 DIAGNOSTIC STUDY FOR
WABAGAI MAIBAM LEIKAI CLUSTER OF THOUBAL DISTRICT
UNDER INTEGRATED HANDLOOM DEVELOPMENT SCHEME

1. Introduction:

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 third 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 Wabagai Maibam Leikai Handlooms
Cluster in Thoubal 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 support
institutions/ 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:

Wabagai Maibam Leikai is 46 Km. away from Imphal in the southern part of Imphal
inhabited under Kakching Sub-Division of Thoubal Revenue District. The area is
adjacent to a Cultural Complex. There is population of more than 9000 having about
2150 weaver households in the cluster of which about 1100 weavers households are
affiliated to the Cooperative Society and remaining weavers are outside the cooperative
folds. There are about 1120 independent Weavers, 80 shed weavers, 600 wage weavers
and 10 master weavers. Of the total 1760 looms in the cluster 60 % are working and
40% are idle. In the cluster, female weavers are 97% and engaged in the occupation of
the weaving industry in the 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 09 adjoining villages. The cluster will cover up the following
villages and lanes of Wabagai Maibam Leikai villages and adjoining areas

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
------

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,. The y 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
  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 Wabagai Maibam 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.
