The Scientific and Industrial Testing and Research Centre (Si’Tarc) and the Quality Circle Forum of India (QCFI), Coimbatore chapter, have launched a programme here to empower the Micro, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs).
President of Si’Tarc Ma. Sendil Kumar and its vice-president K. Mohan Senthil Kumar said the programme for MSMEs in the engineering sector was expected to start with about 100 units and in the long-term cover almost 10,000 units.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
