Project A: Cluster Development Activity

Across industrialised and developing countries, there are growing indications that micro, small and

medium enterprises (MSMEs) can boost their competitiveness through networking and this process is

easier and more sustainable if the rms are situated and work very closely with one another in !lusters"#

A !luster, is therefore, best dened as a sectoral and geographical concentration of enterprises and their

various service providers, producing goods or services, in particular micro, small and medium

enterprises, facing similar threats and opportunities#

Amidst severe competition posed by globalisation today, it is being largely felt that developing clusters of

rms engaged in similar activities would be the most viable approach to develop the small and

traditional industrial sector# $t is in this conte%t that $$E has taken up the !luster &evelopment Approach

to develop small enterprises in 'orth Eastern egion of $ndia to meet the challenging opportunities and

threats in a globalised economy#

PROJECT: REGIONAL RESORCE CENTRE

*iven the status of the micro and small enterprise sector in 'orth East $ndia, the future growth and

sustainability of this sector in the region calls for a proper utilisation of the available resources for its

growth# Moreover, with globalisation as a challenge, growth of clusters can not only lower the cost of

production and make the rms produce at a competitive end but can also give a thrust on accessing a

wider market with state of art technology resulting in better 7uality products#

Micro, small and medium enterprise clusters are being developed to enhance production base and

improve competitiveness, identify new markets, trigger growth, attain economies of scale, create new

employment opportunities, and address regional economic imbalances# $n this direction, &!8MSME,

*overnment of $ndia has mandated $$E to set up a egional esource !entre (!) on cluster

development in the institute"s premises to propagate cluster development approach in 'orth East $ndia

spatially more earnestly# .he ! has its 'odal +9ce in the premises of $$E, *uwahati with state centres
