Cluster Development
The Cluster approach for the development of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises with a view to enhance their competitiveness has been gaining momentum. In the process of cluster development, one needs to identify viable industrial clusters, conduct diagnostic study and prepare detail project report on the basis of the available data. The development of cluster requires a variety of interventions along with the trust and cooperation of cluster stakeholders as well as cluster actors. As such it is a difficult and delicate task to be handled carefully with the required level of commitment competence and in depth understanding of preparation of DPR, issues and problems of cluster development. Institute's Cluster Development Division conducts Diagnostic Studies, prepare DPRs and organizes sensitization workshops for the officials of District Industries Centres as well as functionaries working in the field of cluster development.

Since the provision of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) vary from one country to another, there is bound to be obstacles in the trading access of the nations. In order to overcome this problem, the Trade related Intellectual Properties (TRIP) of WTO is an importantcomponent which aims at the adoption of WTO compatible IPR across the nations. Accordingly, India has also amended the different components of IPR. However, there is a growing concern regarding awareness of IPR provisions and their implications among the MSME sector. Institute organizes workshops for popularizing the knowledge, applications and advantages of IPR among the MSME entrepreneurs. These workshops are supported by Office of Development Commissioner (MSME), Govt. of India.

The training design includes class-room sessions, working with functional departments of the Institute, exposure visits to other organizations, and take-home assignments. Students were attached with in-house functional departments on rotation basis so that every student gets opportunity to be familiarized with each of the functional areas. Each of these design components has its specific purpose such as acquiring knowledge, opportunity to learn by doing, demonstration of learning and presentation skills.
Nowadays, Internship training has become mandatory in almost all the professional courses run by Engineering, Management, Medical, Para-medical colleges, Universities, technical and vocational institutions. Hence, students have to do the internship of different duration as per the requirement of these professional courses during which they undergo On-Job-Training on specific projects.
