Since basic features of a Cluster, that is - collective, collaborative arrangement characterized by geographical concentration of people engaged in similar economic activity with shared infrastructure - is already in practice (though in a very limited extent), for Amla production and processing in Pratapgarh, therefore, Cluster Approach for its intensive development was decided.
