6th National Cluster Summit 2013

The popular Cluster Championship Awards and Kaizen Awards will be a key component of the National Cluster

Summit on 30 September – 1 October, 2013 at New Delhi. Cluster Championship Awards recognise both MSMEs

and Large organizations who excell in course of being part of a Cluster Programme.

It is meant for both the categories of MSME and large organization, in the four streams of Manufacturing

Excellence, Energy Efficiency, Cost Competitiveness and Total Employee Involvement.

Awards for Kaizens recognise innovative improvements brought about in realms of Productivity, Quality, Cost,

Delivery, Safety and Morale in the shop floor.



Indian MSME sector has played a pivotal role as an engine of economic growth, manufacturing output, exports

and job Creation. It comprises 90 Per cent of business Units, contributes 45 per cent of manufacturing output, 40

Per cent of Exports and employs 26 million people. What's more, it has been able to maintain this level even in

face of global economic slowdown.

Access to Finance, Requisite Technology Up-gradation and lack of branding are some of the challenges MSMEs

continue to grapple with. A thriving and sustainable MSME Sector calls for an integrated vision and execution by

Policy Makers, Government Agencies, Association of Big Companies and striving engagement of the MSME

community at large. It is when all stakeholders come together that the MSME sector can be catapulted to the

next level of development. Indeed the progress should be benchmarked against International standards, to let

Indian MSMEs rub shoulders with the best and brightest MSMEs in the World.

thThis is precisely what the 6 National Cluster Summit 2013 at New Delhi on September 30 – October 1, has

set out to achieve through its brainstorming panel discussions, illuminating key speakers, vibrant networking

opportunites, dynamic Cluster Championship and kaizen Awards, Kaizen Gallery and the presence of a captive

audience profile eager to learn from Case studies and thought leadership.

Indo - German Manager Training Programme - Scaling New Heights

CII-AVANTHA Centre for Competitiveness for SMEs has a remarkably successful engagement with Germany, in

association with GIZ in the Indo-German Manager Training Programme. It enables participants from SMEs to gain

hands-on training in Germany. It is meant to give them access to some of the best SMEs in the world and to give them

exposure on how to do business with Germany. The number of JVs formed or exports or manufacturing capacity

created on both sides has encouraged Government to sign an extension and spread the programme across sectors

like Health care, Mining and Energy.

The year 2013 has become a watershed for CII vis a vis the IGMTP, with the scope of the programme growing by leaps

and bounds. Under this programme, in March 2013, already 19 participants have gone to Germany, out of which 5 are

from the sector of Mining. In June 2013 interviews for the selection of candidates for the General batch as well as for

batches of Energy and Health Care took place. Around 40 participants from the General batch and 4 each from Health

Care and Energy are expected to go to Germany in September 2013. In all, as many as 67 participants are expected

to go to Germany, through CII in year 2013, as against 27 in 2012.

The India Leg of training is a vital component of the program where members are pre-seasoned before their travel to

Germany on subjects like HR, TQM, Visa Formalities, Experience sharing by past beneficiaries, etc.
