Dec. 23, 2008 - PRLog -- The cluster development programme for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will be outlined again. The development plan will be redrawn under the joint programme of the Department of Industrial Production and Promotion (DIPP) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (Unido).

So far, eight clusters have been identified for carrying out the Integrated Cluster Development Programme (ICDP). These model clusters include auto components clusters in Pithampura (MP), Chennai and Pune, machine tools cluster in Bangalore, chemical cluster in Ankleshwar, foundry clusters in Coimbatore and Belgaum and leather cluster in Kanpur. The number of SME clusters under the integrated cluster programme would be increased over a period of time.

The execution of the development plan would begin in January, 2009. The cluster programme would have a definite agenda with timelines for achieving them to improve the condition of small scale units.

Technical guidance would also be provided through collaboration between Unido and independent bodies under DIPP such as National Productivity Council and Quality Council of India.  DIPP and Unido had decided to commence a country programme of cooperation in May, 2008 with the aim of enhancing the competitiveness and productivity of small scale industrial units.
