About TBM Clusters

A Cluster is defined as a geographical concentration of micro, small & Medium (adjacent villages/ adjoining areas) producing similar products and common opportunities. Cluster represent the socioeconomic heritage of the state/ region where some of the group of villages known for the specific products or a range of complementary products that has been exclusive to the region. In a typical cluster, such producers belong to a traditional community producing the varieties of traditional products for generations (Basketry, Furniture, mats, Handloom, Agarbatti, jewellery, musical instrument etc.).

The cluster based approach is market driven, inclusive, and collaborative. It offers critical mass for customization of interventions, enables economies of scale in operation, cheaper access to inputs & raw materials, better access to information & technology and direct reach to customers & channels.
