MSMEs clusters development programme

Under Micro and Small Enterprises – Cluster Development Programme (MSE-CDP), setting up of Common Facility Centre (CFC) in a cluster is supported. MSE-CDP is a demand driven scheme. Under the scheme, 36 projects of CFCs in various clusters (including 07 in Karnataka) have been developed all over country during the last three years (i.e. financial year 2018-19 to 2020-21). The State/UT-wise details are enclosed.

The turnover, production and exports of the cluster depend upon various factors like aggregate domestic and global demand, seasonality besides various factors, which may not be within the control of the units in the cluster. As per a study conducted under 3rd Party Evaluation of the scheme, cluster beneficiaries have reported on an average 35% increase in production, a significant increase in sales as well as exports.

The clusters of artisans are supported by the Ministry under Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries (SFURTI).
