About Us
The main objective of HIMCON, as initially
envisaged, was to provide quality advice and consultancy services at an affordable
price mainly to the small entrepreneurs for identifying, planning and formulating
their projects as well as to the financial institutions & banks for systematic
appraisal of industrial finance proposals. Therefore, the basic thrust during
the initial years was on Project Consultancy, namely preparation of Project Reports,
Project Appraisals, Techno Economic Feasibility studies and market surveys. The
Organisation also built up its strengths in conducting special studies like Industrial
Potential Surveys sponsored by State Government and IDBI. The company, in addition
, offered management consultancy services for improving organizational efficiency
and productivity.
Over the years, the environment and the market area
in which HIMCON operated has undergone material changes inline with global changes.
The overall industrial climate in the state has changed and has taken a positive
trend. Project consultancy work has been started by some private consulting individuals
in some areas as well as the banks and financial institutions have also strengthened
their in-house competency for identification and appraisal of viability aspects
of projects.
On its part the State Government has also been seeking
professional support from HIMCON for varied type of assignments such as infrastructure
development studies and evaluation of various schemes being implemented by the
Government in addition to identification of core areas for development and concurrent
appraisals of various projects. Overall, developments in these areas helped to
facilitate a qualitative shift in the status of HIMCON from the level of consultants
for small entrepreneurs to that of a multi-functional and multi- disciplinary
organization offering a wide range of services to the industrial and infrastructure
development, and to a wider spectrum of clientele including those outside the
state of Himachal Pradesh.
