DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR

WANGKHEI KONSAM LEIKAI CLUSTER OF IMPHAL EAST DISTRICT

UNDER INTEGRATED HANDLOOM DEVELOPMENT SCHEME

1. Introduction:

The Cluster approach for a holistic development of micro, small and medium enterprises is

being attempted all over the world particularly in the developing countries including India

on a wider scale. The Development of identified handloom clusters in the second phase of 

the implementation of Integrated Handloom Cluster Development Programme in the

country. Towards that end, a Diagnostic study has been conducted on by The Department

of Commerce & Industries, Govt. of Manipur covering Wangkhei Konsam Leikai

Handlooms Cluster in Imphal East District under Integrated Handloom Development

Scheme.

The Primary aim of the Diagnostic study is to identify what ails in the cluster. The

detailed objectives of the cluster are detailed below.

  To understand the current socio economic profile of the cluster

  To evaluate the current status of Handloom Cluster in terms of the product variety,

yarn availability, the number of functional or non-functional looms, role of support

organization and prevailing infrastructure facilities.

  To highlight the constrains faced by the cluster and suggest some action plans for

future.

In order to fulfill the above mentioned objectives the primary survey in the cluster has

been conducted as well as diagnostic study by the Department of Commerce &

Industries, Govt. of Manipur, for understanding of the cluster is based on analyzing the

value chain that exists in the cluster. It includes the suppliers of raw material (backward

linkage), the Weavers (Producers), the traders/Exporters (Forward linkage), and supportinstitutions/ organizations. The support institutions are the Government bodies and

social organization which held the various activities of the entire value chain.

Generally, that support organizations include the National Handloom Development

Corporation (NHDC) Ltd., Weavers Service Centre, National Institution of Fashion and

Technology (NIFT), the Weavers Cooperative Societies and master weavers.

A meeting of prominent weavers, Master Weavers, Prominent weaving

community leaders, staff of the Cooperative Societies of cluster has been conducted

and held various discussions regarding availability of raw materials, production

capacity, product diversification, marketing, infrastructure facilities and the problems

being faced by them are noted below.

  Types of product manufactured

  Raw material procurement

  Traditional preparatory work 

  Dyeing and design facilities

  Use of t traditional looms

  Product market structure

  Competitive analysis

  Lack of working capital and availability of Finance.

2. Background of the Cluster:

Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India have sanctioned 05 No. of clusters in Manipur. The first

phase for the year 2005-06 was implemented through IIE, Guwahati and another 04 Nos. of 

clusters in 2nd

phase for the year 2006-07 have also been sanctioned.

Evaluation of the Cluster:

Wangkhei Konsam Leikai is 04 Km. away from Imphal under Irilbung Sub-Division of 

Imphal East Revenue District. The area is a concentrated area of weavers producing famous

the Wangkhei Phee(fine cotton fabric). There is population of more than 10000 having about

2250 weaver households in the cluster of which about 900 weavers households are affiliated

to the Cooperative Society and remaining weavers are outside the cooperative folds. There

are about 950 independent Weavers, 80 shed weavers, 600 wage weavers and 30 master

weavers. Of the total 1850 looms in the cluster 40 % are working and 60% are idle. In the

cluster, female weavers are 98% and engaged in the occupation of the weaving industry inthe major way even though their contribution is either paid or poorly paid for the ancillary

activities if performed by her outside the family weaving.

The members of the weavers Cooperative Societies are accustomed to weave cotton

and acrylic varieties, like, bed sheet, lungies, towels, mosquito nets, etc. Due to deteriorated

financial position of the Society member are not getting regular work from the Society

consequently a large number of weavers have diverted to the master weavers.

The cluster covers the adjoining villages.

Major Players in the Cluster

In this cluster the Master Weavers are playing major role in providing employment to

70% to 80% of the weavers in the cluster. They are supplying raw material in the shape

of warps. The weavers are simply put it on the loom and weaving and return the

finished goods, by taking their wages. There are problems of raw materials, dyeing,

common facilities etc. As such the weavers in the cluster are not doing their job

successfully.

The Officer on Special Duty (Handloom), Deputy Director of Handlooms,

General Manager with his Project Manager (Handloom) and Secretaries of the Societies

are the in-charge of the Cluster for implementation of the Scheme.

ACTION PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT

APPROACH IN WANGKHEI KONSAM LEIKAI

------

I. Trust Building:

The following action, are to be implemented fro trust building among the weavers.

  Exposures visit to successful clusters

  Conducting workshops at regular intervals

  Workshop on networking strategy has to be conducted

  Workshop on quality appraisal of woven fabrics has to be conducted

II. Quality Awareness:

Quality of the products are not up to the export standards because of less attention being paid

by the weavers and master weavers as they do not have technically qualified personal for

quality checking for their final products,. They are to be educated properly to improve the

quality of their products. Therefore, it is proposed to arrange quality awareness campaign on

frequent intervals.

III Raw Material:

A Raw Material centre for supply of different counts of Yarn as required by the Weavers is

proposed for supply of yarn at the cluster head quarters under the scheme.

IV Common Facility Centre:

Infrastructure proposed for establishing a sizing and warping units ion the cluster head quarters

for preparation of pre-looms processing.

V. Dyeing:

There are no facilities for testing of dyeing fastness of the dyed materials. In many of the dye

houses they are not doing the yarn scouring which lead to uneven dyeing. They are using hard

water for dyeing which also causes uneven dyeing. The Dye houses needs to be modernized

with scouring and water softening plants.

VI. Design Development:

The services of the Weavers Service Centre will be taken for the development of new designs

And training of designers is need to create innovative designs as per the market requirement.

VII. Loom and Accessories:

All the weavers are having traditional pit looms. They require Jacquard, dobbies and

accessories top weave new designs and improved their productivity.

VIII Marketing:

The weavers in the cluster are not having any systematic marketing strategy. It needs initiation

of efforts to organize market promotion for cluster products through domestics market.

Therefore, it is propose to initiate actions as under:

8/14/2019 Wangkhei - Project Profile

  Market survey is to be carried out for development of colour designs quality

  Geographical identification brand has to be registered “ Manipuri Handloom”

  Establishment of market consortia

  Buyers and Sellers meets and also specialized retailers meets have to be conducted

at regular intervals

  Training in value addition to the traditional saris has to be conducted

  Use if information technology

IX Finance:

The Wangkhei Konsam Leikai Cluster is suffering due to lack of working capital. It is

therefore the members of the society have started working under Master Weavers and hence

margin money is proposed for their requirement.
