City Business Plan for Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation<br />

Establishment of a common facility on the basis of PPP for providing appropriate training and<br />

design/finished intervention will increase the gross value accruals from this product and generate<br />

additional employment.<br />

Muzaffarpur is hub for trading in cloth for entire North Bihar. There are over 600 cloth traders,<br />

merchants and related transport service providers as well as about 3000 household and micro<br />

sized tailoring units and a dozen garment manufacturing units in the region. It is estimated, that<br />

livelihood for over 10,000 persons in the city is linked to cloth and fabric trade and tailoring<br />

services and garment manufacturing.<br />

Here again, the establishment of a common facility on the basis of PPP will encourage transition<br />

of Muzaffarpur from a mere fabric trading centre to a quality garment producing hub. A single<br />

garment unit with an investment of Rs.5 lakhs on basic equipment could provide direct and<br />

indirect employment to over 10 persons. The envisaged common facility will help train over 500<br />

skilled workers every year to undertake embroidery, design and finished garment services.<br />

Muzaffarpur has the benefit of both government and private Polytechnics as also Industrial<br />

Training Institutes who conduct accredited vocational training courses and over 900 persons are<br />

trained every year by these institutions. Smaller NGOs train over 3000 persons on tailoring<br />

services and basic garment manufacturing.<br />

There is evidently, scope for twinning the EDP (Entrepreneurship Development Programme) and<br />

Skill development programmes of MSME-DI, Muzaffarpur and IED, Patna in the City Business<br />

Plan. Skill development training programmes to generate employment opportunities can also be<br />

undertaken by service providers like:-<br />
