FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO INDUSTRIES
The industrial development in Sangli district is of recent origin. In the last decades of the 19th century there were some smallscale and cottage industries in the district, hut they did not receive any
financial assistance from the State. A number of schemes are now afoot under
which such assistance is extended especially to small units. The following are
statistics of assistance given 10 individual artisans and their co-operatives in the district since 1956-57:—
