Introduction
Cluster development programs are strategies that aim to promote economic growth and development in regions by fostering collaboration among businesses, government entities, and other stakeholders. In India, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) has implemented the Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries (SFURTI) to promote cluster development in the country.
What is Cluster Development?
Cluster development is a strategy that involves grouping similar businesses or industries in a specific geographic area to promote collaboration and foster innovation. By working together, businesses can leverage their collective resources,
expertise, and knowledge to overcome common challenges and achieve common goals. Cluster development can lead to increased competitiveness, improved productivity, and greater profitability for businesses One of the key benefits of cluster development is that it can create a more favorable business environment. Cluster sallow businesses to share infrastructure, such as transportation and telecommunications networks, which can reduce costs and improve efficiency. Additionally, clusters can provide access to a skilled labor pool, which can help businesses to recruit and retain talented employees.

The scheme aims to promote the development of traditional industries, such as handloom, handicrafts, khadi, coir, and village industries, by providing financial assistance to eligible clusters.
Under the SFURTI scheme, clusters are provided with financial assistance for infrastructure development, technology upgradation, capacity building, and market development. The scheme also provides funding for the creation of common facility centers (CFCs) that are used by businesses in the cluster to share resources and improve productivity.
