OCTOBER 2016 II THE DOLLAR BUSINESS 29
Call it continuation of a tradition dedicated to India's foreign trade, this year
too, The Dollar Business trekked far and wide to explore some of the lesser
known export clusters of India. And like every other year in the past, this year
too saw us digging out some unheard facts from across these hotspots of
India's exports. As enthusiasts of foreign trade, it is but necessary for us to
understand the opportunities and challenges that these export clusters face.
It is the government's goal to make these clusters the strong pole that will
help the nation vault over the ambitious $900 billion bar in exports by FY2020.
Is the government 'walking the talk' when it comes to improving the global
competitiveness of these clusters? Are the central and state agencies fulfilling
their mandates of creating common facilities to help small entrepreneurs
explore global markets? Are initiatives like 'Make in India' and 'Skill India'
making a difference on the ground? These export clusters, which contribute
significantly to India's export basket, lack the visibility and the attention they
deserve. For the third year in a row, The Dollar Business explores the length
and breadth of the country to bring to its readers some ground realities from a
handful of India's less-celebrated clusters of export excellence.
