This project has been initiated under the Cluster Development Programme (MSE-CDP) of the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME).
Recently, a memorandum of understanding has been signed with the plan to establish a testing and quality control facility for engineering and plastics, a design corner for product design and development, developing manpower capabilities, establishing a knowledge corner, data centre and library, and developing technology and products for indigenisation.
The facility will benefit over 70 textile accessories and machinery manufacturing industries in and around the city.
The institute will provide the necessary land and buildings for the establishment of the CFC, while the necessary equipment would be acquired under the Cluster Development Programme of MSME.
The CFC would charge a fee for rendering testing services, imparting training, technology consulting, and for developing new products. (KNN/ST)
