12 Major problems/prospects Units are not acquainted with or willing to adapt to latest technology in their production technology.
Non-availability of experienced and skilled labourers and their unpredictable presence in the enterprises.
Due to scarcity of labour, execution of orders is delayed, that adversely effect the reputation of the units and consequent marketability.
At present there is no financial problem experienced by the units as most of the units are availing OD facilities from the financial institutions.
Unhealthy and unethical competition amongst the units is prevailing due to lack of knowledge about cost calculation, rate of profit etc.
There is lack of awareness among the cluster units regarding cluster development Programme. Trust building and awareness programme have therefore to be strengthened to promote cluster development activity.
The confidence level of existing units, trust worthiness, negative approach to adopt the latest technology.
Lack of awareness of the prevailing situation etc speaks of the lack of interaction.
The present scenario of arrangements for raw materials, financial requirements, marketing management fields all need drastic improvement to usher the cluster development.
