White ware <strong>Cluster</strong>Khurza√√Turning to the availability <strong>of</strong> skilled manpower it is seen that the shortages are morepronounced. The shortage <strong>of</strong> skilled manpower is reported by 4 <strong>of</strong> the 9 sampledclusters in the first group <strong>of</strong> PGBCs. Three <strong>of</strong> the four clusters are located in Kerala whileone is located in Karnal, Haryana. Two <strong>of</strong> these clusters are involved in the production <strong>of</strong>Rubber goods and plywood, while the other two are engaged in Rice Milling. It is seenthat these clusters are fairly capital intensive and utilize advanced processes andtechnology that require maintaining and operating by skilled labour.There are four other clusters in the SGBCs, which report severe shortages <strong>of</strong> skilledlabour. These are Ball Bearing <strong>Cluster</strong> in Jaipur, the Bell Metal <strong>Cluster</strong> in Khurda, theFoundry <strong>Cluster</strong> in Ahmedabad and the Plastic <strong>Cluster</strong> in Aluva. Here it may bementioned that clusters located in and around already well established industrial areasmay find it possible to attract skilled labour however a lot depends on the level <strong>of</strong> wagesprevailing in these places and smaller units in the cluster may not be able to afford thesewages. The only viable solution to this pressing problem is to create common facilitiesfor upgrading the skills <strong>of</strong> the abundantly available unskilled labour. This has to be acollective effort as individual units may not be capable <strong>of</strong> taking up this task. This issuemust be adequately addressed, as increasing capital intensity invoked by the use <strong>of</strong>41
