Abstract
The Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) is a premier national institution that has taken up the development of rural clusters through its role as a National
Resource Organization (NRO) under the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) EDII has worked on cluster development in several sectors. The Dahod Pottery Cluster
aims to improve artisans' livelihoods through infrastructure, technology, market linkages, capacity building, and skill development interventions. The Dahod Pottery Producer
Company Limited (DPPCL), with over 150+ registered artisans, has been formed to create an institutional mechanism for scaling up production, providing market access, and
improving financial returns for the artisans. The Dahod Pottery Cluster is at a critical juncture, and we recognise that without strategic interventions in technology, market linkages, and skill development, the livelihoods of hundreds of artisans are at risk. To secure the future of this traditional craft, we recommend undertaking a comprehensive approach. Through DPPCL, we create a supportive ecosystem that fosters innovation, skill development, and market access. This collective effort will not only safeguard the future of the Dahod Pottery Cluster but also position black pottery as a sustainable and profitable
industry for generations to come, ultimately enhancing the region's economic landscape.
