Understanding Indian Clusters

Understanding of industrial clusters in Indian context especially by Indian authors can be counted on fingers. A systematic work to my knowledge started by SIDBI and SBI in late 80s. The nineties saw a sudden spurt in cluster related activities and focus on cluster related work mainly by international agencies and authors. In the last five years a lot of consolidation happened in terms of understanding of industrial cluster issues in India.

One the works done is Development of Industrial Cluster ( 2005) by Sudesh Kumar.
The paper gives an interesting insight into some of the work done by UNIDO under Cluster Development programme in India. The complete text of the book may be accessed at http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/171/1/MPRA_paper_171.pdf
