APPENDIX – 2
CASE STUDIES OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES IN INDIA
B.1 Case study Of Alleppey coir cluster in Kerala State
In the case of coir cluster Alleppey, a network of small of exporters had been evolved by the
coir Board and EDI in 2001. The rationale of perusing exports in a consortium mode was
that most members were hitherto indirect exporters, though some were into direct exports.
The network sought to spread the cost of meeting expenditure in communication and
promotion costs (common website, catalogues, sample preparation and trade fair
participation). The network in this case facilitated sharing of relevant expenditure in this
venture whose success was uncertain. They also had to compete with larger established
exporters.
B.2 Case Study Of Kannur Handloom Cluster in Kerala State
In the handloom cluster of Kannur, co-operatives networked and evolved Consortia. The
heads of the co-operatives (Chairmen, President, and Secretaries) assumed membership in
networks (consortia) registered under charitable societies Act. About 7000 weavers and 50
co-operatives societies networked as 4 consortia, under the ageis of the Directorate of
Handlooms, Government of Kerala. Four consortia have established common marketing
outlets. The cost of renting outlets was high, as were the expenses in furnishing them. The
uncertainty in terms of benefits prompted the establishment of these consortia. One of the
two outlets established by a consortium and located in a prime ( and costly) location has
been doing well; the other outlet, established by another consortium whose members were
not prepared to assume such risk, did not do as well as it opted for a relatively cheaper
location.
B.3 Case Study of Seafood cluster in Kochi & Food processing cluster at Madurai
SMEs and enterprise members of industrial associations in India setup special Purpose
Vehicles (SPVs or in effect, consortia of enterprises) to establish common infrastructure and
CFC facilities. These SPVs are expected to represent enterprises in the cluster and often
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
194
include a large number of enterprises – between 10 medium –sized enterprises ( supported
under the Ministry of Food Processing Industries ( MoFPI) schemes for establishing food
Parks) in Seafood Cluster near Kochi.
Another example is the cereals, pulses and Staples milling cluster at Madurai that has over
150 SMEs and which has been sanctioned support under the IIUS.
B.4 Case study of rice Millers cluster in Kalady near Kochi, Kerala
Similarly, to optimally utilize by products and waste in rice milling cluster in Kalady, cluster
enterprises have jointly implemented projects like a rice bran oil extraction unit, and have
also planned a refinery to ensure full utilization of installed capacities. Given the high fixed
cost in such projects, even cost of small reductions in utilized capacity could in high
increases in unit cost of production. Cluster enterprises are also implementing common
projects to generate bio- gas and hence reduce their power costs. Optimizing costs of power
and appropriate value addition is enhancing the relative competitiveness of SMEs
The consortium of the rice milling cluster units at Kalady, also established a common
storage facility for purchase of consumables such as gears, shafts, pulleys and belt drives.
Tyres for trucks and light commercial vehicles are also jointly and directly sourced from
manufacturers. The focus of the network was to leverage bulk buying from suppliers.
B.5 Case Study Of Aroor Seafood Park
The Seafood park has “peeling sheds” and CFCs of international ( EU approved)
standard for benefits of exporters in the cluster. The Marine product Export Development
Authority (MPEDA) and Kerala Infrastructure Development Authority (KINFRA) took the
lead. KINFRA has strived to promote shed off-take in the park by means of publicizing the
park through the internet. Meetings with industry associations were organized by MPEDA
and KINFRA to encourage participation of industry. A separate entity, Marine Product
Infrastructure Development Corporation (MIDCON) had been established to provide the
“bridge finance” in such infrastructure projects for the seafood cluster in the region.
The park took several years to come up with the public authorities using a carrot and
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
195
stick approach to raise the contribution and involvement levels of all industry
stakeholders.
B.6 Case Study of Kottayam rubber Consortium in Kerala
In the rubber cluster at kottayam, one of the earliest Indian consortiums, the NRFPMC
which registered as a private limited entity has about 38 members. As members progress into
larger ventures, increase membership base and look for more equity contributions, the
network may evolve into a public company. Private limited entity contributions, the network
may evolve into a public company. A private limited entity facilitates constant growth and
free entry and exit of members and therefore towards higher sustainability.
This consortium initially registered with an authorized capital of Rs. 10 lakh had 19
members. In order to create a corpus to establish a raw material bank with a cash credit limit
of Rs. 60 lakhs from the State Bank of Travancore, it raised its authorized capital of Rs. 25
lakhs. As also number of members increased, they were able to implement a CFC involving
a capital expenditure of about Rs. 2.5 crores. To pursue other common initiatives such as an
even larger “tufting” facility or a larger common cost optimizing bio-gas or wind energy
generating option, the network may progressively evolve into a public entity.
B.7 Case Study of common facility center at Bellary
In order to provide testing facilities to several cotton growers, the local growers association
joined hands with Textiles Committee to set up a common facility at Bellary under public-
private partnership. While the land & building were provided by the association, equipment
was contributed by the Textiles Committee on long-term lease basis to create the common
facility.
B.8 Case Study of Pochampally Handloom Cluster
Pochampally, a small town in Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh, is a handloom cluster
known for its unique Ikat design. While working on consortium development, the Textiles
Committee has began to explore ways in which the traditional product could be protected
using contemporary legal provisions. Geographical Indications (GI) was the obvious
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
196
choice. As a result of these efforts, Pochampally become the 1st textile craft to obtain
protection for its design under geographical indications Act. The application for registration
of Pochampally Ikat was filed on December 15, 2003 with the register of GI in Chennai, and
the certificate issued on 31st December 2004. The GI registration, which is a statutory
protection, involves making a case for the uniqueness of the product that is Pochampally
Ikat.this involves both technical details of the process ( tying and dyeing of threads in a
visualized design prior to the weaving of the fabric) and the product ( which are sarees,
fabric, rumals, carpets, rugs and mats). The protection means that nobody else can claim that
they are producing pochampally Ikats; nor can they pass off similar looking product.
A center for Handlooms and Artisans information, (CHAI), which is described as marketing-
cum- intelligence center at Pochampally, is run by Sanghamitra, a local NGO and was
formed with the intervention of Textiles Committee. The center documents tie- dye process
and acts as an information hub, whether its market information or designs or information
regarding government schemes and programmes. They also facilitate technical developments
and product diversifications.
B.9 Case Study of Jaipur Hand Block Printed Textile Cluster
Jaipur hand block printed textile cluster is a classic case of traditional handicraft cluster
coming to terms with the changing social and economic environment. The art of hand block
printing is 500 years Al and used to serve mass demand for traditionally printed dress
material, furnishings, etc. Moreover, royal choices of the Jaipur estate used to sustain the
demand for exquisite handicraft products. With the onset of mechanization and changing
social values, machine-made clothes reduced the demand for hand block printed textiles
while ‘royal’ demand faded away. Falling demand pushed the cash-starved printers to
undercut each other’s wages at the cost of quality. Moreover, as running water started to dry
up, the falling trust within the cluster reduced the propensity to collaborate for the revival of
crumbling infrastructure. Search for survival led to finding easier ways for making money
and closed all avenues related to building of new knowledge base and progressive working on
improving productivity~ In 1960 the advent of screen printing which is 10 to 20 times faster
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
197
and much cheaper offered a severe threat to the traditional block printed crafts and swept the
mass market with near similar products being prepared both by block and screen printing.
It was in January 1997 that UNIDO adopted the hand block printed textile cluster of Jaipur
under its Cluster Development Programme to establish the utility of the new approach in a
typical handicraft cluster – with declining performance but abundant export and employment
potential. The intervention by UNIDO started with a diagnostic study that identified clear
prospects for specialization on high-value added products on account of the high ethnic
content of product design and of eco-friendly dyes. The study, however, highlighted the
barriers that prevented the Jaipur hand-block printers from tapping such market niches. These
barriers were” related to poor control over product quality” (in turn related to difficulties in
procurement of raw materials and poorly skilled workforce), inability to respond to
medium-scale orders in a timely and effective manner, credit constraints and weak market
position, wherein hand-block printers were at the mercy of traders. Initiatives undertaken
after UNIDO interventions are Linking with up-markets in India and abroad, Provision of
technical training Credit through Mutual Credit, Guarantee Fund mechanism , Refurbishing
traditional designs Pollution control and thereby creating better working and living
conditions, Sustaining adequate infrastructure development
The outcome of UNIDO’s intervention in Jaipur has been significant, as testified by a wealth
of quantitative as well as qualitative evidence. Most importantly, the multifaceted
interventions at Jaipur have over time equipped the cluster actors to effectively initiate action
autonomously without UNIDO assistance. Several consortia, self help groups, local and state
level support institutions have now grown accustomed to collaborate and are fully capable to
identify their dynamic needs and find means to overcome the barriers. The number of
support institutions directly involved and collaborating in the cluster has increased from one
in 1997 to ten apart from the thirteen technical support institutions currently involved in the
development of the cluster.

B.10 Case Study of Tirupur Hosiery Cluster
Tirupur, a small township 60 Kms away from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu is said to breed
millionaires. This small town is no doubt substantial. Nearly 80% of the nation’s knitwear
exports originate from this town that is renowned in the cotton knitwear sector and thus is
replete with specialized sectoral know-how. Now a days, Tirupur knitwear production finds
its way into the world market and provides employment to 300,000 people. There is no doubt
that Tirupur provides a striking example of the remarkable achievements. Yet, the cluster of
Tirupur faces new challenges as it clearly emerged when UNIDO conducted a diagnostic
study in 1996. In spite of the improved production process and consequently the higher
quality of the products over the previous decade, Tirupur products still suffered due to a poor
international image of a cheap low quality production cluster. The cluster was still lagging
behind its international competitors in yarn diversification with changing trends (from 100%
cotton to blended knitwear). Yarn diversification has become a necessary component to
higher quality products. These inter-related problems were putting a question mark on the
long term sustainability of Tirupur’s success, especially in light of the rapid erosion of
barriers to trade in the international markets.
Initiatives undertaken after UNIDO Interventions are Promotion of Common Brand for
Tirupur Knitwear, Quality Assurance, Waste Minimization, Cleaner Production, Product
Diversification, Human Resource Development, International Benchmarking through
exposure visits to Italy and China. With the commencement of UNIDO intervention at
Tirupur in 1997, efforts were made to place this dynamic cluster that had already made its
mark in the international arena, on a higher growth trajectory through international
benchmarking. Common brand building has been taken up as a flagship initiative to correct
Tirupur’s image in the international arena. Quality, market management, technology up
gradation for better working conditions, yarn diversification, energy conservation etc. were
the areas that required action to complement the brand building exercise.

As a result of UNIDO intervention, a significant increase in the capacities of several
institutions has been ensured. The NIFT-TEA Centre has introduced several new industry
specific training courses, undertook industry linkages, made changes in its curricula and
forged linkages with other national institutes of repute. Other industry associations such as
South India Hosiery Manufacturers Association and Tirupur Dyers Association have been
very active in undertaking several new development initiatives for their members. The local
support institutions such as the Textiles Committee, South India Textile Research
Association, Indian Statistical Institute and Centre for Environment Education have been
activated to undertake complementary roles towards budding a more dynamic cluster. Within
Tirupur Exporters Association, an effective information cell has been setup to update its
members about the ongoing challenges arising from WTO.
B.11 Case Study of Handloom Cluster in Chanderi
Chanderi is a small town of 30,000 inhabitants. In the year 2002, gthe cluster had about 3659
working looms providing direct & indirect employment of about 18,000 persons and an
estimated annual turn over of Rs 150 million. Around 1100 looms are in the cooperative
sector. There are about 45 master weavers and 12 traders. At the beginning of the
intervention, apart from a local Resource Centre and an office of MP Hast Shilpa Vikas
Nigam, all other institutions were located outside Chanderi. The cluster development Project
at Chanderi has led to the formation of a weaver’s organization (BVS). BVS is doing
business with a number of up market clientele. The Weavers of BVS are not only getting
higher wages, they are also enjoying profit. Credit has also been arranged for the weavers
through formal Channels. Regular Savings by the SHGs and the efficient business systems of
BVs were created to improve the mutual confidence between the banks and Weaver
community. It was identified that the cheap credit can be mobilized through credit lines of
National Minorities Development Corporation (NMDC). Besides an NGO given an interest
free loan & ONGC provides working capital to BVS.

200
Simultaneously various technical & related infrastructure issues including improved dyeing,
wider width looms, a yarn depot and a dye house had been introduced. Chanderi Saris got
registered under geographical indication Act through a newly created organization of
weavers, master weavers and Traders- Chanderi Development Foundation. Activities for the
empowerment of women weavers were also introduced through specialized agencies. These
social empowerment initiatives are being mainstreamed through the best suited local
institutions. The programme was implemented by UNIDO CDP, also with the support
Department of Rural Industries, Government of Madhya Pradesh.
B.12 Case Study of Classic terry towel consortium of Solapur Textiles Cluster
In order to face global competition, the consortium approach has been gaining popularity in
the Solapur Power loom Industry. In the near future this approach also promises bright
chances of increase in the export of Terry Towels of Solapur. It is however, difficult for the
manufacturers to complete big order in a limited time schedule. In fact a single power loom
owner / exporter was not in a position to take on big order. In order to overcome these
difficulties, the consortium approach is being practiced in Solapur. Under this model, two or
more manufacturers have come together to form a consortium. One consortium comprising 0
firms registered under the name and style Classic Terry Towel Consortium (India) Pvt.
Limited (CTTC). Another one of a private limited Company under the name & style Euro
Consortium Pvt. Limited. Every month, EURO consortium collectively purchases raw
material, dyes, auxiliaries, etc. from own sources. This consortium has achieved success in the
manufacturing stage and would venture into combined marketing of products. Formation of
consortia is being implemented under the guidance of Textiles Committee & Textiles
Development Foundation. This cluster model has attracted exporters as well as the power
loom manufacturers from the local market.
After the cluster approach , 10 units has adopted ISO QMS 9001-2000. The Textiles
Committee offered BDS providers. As a result of the training programmes on yarn dyeing
there have been substantial improvements in bleaching & dyeing practices and water
absorbency in several units.
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
201
The Euro-Terry Towel consortium involving 42 members has realized a reduction on
purchase costs of yarn by about Rs 25 lakhs by means of common purchase. The Classic terry
towel consortium involving 9 members is progressively and common sourcing dyes and
chemicals ( including hydrogen peroxide, packing materials, lubricants oils etcetera targeting
a savings of Rs. 18 lakhs).
Demonstration of technology options and exposure visits has facilitated greater
competitiveness of Cluster SMEs. The classic terry towel consortium members have realized
a total direct export turnover of about Rs 70 Lakhs. Most of orders were secured through
participation in fairs in India. Some were also secured over b2b meets in Europe.
B.13 Case Study of Okhla Garment & Textiles Cluster
With the above backdrop a few forward looking and likeminded friends who had vision and
anticipated challenges of post quota regime conceived and set up first cluster of its type
(which is not of physical proximity but in reality is a cluster of minds) for garment exporters
in the country i.e. Okhla Garment & Textiles Cluster (OGTC). The guiding principle of
OGTC is the cooperation, combining talents and abilities. The approach is to combine own
efforts with the efforts of others to achieve the greatest success. The Ministry of Small Scale
Industries – Small Industries Service Institute and Textile committee Ministry of Textile
Govt. of India, has facilitated the formation. OGTC has initiated trust building with all the
stakeholders in the supply chain and is having detailed diagnostic studies to identify the
common self needs. The basic objectives of OGTC are
To have a collective approach of being more competitive in the world market and seek
government’s attention in more authoritative manner.
To develop linkages between the local industrial units, technological and research
institutes.
To assist members for developing common sourcing of all inputs, training and capacity
building exercises to achieve economies of scale for the SME’s.
The OGTC members continuously exchange information on technology, export orders,

marketing facilities, sourcing of fabrics & accessories, Sharing excess or idle capacities with the
result each member is able to optimally utilize his facilities and move towards being more
competitive.
OGTC linkages with several institutions for increasing competitiveness such as SISI, AEPC,
NIFT, Textiles Committee, Pearl Academy of Fashion, IIT Delhi, Lady Irwin college, NITRA,
ATDC, National institute of packaging, Delhi Fire Service, UNIDO etc.
It conducts three tires training cum capacity building programme TIER-I programme covers
CEO’S of different factories who undertake combined workshops. TIER-II – In house training
programme for all the production staff having durations from 6 weeks to 24 weeks. TIER-III-
Combined training of middle level managers of member units. The net benefit obtained by the
OGTC are
Across the units productivity increase of 15% to 60% was noticed in specific areas.
Apart from the techniques, the participants have achieved a new vision, which makes them
think in the direction of possible rather than impossible.
A cultural change has started to take place in the respective units.
Improvement is a continuous process.
There is more in sharing than keeping it a secret.
B.14 Case Study of Palsana Enviro Consortium of Surat textiles cluster
Textiles Committee from Ministry of Textiles, Government of India started Counseling to the
office bearers of Palsana Industrial Association (PIA) members for the benefits of common
business operation (CBO). PIA wanted to have a orientation on CBO for their members
Effluent treatment & high power cost pictured as potential area. An awareness programme
was conducted for its member units.
105 (Hundred & five) synthetic dyeing & printing process houses in Palsana region of Surat
comes under cluster approach to form the Palsana Enviro Protection Limited (PEPL)
which was facilitated & promoted by Textiles Committee’s key element of cluster
development strategy as a part of preparation of Small & medium scale enterprises to face the

203
challenges of ever changing complex scenario of post 2004 era. This happens to be country’s
so far biggest consortia.
This is an exemplary common business operation(CBO) in the country promoted to address
the following common felt needs of the stakeholder members
1. To create common infrastructure for the member units to enable them to protect &
nurture the environment.
2. To avoid the individual discharge of raw effluent directly to environment
3. To protect the ground water level in the surrounding area
This 100 MLD (Million Litre per day) common effluent treatment plant project costs near
about 45.49 crore which is the major commitment to control the pollution of water in the
cluster.
Some of the processing units accumulate the effluents of different sub Processes such as
scouring, dyeing, printing, rinsing etc at common place for primary treatment in their own
plant and discharge directly to the environment. Other units directly discharge the
accumulated effluent to the environment. These both types of effluents would be the inputs
for proposed CETP which in turn would be the admixture of very high loaded effluent stream
of Scouring, dyeing & printing & Comparatively lesser loaded effluent stream of rinsing etc.
The members of the consortia so far raised about 15.22 crores as a contribution towards the
project on a monthly basis deposit through post dated cheques.

Textiles Committee facilitated the consortia by hiring the expert from PUM, (formerly
Netherland Management Co-operation Programme), MR. Gerad D. Boer in assistance
required for addressing the common problem for reducing the effluent treated water to
permissible water quality which could be used to recharge the groundwater level , decision
making for type of biological treatment (aerobic/nonaerobic) treatment , suitable methods for
reducing the treated effluent water in order to recharge the groundwater and useful tips for the
sustainability of CETP in long run. The foreign consultant proposed for Up-flow Anaerobic
Sludge process. In this process tanks equipped for the anaerobic process will replace chemical
dosing and clari floculators. This first stage of the process will achieve a treatment rate of
about 50%. The second stage of aerobic will be maintained but with 3 instead of 2 secondary
clarifier.
B.15 Case study of Bangalore Machine Tools Machineries Cluster
The machine tool cluster of Bangalore encompasses about 125 firms, including 45 machine tool
manufacturers (MTMs) and 7/0 to 80 small-scale producers of machine components. The cluster
has a turnover of Rs 2,500 million (US$50 million), approximately 40% of India’s total produc-
tion of machine tools. However, most of this arises from domestic sales of the large MTMs.
In 1999, when UNIDO began its assistance to the Bangalore cluster, the Indian Machine Tools
Manufacturers Association (IMTMA) was the main organization for MTMs. Its membership
consisted predominantly of large scale manufacturers arid the association mostly dealt with
rnacro issues. Small-scale units were mostly disorganized and lacked the capacity of Collectively
addressing their problems, the greatest of which was their inability to market their products.
A recession in the domestic market and the mounting competition from foreign producers inten-
sified the need for improved sales techniques. Traditionally, the small-scale manufacturers had
been selling their Machines through personal connections. However, this strategy was not
applicable in export markets. The small firms needed to take tip aggressive marketing and to
obtain national and international market linkages as well as support services to upgrade their
products’ quality in order to remain competitive in a global market. All this was, however,
beyond their individual reach.

To address these needs, the UNIDO cluster development programme had to take at) active lead to
promote the creation of several consortia. The programme concentrated on the more dynamic.
Firms, relying on their leadership to rope in more members. To limit the scope for internal con-
flict, it was decided that Firms should not be competitors in the markets, but should produce
complementary goods.
Furthermore, it was agreed that members of a consortium should be of similar size in terms of
production capacity and ability to invest.
Overall, 56 firms were organized into nine marketing consortia. The programme further helped
these groups to form an umbrella association, called the Association for Bangalore Machine
Tool Consortia (ABIMTC, to provide a platform to exchange information. The newly created
cluster were assisted in hiring, a coordinator (called Network Development Agent or NDA in
short) to run the day-to-day activities of the consortium. However, it soon became clear that the
NDAs that could be recruited locally were not very competent. Moreover, the leadership of some
consortia proved unable to effectively guide the NDAs. Most notably, essential skills pertaining
to conflict resolution were abundantly missing among the NDAs available locally. To overcome
these problems, UNIDO provided capacity training to the NDAs, including on-the-job training
and two formal sessions for NDAs.
Each individual consortium has pooled its members’ resources to undertake various common
marketing initiatives which individual small firm could not undertake due to the high costs
involved. Although activities were initially aimed at the domestic market, they were quickly
adapted to foreign markets. Achievements of the consortia, within the six months following their
creation, include the elaboration of common brochures, establishment of joint marketing offices
across the country, appointment of common marketing dealers and Consultants, creation of
common websites, joint advertising campaigns, a common warehouse and collective participa-
tion in several international exhibitions, both in India and abroad. Overall, these new marketing
channels have generated business worth Rs 23 million (US$460.000) and enquiries worth Rs 161
million (US$3.22 million).

One of the main achievements in terms of export-related activities so far has been the entry of
one consortium into the Chinese market. Throughout the cluster China was traditionally
perceived as a competitor for Indian goods and none of the consortia members was willing to
venture into the Chinese market. However, Chinese machine tools are typically standardized and
a shortage of customized machine tools exists. The UNIDO programme therefore called in a
Business Development Service (BDS) provider to point Out this market niche to the firms, who
began to see China as an opportunity instead of a threat. The members of the Bangalore Machine
Tool Manufacturer’s Network (BMTMN) became interested in organizing a study tour to China
and charged their NDA with preparing the mission. Two months later, a delegation of BMTMN
embarked on their study tour to gain more information on the Chinese market and on the poten-
tial prospects for Indian A firms. The study tour, which included visits to MTMs in China,
buyers, fairs and support institutions, was perceived as a success arid shortly afterwards, the
consortium sent two members back to China to assess the need for establishing a sales office. It
Was found that the creation of a common office was premature and alternative distribution
channels were identified. In addition to these missions, three members of the consortium
participated in an international fair in China where they distributed BMTMN’s common brochure
on behalf of the other members.
As a result of BMTMN’s positive experience, other consortia, with the support of ABMTC,
have prepared study tours to countries besides China arid have organized their participation to
important international fairs abroad.
Cooperation between member firms has improved due to their membership in the consortia.
Consortia can share enquiries: often, ail order is received by a firm that is not in a position to take
tip the work. In such cases, the members can share the enquiry within the consortium and if
nobody is in a position to take up the work, the enquiry is passed to other consortia, Firms are
thus becoming more confident that they can take tip large-volume orders and share them among
each other. Additionally, members have referred their customers to Other consortium members
and have developed a database of buyers, thereby increasing the customer base for all firms.

B.16 Case Study of Shantipur Handloom Textiles Cluster in Bengal
Shantipur is India’s one of the largest Handloom Hub of 70,000 looms in the district of Nadia
of West Bengal. The major products of this cluster are Shantipur Sarees, Stoles, Scarves,
Dress Materials etc. The core cluster actors are Weavers, Master Weavers, Dyers &
Designers. Other cluster actors are raw material suppliers, equipment suppliers &
Mahajan/Traders. The main strength of the cluster is the rich resources of traditional skills in
jacquard weaving. The major problems of Shantipur is poor quality dyeing, fluctuation of
yarn prices, lack of design inputs & product diversification, absence of business institutions
& single marketing channel. The major threats of the cluster are power loom product, harping
on single product i.e Saree & cost based competition deteriorating the quality.
Under Integrated Handloom Cluster Development Project of DC (Handloom), Textiles
Committee of Ministry of Textiles, Government of India is implementing the Project in
Shantipur. An integrated Action plan has been adopted to address the problems in the areas of
Market linkages, Design & Prototype Product Development, Financial Linkages, Training &
Workshop, Infrastructure Building, Institutional Strengthening, Corpus of Yarn etc.
Several initiatives have been taken in various fronts. As a part of institutional strengthening
11 new consortium of Master Weavers & Weavers are formed taking care of 2500 weavers &
registered under non profitable society act 1961 ; 5 leading consortium formed the federation
for better co-ordination & welfare of weavers. As a part of financial linkages, collateral free
cash credit of Rs. R Lakhs were provided through Mutual Credit Guarantee Fund Schemes
(MCGF) , benefit accrued by 300 weavers. 80 new SHGs are formed and are trained in the
design, marketing & management skills. One designer was engaged from NID, Ahmedabad.
40 new designs were developed through 5 consortiums. International Designer from SES
Germany & PUM Netherlands was engaged for capacity building of local designers &
prototype product development. 7 international experts from different fields of design, dyeing
& market linkages were in involved in this project. Two exclusive product catalogues were
developed for market linkages. Total 46 lakhs sales were generated through participation in

12 fairs at Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bhubaneshwar etc. The Master Weavers
Consortium is taking care of welfare of Weavers through coverage of MGBBY Schemes
B.17 Case Study of Handloom Cluster in Dhatrigram- Samudragarh (Burdwan) in Bengal
There are about 94000 people at Burdwan cluster engaged as part or full time basis in
handloom activities. Besides this, there are remarkable number of designers, dyers, card
makers, traders and auxiliary support providers.Before partition of Bengal i.e. in the year
1942, 12- 14 families of weaving community from ‘Nowakhali’ and Tangail (presently
Bangladesh) district came along-with their looms and concentrated at Hatsimla, Dhatigtram,
and Nasratpur area. They were specialized in weaving of Tangail designed sarees with finer
counts of yarn mainly imported varieties. Each of the weaving manifested areas i.e., Kalna &
Katwa sub division has its own history. The main product in the two different subdivision
vary in their quality, variety and individuality.
It is worthwhile to mention that at present in both the sub division under this cluster, weavers
are engaged not only in producing their traditional item such as Napkin, Lungi, Jamdani
saree, Tangail Saree, Cotton Baluchari etc. but they have broaden their field of activities in
producing various other diversified products like Dress material, Home furnishing fabrics
Stole, Scarves, Shirting material and Nylon Than, Dopatta.
The traditional strength of the industry is its brand equity. The unique design and
craftsmanship produced in Tangail, Jamdani cotton Baluchari sarees by the weavers in this
cluster are the real strength. The major weaknesses of this cluster is absence of marketing
platform of State Apex body, it is fully dependent on trader group, inferior quality of dyeing
also leads to deterioration of the quality of final product which ultimately impeding the
progress of the cluster, infrastructural facility e.g., improve road condition, rural
electrification, adequate railway communication as well as road transport are far below the
expectation. The major threats of the cluster is emergence of power loom for product items
like Lungi, Napkin (Gamcha) etc., Decline in demand of sarees, Increase in demand of low
cost power loom product, Competition from nearby cluster inside as well as outside State &

209
absence of occupational alternatives and legal framework leads to deterioration of the
standard quality of the cluster product.
A holistic action plan was developed for implementation. Several areas were identified for
capacity building of local stakeholders like financial linkages, market linkages, Design &
Product Development, Training, Strengthening of Associations, infrastructure & Corpus of
Yarn etc. 52 SHGs formed involving 672 weavers & all weavers are covered under insurance
schemes (MGBBY). One consortium formed & registered to run the CFC/ Dye House. 20
Local Designers were trained at NIFT Kolkata for new techniques of value addition &
diversified product. Local dyers were also trained at Government College of Textile
Technology to adopt systematic Dyeing which affects cost reduction & improved dyed shades
28 no. of designs developed by Cluster Designer which has been published through product
catalogue for link up with big market. 72 lakhs retail sales generated through participation 10
numbers of Expo/ Exhibitions throughout India by SHG based association/ PWCs under
Cluster; 7.8 lakhs orders generated & sold through participation in 6 no of Buyer Sellers
Meet. Through Cluster Based Depot individual weavers are getting small quantity of hank
yarn under Mill Gate Price Scheme; An amount of Rs. 8.27 lakhs (3032 Kgs) of Hank Yarn
utilized in 2 cycles has been distributed to 374 individual weavers. 3100 weavers covered
under Health Schemes & an amount of Rs. 7,00,340 cheques issued to weavers . 261 students
got scholarship amounting Rs 2,38,200 through MGBBY by virtue of coverage of 1700
weavers.

APPENDIX – 2
CASE STUDIES OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES IN INDIA
B.1 Case study Of Alleppey coir cluster in Kerala State
In the case of coir cluster Alleppey, a network of small of exporters had been evolved by the
coir Board and EDI in 2001. The rationale of perusing exports in a consortium mode was
that most members were hitherto indirect exporters, though some were into direct exports.
The network sought to spread the cost of meeting expenditure in communication and
promotion costs (common website, catalogues, sample preparation and trade fair
participation). The network in this case facilitated sharing of relevant expenditure in this
venture whose success was uncertain. They also had to compete with larger established
exporters.
B.2 Case Study Of Kannur Handloom Cluster in Kerala State
In the handloom cluster of Kannur, co-operatives networked and evolved Consortia. The
heads of the co-operatives (Chairmen, President, and Secretaries) assumed membership in
networks (consortia) registered under charitable societies Act. About 7000 weavers and 50
co-operatives societies networked as 4 consortia, under the ageis of the Directorate of
Handlooms, Government of Kerala. Four consortia have established common marketing
outlets. The cost of renting outlets was high, as were the expenses in furnishing them. The
uncertainty in terms of benefits prompted the establishment of these consortia. One of the
two outlets established by a consortium and located in a prime ( and costly) location has
been doing well; the other outlet, established by another consortium whose members were
not prepared to assume such risk, did not do as well as it opted for a relatively cheaper
location.
B.3 Case Study of Seafood cluster in Kochi & Food processing cluster at Madurai
SMEs and enterprise members of industrial associations in India setup special Purpose
Vehicles (SPVs or in effect, consortia of enterprises) to establish common infrastructure and
CFC facilities. These SPVs are expected to represent enterprises in the cluster and often
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
194
include a large number of enterprises – between 10 medium –sized enterprises ( supported
under the Ministry of Food Processing Industries ( MoFPI) schemes for establishing food
Parks) in Seafood Cluster near Kochi.
Another example is the cereals, pulses and Staples milling cluster at Madurai that has over
150 SMEs and which has been sanctioned support under the IIUS.
B.4 Case study of rice Millers cluster in Kalady near Kochi, Kerala
Similarly, to optimally utilize by products and waste in rice milling cluster in Kalady, cluster
enterprises have jointly implemented projects like a rice bran oil extraction unit, and have
also planned a refinery to ensure full utilization of installed capacities. Given the high fixed
cost in such projects, even cost of small reductions in utilized capacity could in high
increases in unit cost of production. Cluster enterprises are also implementing common
projects to generate bio- gas and hence reduce their power costs. Optimizing costs of power
and appropriate value addition is enhancing the relative competitiveness of SMEs
The consortium of the rice milling cluster units at Kalady, also established a common
storage facility for purchase of consumables such as gears, shafts, pulleys and belt drives.
Tyres for trucks and light commercial vehicles are also jointly and directly sourced from
manufacturers. The focus of the network was to leverage bulk buying from suppliers.
B.5 Case Study Of Aroor Seafood Park
The Seafood park has “peeling sheds” and CFCs of international ( EU approved)
standard for benefits of exporters in the cluster. The Marine product Export Development
Authority (MPEDA) and Kerala Infrastructure Development Authority (KINFRA) took the
lead. KINFRA has strived to promote shed off-take in the park by means of publicizing the
park through the internet. Meetings with industry associations were organized by MPEDA
and KINFRA to encourage participation of industry. A separate entity, Marine Product
Infrastructure Development Corporation (MIDCON) had been established to provide the
“bridge finance” in such infrastructure projects for the seafood cluster in the region.
The park took several years to come up with the public authorities using a carrot and
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
195
stick approach to raise the contribution and involvement levels of all industry
stakeholders.
B.6 Case Study of Kottayam rubber Consortium in Kerala
In the rubber cluster at kottayam, one of the earliest Indian consortiums, the NRFPMC
which registered as a private limited entity has about 38 members. As members progress into
larger ventures, increase membership base and look for more equity contributions, the
network may evolve into a public company. Private limited entity contributions, the network
may evolve into a public company. A private limited entity facilitates constant growth and
free entry and exit of members and therefore towards higher sustainability.
This consortium initially registered with an authorized capital of Rs. 10 lakh had 19
members. In order to create a corpus to establish a raw material bank with a cash credit limit
of Rs. 60 lakhs from the State Bank of Travancore, it raised its authorized capital of Rs. 25
lakhs. As also number of members increased, they were able to implement a CFC involving
a capital expenditure of about Rs. 2.5 crores. To pursue other common initiatives such as an
even larger “tufting” facility or a larger common cost optimizing bio-gas or wind energy
generating option, the network may progressively evolve into a public entity.
B.7 Case Study of common facility center at Bellary
In order to provide testing facilities to several cotton growers, the local growers association
joined hands with Textiles Committee to set up a common facility at Bellary under public-
private partnership. While the land & building were provided by the association, equipment
was contributed by the Textiles Committee on long-term lease basis to create the common
facility.
B.8 Case Study of Pochampally Handloom Cluster
Pochampally, a small town in Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh, is a handloom cluster
known for its unique Ikat design. While working on consortium development, the Textiles
Committee has began to explore ways in which the traditional product could be protected
using contemporary legal provisions. Geographical Indications (GI) was the obvious
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
196
choice. As a result of these efforts, Pochampally become the 1st textile craft to obtain
protection for its design under geographical indications Act. The application for registration
of Pochampally Ikat was filed on December 15, 2003 with the register of GI in Chennai, and
the certificate issued on 31st December 2004. The GI registration, which is a statutory
protection, involves making a case for the uniqueness of the product that is Pochampally
Ikat.this involves both technical details of the process ( tying and dyeing of threads in a
visualized design prior to the weaving of the fabric) and the product ( which are sarees,
fabric, rumals, carpets, rugs and mats). The protection means that nobody else can claim that
they are producing pochampally Ikats; nor can they pass off similar looking product.
A center for Handlooms and Artisans information, (CHAI), which is described as marketing-
cum- intelligence center at Pochampally, is run by Sanghamitra, a local NGO and was
formed with the intervention of Textiles Committee. The center documents tie- dye process
and acts as an information hub, whether its market information or designs or information
regarding government schemes and programmes. They also facilitate technical developments
and product diversifications.
B.9 Case Study of Jaipur Hand Block Printed Textile Cluster
Jaipur hand block printed textile cluster is a classic case of traditional handicraft cluster
coming to terms with the changing social and economic environment. The art of hand block
printing is 500 years Al and used to serve mass demand for traditionally printed dress
material, furnishings, etc. Moreover, royal choices of the Jaipur estate used to sustain the
demand for exquisite handicraft products. With the onset of mechanization and changing
social values, machine-made clothes reduced the demand for hand block printed textiles
while ‘royal’ demand faded away. Falling demand pushed the cash-starved printers to
undercut each other’s wages at the cost of quality. Moreover, as running water started to dry
up, the falling trust within the cluster reduced the propensity to collaborate for the revival of
crumbling infrastructure. Search for survival led to finding easier ways for making money
and closed all avenues related to building of new knowledge base and progressive working on
improving productivity~ In 1960 the advent of screen printing which is 10 to 20 times faster

and much cheaper offered a severe threat to the traditional block printed crafts and swept the
mass market with near similar products being prepared both by block and screen printing.
It was in January 1997 that UNIDO adopted the hand block printed textile cluster of Jaipur
under its Cluster Development Programme to establish the utility of the new approach in a
typical handicraft cluster – with declining performance but abundant export and employment
potential. The intervention by UNIDO started with a diagnostic study that identified clear
prospects for specialization on high-value added products on account of the high ethnic
content of product design and of eco-friendly dyes. The study, however, highlighted the
barriers that prevented the Jaipur hand-block printers from tapping such market niches. These
barriers were” related to poor control over product quality” (in turn related to difficulties in
procurement of raw materials and poorly skilled workforce), inability to respond to
medium-scale orders in a timely and effective manner, credit constraints and weak market
position, wherein hand-block printers were at the mercy of traders. Initiatives undertaken
after UNIDO interventions are Linking with up-markets in India and abroad, Provision of
technical training Credit through Mutual Credit, Guarantee Fund mechanism , Refurbishing
traditional designs Pollution control and thereby creating better working and living
conditions, Sustaining adequate infrastructure development
The outcome of UNIDO’s intervention in Jaipur has been significant, as testified by a wealth
of quantitative as well as qualitative evidence. Most importantly, the multifaceted
interventions at Jaipur have over time equipped the cluster actors to effectively initiate action
autonomously without UNIDO assistance. Several consortia, self help groups, local and state
level support institutions have now grown accustomed to collaborate and are fully capable to
identify their dynamic needs and find means to overcome the barriers. The number of
support institutions directly involved and collaborating in the cluster has increased from one
in 1997 to ten apart from the thirteen technical support institutions currently involved in the
development of the cluster.

B.10 Case Study of Tirupur Hosiery Cluster
Tirupur, a small township 60 Kms away from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu is said to breed
millionaires. This small town is no doubt substantial. Nearly 80% of the nation’s knitwear
exports originate from this town that is renowned in the cotton knitwear sector and thus is
replete with specialized sectoral know-how. Now a days, Tirupur knitwear production finds
its way into the world market and provides employment to 300,000 people. There is no doubt
that Tirupur provides a striking example of the remarkable achievements. Yet, the cluster of
Tirupur faces new challenges as it clearly emerged when UNIDO conducted a diagnostic
study in 1996. In spite of the improved production process and consequently the higher
quality of the products over the previous decade, Tirupur products still suffered due to a poor
international image of a cheap low quality production cluster. The cluster was still lagging
behind its international competitors in yarn diversification with changing trends (from 100%
cotton to blended knitwear). Yarn diversification has become a necessary component to
higher quality products. These inter-related problems were putting a question mark on the
long term sustainability of Tirupur’s success, especially in light of the rapid erosion of
barriers to trade in the international markets.
Initiatives undertaken after UNIDO Interventions are Promotion of Common Brand for
Tirupur Knitwear, Quality Assurance, Waste Minimization, Cleaner Production, Product
Diversification, Human Resource Development, International Benchmarking through
exposure visits to Italy and China. With the commencement of UNIDO intervention at
Tirupur in 1997, efforts were made to place this dynamic cluster that had already made its
mark in the international arena, on a higher growth trajectory through international
benchmarking. Common brand building has been taken up as a flagship initiative to correct
Tirupur’s image in the international arena. Quality, market management, technology up
gradation for better working conditions, yarn diversification, energy conservation etc. were
the areas that required action to complement the brand building exercise.

As a result of UNIDO intervention, a significant increase in the capacities of several
institutions has been ensured. The NIFT-TEA Centre has introduced several new industry
specific training courses, undertook industry linkages, made changes in its curricula and
forged linkages with other national institutes of repute. Other industry associations such as
South India Hosiery Manufacturers Association and Tirupur Dyers Association have been
very active in undertaking several new development initiatives for their members. The local
support institutions such as the Textiles Committee, South India Textile Research
Association, Indian Statistical Institute and Centre for Environment Education have been
activated to undertake complementary roles towards budding a more dynamic cluster. Within
Tirupur Exporters Association, an effective information cell has been setup to update its
members about the ongoing challenges arising from WTO.
B.11 Case Study of Handloom Cluster in Chanderi
Chanderi is a small town of 30,000 inhabitants. In the year 2002, gthe cluster had about 3659
working looms providing direct & indirect employment of about 18,000 persons and an
estimated annual turn over of Rs 150 million. Around 1100 looms are in the cooperative
sector. There are about 45 master weavers and 12 traders. At the beginning of the
intervention, apart from a local Resource Centre and an office of MP Hast Shilpa Vikas
Nigam, all other institutions were located outside Chanderi. The cluster development Project
at Chanderi has led to the formation of a weaver’s organization (BVS). BVS is doing
business with a number of up market clientele. The Weavers of BVS are not only getting
higher wages, they are also enjoying profit. Credit has also been arranged for the weavers
through formal Channels. Regular Savings by the SHGs and the efficient business systems of
BVs were created to improve the mutual confidence between the banks and Weaver
community. It was identified that the cheap credit can be mobilized through credit lines of
National Minorities Development Corporation (NMDC). Besides an NGO given an interest
free loan & ONGC provides working capital to BVS.

Simultaneously various technical & related infrastructure issues including improved dyeing,
wider width looms, a yarn depot and a dye house had been introduced. Chanderi Saris got
registered under geographical indication Act through a newly created organization of
weavers, master weavers and Traders- Chanderi Development Foundation. Activities for the
empowerment of women weavers were also introduced through specialized agencies. These
social empowerment initiatives are being mainstreamed through the best suited local
institutions. The programme was implemented by UNIDO CDP, also with the support
Department of Rural Industries, Government of Madhya Pradesh.
B.12 Case Study of Classic terry towel consortium of Solapur Textiles Cluster
In order to face global competition, the consortium approach has been gaining popularity in
the Solapur Power loom Industry. In the near future this approach also promises bright
chances of increase in the export of Terry Towels of Solapur. It is however, difficult for the
manufacturers to complete big order in a limited time schedule. In fact a single power loom
owner / exporter was not in a position to take on big order. In order to overcome these
difficulties, the consortium approach is being practiced in Solapur. Under this model, two or
more manufacturers have come together to form a consortium. One consortium comprising 0
firms registered under the name and style Classic Terry Towel Consortium (India) Pvt.
Limited (CTTC). Another one of a private limited Company under the name & style Euro
Consortium Pvt. Limited. Every month, EURO consortium collectively purchases raw
material, dyes, auxiliaries, etc. from own sources. This consortium has achieved success in the
manufacturing stage and would venture into combined marketing of products. Formation of
consortia is being implemented under the guidance of Textiles Committee & Textiles
Development Foundation. This cluster model has attracted exporters as well as the power
loom manufacturers from the local market.
After the cluster approach , 10 units has adopted ISO QMS 9001-2000. The Textiles
Committee offered BDS providers. As a result of the training programmes on yarn dyeing
there have been substantial improvements in bleaching & dyeing practices and water
absorbency in several units.
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
201
The Euro-Terry Towel consortium involving 42 members has realized a reduction on
purchase costs of yarn by about Rs 25 lakhs by means of common purchase. The Classic terry
towel consortium involving 9 members is progressively and common sourcing dyes and
chemicals ( including hydrogen peroxide, packing materials, lubricants oils etcetera targeting
a savings of Rs. 18 lakhs).
Demonstration of technology options and exposure visits has facilitated greater
competitiveness of Cluster SMEs. The classic terry towel consortium members have realized
a total direct export turnover of about Rs 70 Lakhs. Most of orders were secured through
participation in fairs in India. Some were also secured over b2b meets in Europe.
B.13 Case Study of Okhla Garment & Textiles Cluster
With the above backdrop a few forward looking and likeminded friends who had vision and
anticipated challenges of post quota regime conceived and set up first cluster of its type
(which is not of physical proximity but in reality is a cluster of minds) for garment exporters
in the country i.e. Okhla Garment & Textiles Cluster (OGTC). The guiding principle of
OGTC is the cooperation, combining talents and abilities. The approach is to combine own
efforts with the efforts of others to achieve the greatest success. The Ministry of Small Scale
Industries – Small Industries Service Institute and Textile committee Ministry of Textile
Govt. of India, has facilitated the formation. OGTC has initiated trust building with all the
stakeholders in the supply chain and is having detailed diagnostic studies to identify the
common self needs. The basic objectives of OGTC are
To have a collective approach of being more competitive in the world market and seek
government’s attention in more authoritative manner.
To develop linkages between the local industrial units, technological and research
institutes.
To assist members for developing common sourcing of all inputs, training and capacity
building exercises to achieve economies of scale for the SME’s.
The OGTC members continuously exchange information on technology, export orders,

marketing facilities, sourcing of fabrics & accessories, Sharing excess or idle capacities with the
result each member is able to optimally utilize his facilities and move towards being more
competitive.
OGTC linkages with several institutions for increasing competitiveness such as SISI, AEPC,
NIFT, Textiles Committee, Pearl Academy of Fashion, IIT Delhi, Lady Irwin college, NITRA,
ATDC, National institute of packaging, Delhi Fire Service, UNIDO etc.
It conducts three tires training cum capacity building programme TIER-I programme covers
CEO’S of different factories who undertake combined workshops. TIER-II – In house training
programme for all the production staff having durations from 6 weeks to 24 weeks. TIER-III-
Combined training of middle level managers of member units. The net benefit obtained by the
OGTC are
Across the units productivity increase of 15% to 60% was noticed in specific areas.
Apart from the techniques, the participants have achieved a new vision, which makes them
think in the direction of possible rather than impossible.
A cultural change has started to take place in the respective units.
Improvement is a continuous process.
There is more in sharing than keeping it a secret.
B.14 Case Study of Palsana Enviro Consortium of Surat textiles cluster
Textiles Committee from Ministry of Textiles, Government of India started Counseling to the
office bearers of Palsana Industrial Association (PIA) members for the benefits of common
business operation (CBO). PIA wanted to have a orientation on CBO for their members
Effluent treatment & high power cost pictured as potential area. An awareness programme
was conducted for its member units.
105 (Hundred & five) synthetic dyeing & printing process houses in Palsana region of Surat

which was facilitated & promoted by Textiles Committee’s key element of cluster
development strategy as a part of preparation of Small & medium scale enterprises to face the
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
203
challenges of ever changing complex scenario of post 2004 era. This happens to be country’s
so far biggest consortia.
This is an exemplary common business operation(CBO) in the country promoted to address
the following common felt needs of the stakeholder members
1. To create common infrastructure for the member units to enable them to protect &
nurture the environment.
2. To avoid the individual discharge of raw effluent directly to environment
3. To protect the ground water level in the surrounding area
This 100 MLD (Million Litre per day) common effluent treatment plant project costs near
about 45.49 crore which is the major commitment to control the pollution of water in the
cluster.
Some of the processing units accumulate the effluents of different sub Processes such as
scouring, dyeing, printing, rinsing etc at common place for primary treatment in their own
plant and discharge directly to the environment. Other units directly discharge the
accumulated effluent to the environment. These both types of effluents would be the inputs
for proposed CETP which in turn would be the admixture of very high loaded effluent stream
of Scouring, dyeing & printing & Comparatively lesser loaded effluent stream of rinsing etc.
The members of the consortia so far raised about 15.22 crores as a contribution towards the
project on a monthly basis deposit through post dated cheques.
M/s Palsana Environment Protection Limited (PEPL) under the chairmanship of Mr. Ravindra
Arya of M/s Bindal Silk Mills Pvt. Ltd has opened a separate office. The Palsana Enviro
Limited (PEPL) has created a separate website namely www.palsanaenviro.com.
They have employed a reputed consultant for main project MWH India Private Limited.
Palsana Enviro Pvt. Limited has a deputed a reputed environmental consultant & Director as a
General Manager of ISO 9000:2000 certified company of Polycon Laboraties Pvt. Limited ,
Surat.

Textiles Committee facilitated the consortia by hiring the expert from PUM, (formerly
Netherland Management Co-operation Programme), MR. Gerad D. Boer in assistance
required for addressing the common problem for reducing the effluent treated water to
permissible water quality which could be used to recharge the groundwater level , decision
making for type of biological treatment (aerobic/nonaerobic) treatment , suitable methods for
reducing the treated effluent water in order to recharge the groundwater and useful tips for the
sustainability of CETP in long run. The foreign consultant proposed for Up-flow Anaerobic
Sludge process. In this process tanks equipped for the anaerobic process will replace chemical
dosing and clari floculators. This first stage of the process will achieve a treatment rate of
about 50%. The second stage of aerobic will be maintained but with 3 instead of 2 secondary
clarifier.
B.15 Case study of Bangalore Machine Tools Machineries Cluster
The machine tool cluster of Bangalore encompasses about 125 firms, including 45 machine tool
manufacturers (MTMs) and 7/0 to 80 small-scale producers of machine components. The cluster
has a turnover of Rs 2,500 million (US$50 million), approximately 40% of India’s total produc-
tion of machine tools. However, most of this arises from domestic sales of the large MTMs.
In 1999, when UNIDO began its assistance to the Bangalore cluster, the Indian Machine Tools
Manufacturers Association (IMTMA) was the main organization for MTMs. Its membership
consisted predominantly of large scale manufacturers arid the association mostly dealt with
rnacro issues. Small-scale units were mostly disorganized and lacked the capacity of Collectively
addressing their problems, the greatest of which was their inability to market their products.
A recession in the domestic market and the mounting competition from foreign producers inten-
sified the need for improved sales techniques. Traditionally, the small-scale manufacturers had
been selling their Machines through personal connections. However, this strategy was not
applicable in export markets. The small firms needed to take tip aggressive marketing and to
obtain national and international market linkages as well as support services to upgrade their
products’ quality in order to remain competitive in a global market. All this was, however,
beyond their individual reach.
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
205
To address these needs, the UNIDO cluster development programme had to take at) active lead to
promote the creation of several consortia. The programme concentrated on the more dynamic.
Firms, relying on their leadership to rope in more members. To limit the scope for internal con-
flict, it was decided that Firms should not be competitors in the markets, but should produce
complementary goods.
Furthermore, it was agreed that members of a consortium should be of similar size in terms of
production capacity and ability to invest.
Overall, 56 firms were organized into nine marketing consortia. The programme further helped
these groups to form an umbrella association, called the Association for Bangalore Machine
Tool Consortia (ABIMTC, to provide a platform to exchange information. The newly created
cluster were assisted in hiring, a coordinator (called Network Development Agent or NDA in
short) to run the day-to-day activities of the consortium. However, it soon became clear that the
NDAs that could be recruited locally were not very competent. Moreover, the leadership of some
consortia proved unable to effectively guide the NDAs. Most notably, essential skills pertaining
to conflict resolution were abundantly missing among the NDAs available locally. To overcome
these problems, UNIDO provided capacity training to the NDAs, including on-the-job training
and two formal sessions for NDAs.
Each individual consortium has pooled its members’ resources to undertake various common
marketing initiatives which individual small firm could not undertake due to the high costs
involved. Although activities were initially aimed at the domestic market, they were quickly
adapted to foreign markets. Achievements of the consortia, within the six months following their
creation, include the elaboration of common brochures, establishment of joint marketing offices
across the country, appointment of common marketing dealers and Consultants, creation of
common websites, joint advertising campaigns, a common warehouse and collective participa-
tion in several international exhibitions, both in India and abroad. Overall, these new marketing
channels have generated business worth Rs 23 million (US$460.000) and enquiries worth Rs 161
million (US$3.22 million).

206
One of the main achievements in terms of export-related activities so far has been the entry of
one consortium into the Chinese market. Throughout the cluster China was traditionally
perceived as a competitor for Indian goods and none of the consortia members was willing to
venture into the Chinese market. However, Chinese machine tools are typically standardized and
a shortage of customized machine tools exists. The UNIDO programme therefore called in a
Business Development Service (BDS) provider to point Out this market niche to the firms, who
began to see China as an opportunity instead of a threat. The members of the Bangalore Machine
Tool Manufacturer’s Network (BMTMN) became interested in organizing a study tour to China
and charged their NDA with preparing the mission. Two months later, a delegation of BMTMN
embarked on their study tour to gain more information on the Chinese market and on the poten-
tial prospects for Indian A firms. The study tour, which included visits to MTMs in China,
buyers, fairs and support institutions, was perceived as a success arid shortly afterwards, the
consortium sent two members back to China to assess the need for establishing a sales office. It
Was found that the creation of a common office was premature and alternative distribution
channels were identified. In addition to these missions, three members of the consortium
participated in an international fair in China where they distributed BMTMN’s common brochure
on behalf of the other members.
As a result of BMTMN’s positive experience, other consortia, with the support of ABMTC,
have prepared study tours to countries besides China arid have organized their participation to
important international fairs abroad.
Cooperation between member firms has improved due to their membership in the consortia.
Consortia can share enquiries: often, ail order is received by a firm that is not in a position to take
tip the work. In such cases, the members can share the enquiry within the consortium and if
nobody is in a position to take up the work, the enquiry is passed to other consortia, Firms are
thus becoming more confident that they can take tip large-volume orders and share them among
each other. Additionally, members have referred their customers to Other consortium members
and have developed a database of buyers, thereby increasing the customer base for all firms.

B.16 Case Study of Shantipur Handloom Textiles Cluster in Bengal
Shantipur is India’s one of the largest Handloom Hub of 70,000 looms in the district of Nadia
of West Bengal. The major products of this cluster are Shantipur Sarees, Stoles, Scarves,
Dress Materials etc. The core cluster actors are Weavers, Master Weavers, Dyers &
Designers. Other cluster actors are raw material suppliers, equipment suppliers &
Mahajan/Traders. The main strength of the cluster is the rich resources of traditional skills in
jacquard weaving. The major problems of Shantipur is poor quality dyeing, fluctuation of
yarn prices, lack of design inputs & product diversification, absence of business institutions
& single marketing channel. The major threats of the cluster are power loom product, harping
on single product i.e Saree & cost based competition deteriorating the quality.
Under Integrated Handloom Cluster Development Project of DC (Handloom), Textiles
Committee of Ministry of Textiles, Government of India is implementing the Project in
Shantipur. An integrated Action plan has been adopted to address the problems in the areas of
Market linkages, Design & Prototype Product Development, Financial Linkages, Training &
Workshop, Infrastructure Building, Institutional Strengthening, Corpus of Yarn etc.
Several initiatives have been taken in various fronts. As a part of institutional strengthening
11 new consortium of Master Weavers & Weavers are formed taking care of 2500 weavers &
registered under non profitable society act 1961 ; 5 leading consortium formed the federation
for better co-ordination & welfare of weavers. As a part of financial linkages, collateral free
cash credit of Rs. R Lakhs were provided through Mutual Credit Guarantee Fund Schemes
(MCGF) , benefit accrued by 300 weavers. 80 new SHGs are formed and are trained in the
design, marketing & management skills. One designer was engaged from NID, Ahmedabad.
40 new designs were developed through 5 consortiums. International Designer from SES
Germany & PUM Netherlands was engaged for capacity building of local designers &
prototype product development. 7 international experts from different fields of design, dyeing
& market linkages were in involved in this project. Two exclusive product catalogues were
developed for market linkages. Total 46 lakhs sales were generated through participation in
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar

12 fairs at Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bhubaneshwar etc. The Master Weavers
Consortium is taking care of welfare of Weavers through coverage of MGBBY Schemes
B.17 Case Study of Handloom Cluster in Dhatrigram- Samudragarh (Burdwan) in Bengal
There are about 94000 people at Burdwan cluster engaged as part or full time basis in
handloom activities. Besides this, there are remarkable number of designers, dyers, card
makers, traders and auxiliary support providers.Before partition of Bengal i.e. in the year
1942, 12- 14 families of weaving community from ‘Nowakhali’ and Tangail (presently
Bangladesh) district came along-with their looms and concentrated at Hatsimla, Dhatigtram,
and Nasratpur area. They were specialized in weaving of Tangail designed sarees with finer
counts of yarn mainly imported varieties. Each of the weaving manifested areas i.e., Kalna &
Katwa sub division has its own history. The main product in the two different subdivision
vary in their quality, variety and individuality.
It is worthwhile to mention that at present in both the sub division under this cluster, weavers
are engaged not only in producing their traditional item such as Napkin, Lungi, Jamdani
saree, Tangail Saree, Cotton Baluchari etc. but they have broaden their field of activities in
producing various other diversified products like Dress material, Home furnishing fabrics
Stole, Scarves, Shirting material and Nylon Than, Dopatta.
The traditional strength of the industry is its brand equity. The unique design and
craftsmanship produced in Tangail, Jamdani cotton Baluchari sarees by the weavers in this
cluster are the real strength. The major weaknesses of this cluster is absence of marketing
platform of State Apex body, it is fully dependent on trader group, inferior quality of dyeing
also leads to deterioration of the quality of final product which ultimately impeding the
progress of the cluster, infrastructural facility e.g., improve road condition, rural
electrification, adequate railway communication as well as road transport are far below the
expectation. The major threats of the cluster is emergence of power loom for product items
like Lungi, Napkin (Gamcha) etc., Decline in demand of sarees, Increase in demand of low
cost power loom product, Competition from nearby cluster inside as well as outside State &
A Study on the Handloom Textiles Clusters In India with Special Reference to Select Clusters in West Bengal Saumen Mapdar
209
absence of occupational alternatives and legal framework leads to deterioration of the
standard quality of the cluster product.
A holistic action plan was developed for implementation. Several areas were identified for
capacity building of local stakeholders like financial linkages, market linkages, Design &
Product Development, Training, Strengthening of Associations, infrastructure & Corpus of
Yarn etc. 52 SHGs formed involving 672 weavers & all weavers are covered under insurance
schemes (MGBBY). One consortium formed & registered to run the CFC/ Dye House. 20
Local Designers were trained at NIFT Kolkata for new techniques of value addition &
diversified product. Local dyers were also trained at Government College of Textile
Technology to adopt systematic Dyeing which affects cost reduction & improved dyed shades
28 no. of designs developed by Cluster Designer which has been published through product
catalogue for link up with big market. 72 lakhs retail sales generated through participation 10
numbers of Expo/ Exhibitions throughout India by SHG based association/ PWCs under
Cluster; 7.8 lakhs orders generated & sold through participation in 6 no of Buyer Sellers
Meet. Through Cluster Based Depot individual weavers are getting small quantity of hank
yarn under Mill Gate Price Scheme; An amount of Rs. 8.27 lakhs (3032 Kgs) of Hank Yarn
utilized in 2 cycles has been distributed to 374 individual weavers. 3100 weavers covered
under Health Schemes & an amount of Rs. 7,00,340 cheques issued to weavers . 261 students
got scholarship amounting Rs 2,38,200 through MGBBY by virtue of coverage of 1700
weavers.
