Caption : GUWAHATI?30-08-2010 A Mizo artisan shows Incense Sticks making from bamboo with his indigenously MANUFACTUREd bamboo splinter machine at the three day long Cluster Conclave expo-cum buyer-seller meet of Regional Resource Centre of Cluster Development (RRC) under the Union Ministry of MSME at NEDFi Haat in Guwahati on Monday, August 30, 2010. This is the only event in India which is focused at micro and small enterprise clusters. The exhibition is showcasing the products from 19 different clusters from eight States of North East region as well as three clusters from Uttarkhand. This event was conceptualised to promote the micro and small industry clusters being implemented by RRC of Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship (IIE). The prime objective of this event is to provide competitive edge to these enterprises through market linkages and the provision of interacting with various categories of buyers. Another aim of this conclave is to raise awareness among people about indigenous products of India which are being MANUFACTUREd by highly skilled craftsmen but who are not well equipped to face the competition of an open economy.
