DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR 

SEKTA CLUSTER OF IMPHAL EAST DISTRICT

UNDER INTEGRATED HANDLOOM DEVELOPMENT SCHEME

1. Introduction:

Cluster approach for a holistic development of micro, small and medium enterprises is

 being attempted all over the world particularly in the developing countries including India

on a wider scale. The Development of identified handloom clusters in the third phase of the

implementation of Integrated Handloom Cluster Development Programme in the country.

Towards that end, a Diagnostic study has been conducted on by The Department of 

Commerce & Industries, Govt. of Manipur covering Sekta Handlooms Cluster in Imphal

East District under Integrated Handloom Development Scheme.

The Primary aim of the Diagnostic study is to identify what ails in the cluster. The

detailed objectives of the cluster are detailed below.

• To understand the current socio economic profile of the cluster 

• To evaluate the current status of Handloom Cluster in terms of the product variety,

yarn availability, the number of functional or non-functional looms, role of support

organization and prevailing infrastructure facilities.

• To highlight the constrains faced by the cluster and suggest some action plans for 

future.

In order to fulfill the above mentioned objectives the primary survey in the cluster has

 been conducted as well as diagnostic study by the Department of Commerce &Industries, Govt. of Manipur, for understanding of the cluster is based on analyzing the

value chain that exists in the cluster. It includes the suppliers of raw material (backward

linkage), the Weavers (Producers), the traders/Exporters (Forward linkage), and

support institutions/ organizations. The support institutions are the Government bodies

and social organization which held the various activities of the entire value chain.

Generally, that support organizations include the National Handloom Development

Corporation (NHDC) Ltd., Weavers Service Centre, National Institution of Fashion and

Technology (NIFT), the Weavers Cooperative Societies and master weavers.

A meeting of prominent weavers, Master Weavers, Prominent weaving

community leaders, staff of the Cooperative Societies of cluster has been conducted

and held various discussions regarding availability of raw materials, production

capacity, product diversification, marketing, infrastructure facilities and the problems

 being faced by them are noted below.

 

• Types of product manufactured

• Raw material procurement

• Traditional preparatory work 

• Dyeing and design facilities

• Use of t traditional looms

• Product market structure• Competitive analysis

• Lack of working capital and availability of Finance.

2. Background of the Cluster:

Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India have sanctioned 10 No. of clusters in Manipur. The

first phase for the year 2005-06 was implemented through IIE, Guwahati and another 

09 Nos. of clusters in II and III phase for the year 2007-08 have also been sanctioned.

Evaluation of the Cluster:

Sekta is 13 Km. away from Imphal in the eastern part under Sawombung Sub-Division

of Imphal East Revenue District. The area is adjacent to a Cultural Complex. There is

 population of more than 5000 having about 1250 weaver households in the cluster of 

which about 400 weavers households are affiliated to the Cooperative Society and

remaining weavers are outside the cooperative folds. There are about 850 independent

Weavers, 80 shed weavers, 600 wage weavers and 30 master weavers. Of the total 1050looms in the cluster 60 % are working and 40% are idle. In the cluster, female weavers

are 97% and engaged in the occupation of the weaving industry in the major way even

though their contribution is either paid or poorly paid for the ancillary activities if 

 performed by her outside the family weaving.

The members of the weavers Cooperative Societies are accustomed to weave

cotton and acrylic varieties, like, bed sheet, lungies, towels, mosquito nets, etc. Due to

deteriorated financial position of the Society member are not getting regular work from

the Society consequently a large number of weavers have diverted to the master 

weavers.

The cluster covers 10 adjoining villages. The cluster will cover up the following

villages and lanes of Sekta villages and adjoining areas

Major Players in the Cluster

In this cluster the Master Weavers are playing major role in providing employment to

70% to 80% of the weavers in the cluster. They are supplying raw material in the shape

of warps. The weavers are simply put it on the loom and weaving and return the

finished goods, by taking their wages. There are problems of raw materials, dyeing,

common facilities etc. As such the weavers in the cluster are not doing their jobsuccessfully.

The Officer on Special Duty (Handloom), Deputy Director of Handlooms,

General Manager with his Project Manager (Handloom) and Secretaries of the Societies

are the in-charge of the Cluster for implementation of the Scheme.

ACTION PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT

APPROACH

------

I. Trust Building:

The following action, are to be implemented fro trust building among the weavers.

• Exposures visit to successful clusters

• Conducting workshops at regular intervals

• Workshop on networking strategy has to be conducted

• Workshop on quality appraisal of woven fabrics has to be conducted

II. Quality Awareness:

Quality of the products are not up to the export standards because of less attention being paid

 by the weavers and master weavers as they do not have technically qualified personal for 

quality checking for their final products,. They are to be educated properly to improve the

quality of their products. Therefore, it is proposed to arrange quality awareness campaign on

frequent intervals.

III Raw Material:

A Raw Material centre for supply of different counts of Yarn as required by the Weavers is

 proposed for supply of yarn at the cluster head quarters under the scheme.

IV Common Facility Centre:

Infrastructure proposed for establishing a sizing and warping units ion the cluster head quarters

for preparation of pre-looms processing.

V. Dyeing:

There are no facilities for testing of dyeing fastness of the dyed materials. In many of the dye

houses they are not doing the yarn scouring which lead to uneven dyeing. They are using hard

water for dyeing which also causes uneven dyeing. The Dye houses needs to be modernized

with scouring and water softening plants.

VI. Design Development:

The services of the Weavers Service Centre will be taken for the development of new designs

And training of designers is need to create innovative designs as per the market requirement.

VII. Loom and Accessories:

All the weavers are having traditional pit looms. They require Jacquard, dobbies and

accessories top weave new designs and improved their productivity.
