4. About Uttarsanda
Uttarsanda is predominantly a farming
community. Uttarsanda Peoples Cooperative Bank
Limited was established on 9th April 1940 to help
the local businesses and farmers. On 1st March
1967, the Bank of Baroda also opened its branch
office. To help the milk producers, Uttarsanda
Milk Producers Cooperative was started in 1951.
Due to the location along the railway line and
close proximity to Nadiad and Anand, Uttarsanda
has attracted a variety of small industries. There
are several Cold Storage houses, Cement spun
pipe factories, Ice-crème and Papad Factories.
When tobacco was a very attractive cash crop,
there were several tobacco storage warehouses.

5. Introduction
Papad is a popular and tasty food item
in the Indian diet since many centuries.
It is essentially a wafer-like product,
round in shape and made from dough
of powdered pulses, spices, powdered
chilly and salt. Variety of pulses and
proportion of pulses and spices varies
from region to region depending upon
preferences of local people whereas
certain varieties are popular on a larger
scale.

6. What is Business Cluster?
A business cluster is a geographic concentration
of interconnected businesses, suppliers, and
associated institutions in a particular field.
Clusters are considered to increase the
productivity with which companies can compete,
nationally and globally.
Clusters are also very important aspects of
strategic management.
CMS DDU
7. Prof. Michael Porter claims that
clusters have the potential to affect
competition in three ways:
1. By increasing the productivity of the
companies in the cluster,
2. By driving innovation in the field,
and
3. By stimulating new businesses in
the field.

8. Types of Business Clusters
By Development
1. Geographical cluster : Papad Industries in Uttarsanda
2. Sectoral clusters : A cluster of businesses operating
together from within the same commercial sector
3. Horizontal cluster : Interconnections between
businesses at a sharing of resources level e.g.
knowledge management
4. Vertical cluster : i.e. a supply chain cluster
CMS DDU
9. By Knowledge
1. Techno clusters : These clusters are high
technology-oriented, well adapted to the
knowledge economy, and typically have as a core
renowned universities and research centers
Ex: Silicon Valley
2. Historic knowhow-based clusters :
These are based on more traditional activities that
maintain their advantage in know-how over the
years, and for some of them, over the centuries.
Ex: Kites in Nadiad

• Three types of processing techniques used are;
1. Handmade and then Sun-dry
2. Semi-automatic
3. Fully automatic (Dryer is Used)
