knowl·edge and news net·work

Knowledge & News Network (KNN) is a community-owned not-for-profit alternative media platform established to address the problems of Indian MSMEs arising from gaps in information and knowledge flows. It is promoted by GIZ-German Agency for International Cooperation and the Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME) under the aegis of an umbrella bilateral development programme jointly supported by Government of Federal Republic of Germany and Government of India.KNN provides news and information to the mainstream media – both print and electronic, fed through a national network of over 156 KNN member industry associations. and 110 institutions.The Micro, small and Medium Enterprises. (MSME) are considered the back bone of the Indian economy. Over 40 million in number, cumulatively they are the second largest employer after agriculture and contribute over 35% to exports and almost 40% to industrial production. However, the MSME sector is largely unorganized and operates in informal setting. Due to their unorganized nature, their views and news seldom reach to policy makers. This results in a structural gap in information-feedback-loop critical for formulation of demand driven policies and schemes. While MSMEs rightly complain about bad policies, the policy makers do not have sufficient information to frame right response. KNN aims to enable two-way flow of information from MSMEs to both policy makers and institutions and vice versa.
