Three of these clusters belong to the PGBC groupnamely the Food Processing Cluster, Muzzaffarpur, and the two Rice Milling Clusters inKarnal and Kalady. There are another three clusters in the SGBC group that generatemore than one type of pollutant. These are the Bell Metal Cluster, Khurda, the PlasticCluster in Aluva, and the White ware Cluster in Khurza. While the Bell Metal and PlasticClusters generate non degradable toxic solid wastes apart from polluting the air, theWhite ware Cluster in Khurza pollutes both air and water. With increasing concern andregulation regarding environmental problems, most of these clusters would increasinglybecome the focus of control and would be required to effectively respond to regulation ifthey are to grow and develop.A high level of awareness regarding environmental regulation and standards would berequired through soft interventions. It may also be necessary to earmark a portion ofthe funds released for hard interventions to be used for collective management of52
Chapter No:2 – The General Profile of Sampled Clustersenvironmental problems especially on the safe collective disposal or treatment ofeffluents as well as the proper disposal of solid toxic wastes. At present it is noticed thatboth soft as well as hard interventions do not address environmental issues adequatelyand though there are some large individual units, which have the resources to undertakeanti pollution measures the larger majority of individual units lack the means ofaddressing this problem effectively.2.12 Progress and Present Status of the CDPIt would be most appropriate to conclude this chapter on the Profile of Sampled Clustersby assessing the progress and present status of the Cluster Development Programme inthe sampled clusters covered by this study.Each cluster identified for interventions under the CDP passes through five distinctstages. The programme only stands competed when all these five important stages aresuccessfully competed. It is only then that a complete assessment of the impact can beundertaken.The first Stage or Stage I stands completed when the CDE undertakes a diagnostic studyand based on this the cluster is identified and soft interventions initiated. The secondStage or Stage II is completed with the successful formation of the SPV and the formalregistration of the SPV.The third distinct Stage or Stage III stands completed after the DPR for the CFC isformulated along with detailed estimates of the cost, and then approved by theconcerned sponsors. The fourth Stage or Stage IV, involves the setting up of the CFC,the CFC at any point of time may itself be in various stages of its construction andtesting. The final fifth Stage or Stage V is reached when the CFC is fully commissionedand becomes functional and starts being used by individual cluster units. Each of thesestages are likely to take varying lengths of time for completion. It may be mentionedthat since no specific timeline is prescribed for each stage, there is a tendency for theentire process to drag on.Each of these stages involves different activities and are marked by specific problemsand constraints. For instance Stage I can be considerably prolonged if the CDE is notappointed and adequately trained and equipped to carry out the diagnostic study andeffectively initiate soft interventions. Stage I may also be prolonged due to the delayedrelease of funds, as well as the delayed approval and consent of the State Government,which is essential for the initiation of the programme in any state.The second stage also faces several intractable constraints specially when the clusteridentified is heterogeneous. In such situations it is always more difficult and timeconsuming to get individual units to come together and form an SPV and register it in themost suitable institutional form. The successful completion of Stage II is also conditionalto how carefully the cluster has been identified on the basis of a diagnostic study andalso how effectively the soft interventions are carried out. It may also be mentioned thatin a compact, dense, homogenous, cluster, already represented by an active associationor union, it is much easier and faster to form an SPV and complete its registration53
