Cotton as example

cluster model reducing price to half quality global rebate etc good bye Khadi Processing brought to micro-enterprise level Quality guidance system (Innov.) chain-connectivity- even to corporate package minimized distribution Food Building elements modular Designs (Ews, LIG Rural Structures) Enabling Self – Help Half the cost (Innovations for productivity ) Habitat Thrust Areas:

Green Tech (including Herbal) Niche areas: Rural Focus (models of linking unorganized sector via web and REZ model) Service sector Contd:

Focus on Vidarbha Agri + atleast one level value addition Agrindus approach Cotton cluster Soya value-added products etc. Rural Economic Zone (REZ) VIDARBA (Vidarbha’s Industrial Development Aimed at Re-stabilization of Burdened Agriculture )

Extn:  KVIC as the first client  Wardha to Vidarbha  North East, other difficult zones like Orissa  Extension through ‘scheme’ administration  Tech & Ind. Model: Extn. through Interfaces and NGO partners
