I've been employed for more than three year in a part time job. They have decided to let me go as the company is under-performing and is not making enough money. Am I entitled to any severance pay?

Severance pay is given at the discretion of the company and is not generally an employee right. You don't say where you are located; if you're in the UK or Europe, they use employment contracts in many countries and you may be entitled to something in that respect.
Otherwise, you can claim unemployment in the US, but you have no entitlement to severance - sorry.

I'm hoping you work in the UK Arvind - blimey, you guys in the US have no rights at all do you?!!
It doesn't matter that you work part-time Arvind, in this instance you should be entitled to redundancy.
How much you should get will depend on (a) your age and (b) your contract of employment.
Your contract may offer better than the legal minimum redundancy pay. If not check http://www.tuc.org.uk/extras/redundancy.pdf for your entitlement.

Severance pay depends on company policy. Most companies do NOT have a severance policy but may elect to pay severance on a large layoff and include part-time employees but it is not required under federal or state regulations

Thats a difficult one Arvind ,
Going by the name your located in calcutta or dehli so your job was what , trainee pimp . workin for the mob . hockin your *** ? selling krishna trinkets to tourists ..,, so you`d have no luck there matey.. Just have to send your family around to visit the boss.
Or if you were in a minimart or 7-11 depends if you were skimming off a few goods everynite to flog at your old mans fried banana stall .
or if you were servicing the bosses wife ,,
Or maybe the boss was pimpin you out to fat frustrated 50 year old german frualines and wasnt givin you a good cut .
So like I say , Its a tuff one ,
Just get a government job like tram driver or sitting behind a desk downloadin porn when the supervisor aint around , Thers only one way to get sacked from there ...Thats if you die .
Just make sure though , Its generally a rule in the government offices that if you die , you fall off the chair , because they cant tell the diffrerence between working or dead ..

depends on what is in your contract but even though you are part time if it was in a permanent capacity which 3 years seems so then you should get some kind of severance pay.

No I'm afraid not.
Employing people part time is a good way of keeping costs down,ie no entitlement to paid hollidays,etc,etc

No. You had no other benefits as a part time employee, right? So why would you expect severance pay when the company downsizes?

If you are in the UK, you are entitled to redundancy pay. See the ACAS website.
