Located in Tapang, Silchar, Assam, the Tapang Shitalpati Cluster is a dedicated handicraft project established under the SFURTI scheme of the Ministry of MSME, Government of India. Our mission is to enhance the market competitiveness of traditional Shitalpati (Cool Mats) and other handicraft products by providing artisans with state-of-the-art processing facilities and modern production methods.
The Tapang Shitalpati Cluster is revolutionizing traditional craftsmanship by transitioning from manual techniques to advanced, machine-aided production. By integrating modern technology within our Common Facility Centre, we have significantly reduced labor intensity and increased output. This strategic shift allows artisans to meet contemporary market demands with faster and more consistent results.
Our primary mission is fostering self-reliant communities by generating sustainable employment for local families in the Silchar region. Through the Atmanirbhar vision, we provide artisans with the tools and training necessary to transition into independent entrepreneurs. We ensure every family has the opportunity to thrive while securing a stable financial future.
We are committed to elevating Shitalpati crafts to meet rigorous international commercial standards, ensuring our products are ready for the global stage. By implementing high-precision finishing and strict quality control measures, we have bridged the gap between rural handicraft and retail excellence. This focus opens new doors for high-value partnerships worldwide.
