12 Major problems/prospects Unpreparedness found among many of cluster entrepreneurs for gearing themselves up to meet /live up to face successfully the rapid changes expected in coming days nationally and globally.
Finance, the most important input, appears to be the crux of the problem most entrepreneurs seem to have confronted hitherto.
Most of the units in the cluster have not obtained ISO certification which places the unit products in ill stead against the backdrop of Rat race/dog-eat-dog sort of competitive market environment-both within the country and outside.
BDS providers are wanting to a great extent.
Even management of units appears to be rather unprofessional going by modern standards.
