has not been substituted for a different – possibly endangered – species. Research published in the journal Current Biology shows that mislabelling rates on MSC labelled products are less than 1% - significantly lower than other seafood labelling.
