The Government is setting up 15 new technology centres to scale up competitiveness of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through clusters.
Announcing this at CII’s 7th National Cluster Summit here on Wednesday, Madhav Lal, Secretary, MSME Ministry, said “capacity building in areas of cost, productivity, design and soft skills training can altogether transform the growth trajectory of an existing enterprise without a need to invest in infrastructural requirements like land, machinery etc.”
Lal also launched the CII-ZED clusters, which aim to focus on fast-track competence building of the Indian manufacturing sector through intervention in areas like discipline, team work, ‘zero defect, zero effect’ on environment, the Confederation of Indian Industry said in a statement.
Harbhajan Singh, Director General, National Productivity Council, said, “the process of formation of clusters using the Lean Manufacturing Competitiveness Scheme must be simplified”, adding that there was need to motivate the MSME sector.”
