| 12 | Major problems/prospects | All the raw material for making the cane handle is bought from the traders of Jalandhar The products are marketed only within India as there is a lack of awareness on advanced technologies Most of the enterprises in the cluster are family owned businesses The level of awareness of the entrepreneurs, especially in the technical and marketing areas is very low Finance has been a big problem for the entrepreneurs of this cluster. The power cuts/load shedding programme hampers the production. There is hardly any engineer employed in these enterprises and the business is mainly family oriented. There are no training facilities or institutions available within the Anantnag district except the ITI institute. |
