## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SHRI NITIN GADKARI)

- (a): Under  Micro  &  Small  Enterprises  -  Cluster  Development  Programme  (MSE-CDP),  35 clusters  have  been  completed during  financial  year  2016-17 to 2018-19. The State/UT-wise details are enclosed (Annexure-I).
- (b): The targeted beneficiaries of the scheme are Micro & Small Enterprises.
- (c): MSE-CDP Scheme has been approved at cost of Rs.450.00 crore for three financial years (i.e. 2017-18  to  2019-20)  for  supporting  cluster  development  projects  in  the  country.  The  scheme  is demand driven and financial assistance is provided as per the guidelines of the scheme. The details of funds released State/UT-wise for the last three financial years are enclosed (Annexure-II).
- (d): The turnover, production, job creation and exports of the clusters depend upon various factors like aggregate domestic and global demand, seasonality besides various other factors, which may not be  within  the  control  of  the  units  in  the  cluster.  Moreover,  existence  of  the  cluster  and  facilities therein  have  several  externalities  which  also  have  indirect  impact  on  the  turnover,  production,  job creation and exports of the units in and around the clusters.
- (e): Yes Sir. The MSMEs  not covered  under MSE-CDP scheme can avail benefits  under other schemes  of  the  Ministry  such  as  Scheme  of  Fund  for  Regeneration  of  Traditional  Industries (SFURTI),  A  Scheme  for  Promoting  Innovation,  Rural  Industry  &  Entrepreneurship  (ASPIRE), Credit  Linked Capital Subsidy and  Technology Up-gradation Scheme (CLCS- TUS), Procurement and Marketing Support etc.
- (f): The  interventions  under MSE-CDP Scheme  have  helped MSMEs  in  terms of easier & cost effective  availability  of  common  facilities  for  tooling,  production,  packaging,  quality  upgradation, testing,  product  diversification,  marketing,  services  of  common  effluent  treatment  plant,  electrical distribution network and raw material bank, etc.
