1.2 Aim of Cluster
• Jaipur is well known for its age-old form of
Aari Tari and heavy Zari work (earlier
patronized by Rajputs and Mughals for upper
class women fashion wear). Today the main
market for this art is also higher range sarees,
bridal sarees, bridal wear, and any fashion
items with lot of glitter and statement.
• The real profit is pocketed by the show room
owners and these artisans are surviving meager
income.
• Presently the work is mostly distributed
through agents of the show rooms and
exporters who pocket the large profits where
as the artisans sometimes don’t get even their
hard work day labor due to so called rejections
in the name of quality.
– The vision and action plan to be developed for the
cluster envisaged the functionally designed
common facilities center having facility of Adda
and work tables, raw material procurement
services and new designs. Provisions for storage of
raw material and finished goods along with sales
counters and business transactions will also be
made.
– “This Cluster will establish itself in the
international and high-end domestic market for its
eco-friendliness and ethnicity of the products.”
Such a center will attract business service
providers who can transact business more
efficiently with units operating from a
common functional area. Likewise health and
hygiene conditions would improve once the
living and working areas are separated in a
carefully planned way. Apart from this there
will be space to accommodate probable growth
of the firms over the next decade.
The long-run vision for the Aari Taari of Jaipur
should be as: “The Aarti Taari industry of
Jaipur will establish itself in the
international and high-end domestic market
for its ethnicity and usages in variety of
fashion articles ”. Backward linkages in the
form of availability of working capital,
infrastructure support, technical
development and enterprising organisations
will strengthen the process.
