And there is already evidence. Wipro has given few computers Oxfam, which was established in the city.

The development of industrial clusters as an instrument to increase production, triggering economic growth, poverty reduction and elimination of regional economic disparities gaining dynamism of industry and development. The concept was introduced in India in the Ninth Plan with the support of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). It was the first goal in Kerala in recent years, but given that as a single model.

Unlike other parts of the country, Kerala lacks the “critical mass” of sector-specific units to a site and on the road to development specialised infrastructure, public and private service providers (PPSPs) took an active role in catering to the needs of the cluster. This has service sectors to tailor a plan for technical assistance from UNIDO for the development of clusters in the region. Under this plan, the State itself acts as a cluster PPSP with few links, so the solution to the problem of lack of critical mass.

According to Mr. PH Manoirs, Managing Director, Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation, the small business in the state, according to the Italian model of cooperation on several fronts common placement in this type of gum (Kottayam), coconut (Alappuzha) and against - plywood (Perumbavoor) Cluster; joint acquisition centres such as the raw material bank, supported by governments Bank of Travancore, rubber cluster; reciprocal other financial security institutions and common requirements of marketing in some cases. Cluster is a single element of the Italian industry of the scene and the estimate of 199 clusters employ 2.2 million people. Even more important is that these clusters, more than one third of Italian exports.

Mr. Manoirs, said the cluster in Italy has been able to provide a strong presence in global markets in a number of traditional products such as shoes, leather handbags, knitwear, furniture, tiles, musical instruments and processing of foodstuffs. Indeed, these groups who are in traditional products have been able to increase production and exports in the 1970’s and 1980’s, when large companies in Britain and Germany was the finding courses lasts.

In Kerala, the program was two officials of the Division of the area are sent to the formation of the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, Ahmedabad. But their efforts to go home in 2001 to develop clusters in the area of rubber and Kottayam in Ernakulam district is not as successful as financial institutions have not been totally convinced by the concept. But with the intervention permanent members of a cluster over a year, was born the creation of the first professional and sustainable consortium legally in the country - natural rubber and manufacture of fiber Consortium Private Ltd, he joined mid-2003 with 50 units SSI-members. The creation of a common bank of raw materials with the support of the State Bank of Travancore has launched the project.

Some proactive steps initiated by the consortium includes the development of new products, the formation of the vast network for export, setting up cluster cluster of links and exchanges of sub-contract with the support of the Centre and strengthening links with research institutes for continuity upgradation of technology and new products Mix.

According to Mr. Mansions, the uniqueness of Kerala model is the formation of consortiums in the initial phase of development of a cluster. The initiative was within consortia of small, small and medium enterprises, to ensure that their achievement economies of scale. These consortia are different from those in large clusters operating as Tiruppur and Salem, where each member has a turnover of Rs 20 - 40 crore. Over the past few years, several consortia have evolved Kannur emphasis on the establishment of joint marketing outlets, participation in trade fairs abroad and the promotion of fire, with the support Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode.

A large group of cluster for the development of trained agents (CDAs) was the identification and implementation of studies on clusters and the holding of common training programmes, such as rubber during PPSPs Board of Directors are developing proposals for banks and for the creation of common institution. The division handgewebten coconut Board, State Bank of India and the Committee for textiles, beyond the service sectors during the maintenance of its officials in a hundred CDAs, are now working in different groupings.
