Comprehensive Handicrafts Cluster Development Programme

Under the Comprehensive Handicrafts Cluster Development Scheme, interventions such as baseline Survey and activity Mapping, Skill Training, Marketing events, Improved Tool Kits, Publicity, Seminars, capacity building, Design workshops, etc will be provided. The scheme will also provide for Emporiums, Common Facility Centres, Raw Material Banks, Trade Common Production Centres, Facilitation Centres, and Design & Resource Centres.

The Implementing Agency (lA), which will be a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), shall be a legal entity, preferably a company, with the participation of related stakeholders, particularly the leading manufacturers, suppliers, buyers, and artisan federations/SHGs. The SPV shall be selected preferably through an open competitive bidding process. However, selection of SPV would mainly depend on the project profile, activities required to be intervened, and on various other parameters, therefore selection of such suitable SPV after seeking formal approval of PAMC. As the Handicrafts sector is highly unorganized, the procedure for selection of SPV in special cases shall be kept open for PAMC/Government.
