The Technical Efficiency of Khadi and Village Industries Clusters in India (Dr. E. Bhaskaran.B.E, M.B.A., Ph.D., M.I.E., (D.Sc)., Deputy Director of Industries and Commerce, Government of Tamil Nadu) 1. Introduction The Khadi and Village Industries (KVI) sector occupies a significant role in the total manufacturing sector of India.
For the development of KVI sector, the Government is implementing various programmes / schemes through Khadi
and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) for assisting eligible applicants in setting up village industries, Rebate
scheme for Khadi Institutions, Interest Subsidy Eligibility Certificate (ISEC) scheme for providing bank loans, Rural
Industries Service Centre (RISC) for providing common facility centres (CFCs) to provide infrastructure and service
support, Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of traditional Industries (SFURTI) for development of clusters in Khadi,
Village industries and Coir Sectors, Products development, Design Intervention and Packaging (PRODIP),
marketing export promotion, exhibition at district, state, zonal and national level, design facility, brand building etc.
As a result of these efforts, KVI sector has registered a growth of around 9.6 % in 2010-11 over the performance of
previous year. The total KVI production during 2011-12(up to 15 February 2012) is estimated at Rs. 23,551.64
crore (Khadi Rs. 637.95 crore and V.I. Rs. 22,913.69 crore) as against Rs. 19871.86 crore (Khadi Rs. 673.01 crore
and V.I. Rs. 19198.85 crore) in 2010-11. Similarly, estimated sales of KVI products up to 15 February 2012 is Rs.
25155.30 crore (Khadi Rs. 821.10 crore and V.I. Rs.24334.20 crore) in 2011-12 as against Rs. 25792.99 crore
(Khadi Rs. 917.26 crore and V.I. Rs. 24875.73 crore) of the previous year. The total cumulative employment in the
KVI sector is estimated to have also increased to 130.12 lakh persons (10.35 lakh in Khadi and 119.77 lakh in V.I.)
by 15 February, 2012 as against 113.80 lakh persons (10.15 lakh in Khadi and 103.65 lakh in V.I.) of corresponding
period of previous year.
2. Literature Survey India has a rich tradition in traditional industries. The eco-friendly products of traditional industries not only have
great potential for growth in production and export but can also lead to widespread generation of employment
opportunities in the rural areas of the country. With a view to making the traditional industries more productive and
competitive and facilitating their sustainable development, the Central Government announced the setting up of a
fund for regeneration of traditional industries, with an initial allocation of Rs. 100 crore. Pursuant to this
announcement, a Central Sector Scheme titled the “Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries
(SFURTI)” has been drawn up and approved at a total cost of Rs. 97.25 crore. The Scheme will be implemented by
the Union Ministry of Agro and Rural Industries (ARI) and its organisations and institutions, in collaboration with
State Governments, their organisations concerned, non-Governmental organisations, etc.

SFURTI is Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries.
Ministry of MSME has launched this scheme in the year 2005 with the view to promote Cluster
development. KVIC is the nodal Agency for promotion of Cluster development for Khadi as well as for V.I.
products.
As on date, a no. of 76 Clusters have come up as per the scheme and many of these clusters have
completed.
Outcome of the programme was very much encouraging which speaks of the enhancement of wages of
Artisans and the increase in production and sales of the I.A. (Implementing Agency).
Evaluation studies conducted for SFURTI Clusters has rated the programme, as quite successful.
Ministry of MSME proposed enhanced budget allocation during 12th five Year Plan for the promotion of the
scheme in a bigger way, with certain modification.
Due to global recession there is need for the study on the Technical Efficiency of KVIs Clusters in India.
3. Objectives of the Study The objectives are 1. To study the list of Khadi and Village Industries Clusters exists in India.
2. To Study the Correlation Analysis, Technical Efficiency (θ) and Peer Weights (λi) of Khadi Clusters in India.
3. To Study the Input Slacks (S-) and Output Slacks (S+) of Khadi Clusters in India.
4. To Study the Variable Returns to Scale of Khadi Clusters in India.
4. Methodology The methodology adopted is collection of data from, KVIC, Government of India and analyzing with Data
Envelopment Analysis of Input Oriented Banker Charnes Cooper (BCC) Model by taking No. of Artisans Benefited
and Production as inputs and Annual Sales, Enhanced Wages for Spinner and Weaver as outputs. A DMU is
efficient if θ = 1, S- = 0 and S+ = 0.

and Weaver is taken as outputs corresponding to 28 DMUs (Clusters).

5.4.2 Data Envelopment Analysis- Banker, Charnes and Cooper Model (BCC Model) Input Oriented BCC Model (BCC-I)
Min Z0 = θ –ε 1 S+ - ε 1 S-
θ, λ, S+ , S-
Subject to Y λ - S+ = Y0 θX0 - X λ -S- = 0
1 λ ≥ 1
λ, S+ ,S- ≥0
5.4.3 Model Description The Scalar variable θ appears in the primal problem, is the reduction applied to all inputs of DMUs to improve
efficiency. This reduction is applied simultaneously to all inputs and results in a radial movement toward the
envelopment surface. The presence of non-Archimedean (Infinitesimal constant) ε in the primal objective function
effectively allows the minimization overθ to preempt the optimization involving the slacks. Thus, the optimization
can be computed in a two-stage process with
i) maximal reduction of inputs being achieved first via θ
ii) then in the second stage movement on to the efficient frontier is achieved via the positive input and
output slack variables (S-,S+ )
Here, the constraint
1 λ ≥ 1 is known as convexity constraints, which will admit variable return to scale (VRS).
The above discussion leads to form the following statement.
A DMU is efficient if and only if
a) θ = 1,
b) All slacks are zero. S- = 0 and S+ = 0.
5.4.4 Computing Methodology Initially we consider Dimapur Khadi Cluster, as the studied DMU and the LP Model is formulated as given below Min θ0

increase in annual Sales. The S > 0 obtained for other 16 clusters reveals the excess Production in Rs.lakhs (S-) in
the Clusters or shortage in annual sales (S+).
5.4.7 Variable Return to Scale of Khadi Clusters For a long time DEA models were based on Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and it has been criticized as a
limiting factor for the application of DEA. Many economists viewed CRS assumption as over restrictive and
preferred alternative methodologies. Banker et al (1984) for the first time introduced the VRS in DEA models
through convexity constraints and thereafter remarkable change has led to make changes in CCR DEA models.
Variable Return to Scale of Clusters is given in table 6.

6. Findings and Conclusions The Funds given under the Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of traditional Industries (SFURTI) for development of
clusters in Khadi and Village industries is successful one and many Common Facility Centres (CFCs) were created
with the help of highly reputed technical agency. Interventions are carried out in Design product Development of
Khadi and Village Industries. Market Promotional Assistance was taken place. Capacity Building Measures like
exposure visit to other successful cluster and need based training within the clusters (skill development, Self Help
Credit & others) were also conducted. Many Self Help Group were formed, registered and tied up with Bank to get

There is also achievement in the Clusters for example The DimapurKhadi Cluster, MukulmuaKhadi
Cluster, Malda Khadi Cluster, Sircilla Khadi Cluster and Amritsar Woolen Khadi Cluster has got ISO:9001-2008.
The Thiruvananthapuram Khadi Cluster has exported some of the products. There is enhanced wages for Spinner,
Weaver and Artisans after Cluster Development Approach. The Social Security Coverage of Artisans is increased
by way of artisan Insurance scheme, Health Insurance Card, educational assistance, and many of them are
covered under jan Shree Bima Yojana (JSBY) & they are issued passbook. The achievement is also by Improved
Packaging and Branding of products.
To conclude, for inclusive growth and sustainable development, the inefficient Khadi clusters should increase their
Production or Sales. Moreover the Khadi Clusters should strengthen infrastructure interrelationships, technology
interrelationships, procurement interrelationships, production interrelationships and marketing interrelationships and
should make use of the benefits announced by Government of India under SFRUTI. The soft and hard intervention
on Cluster Development Programme of Government of India will help Khadi and Village Industries Clusters in India
to increase their productivity and efficiency.
