Kalankari :
It is traditional industry in and around the Pedana near Machilipatnam and most of the
people involved are small artisans and very unorganized . They have very limited or no
access to formal financial institutions and operate on very tiny scale with the involvement
of their family members only. They can be brought into the main stream by implementing
the following action plan.
1. To develop a cluster immediately with the active involvement of all the artisans
who are working individually , which will enhance their capacity to scale up their
production and productivity .
2. Capacity building by introducing them to the new techniques in the similar
industry across the globe and in the country and to adopt new designs in their
works.. Contd P2
