CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF CLUSTERS
The Selection of Clusters will be based on their geographical concentration which would be around 500 beneficiary families of artisans/micro enterprises, suppliers of raw materials, traders, service providers etc., located within one or two revenue subdivisions in a District (or in contiguous Districts.) The potential for growth in production and generation of employment opportunities will also be considered in selecting clusters under SFURTI. The geographical distribution of the clusters throughout the country, with at least 10 percent located in the North Eastern region will also be kept in view while selecting Clusters.
