Government supports cluster-based approaches (SFURTI, MSE-CDP) to upgrade product quality, promote common facility centers, and encourage brand building. In exam contexts, highlight how cluster models reduce costs, improve marketing channels, and empower rural entrepreneurs. Ensuring synergy with digital platforms for e-commerce can further expand reach, raising rural incomes and diversifying the local economy.
