He said the central government has accorded approval for setting up CFCs at three clusters, proposed to be set up in Bahadurgarh, Panipat and Karnal. Four additional CFCs are expected to be approved before the end of the current month.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening collective action to provide spillover effects of the economies of scale, credit facilitation, technology upgradation, brand building and marketing, he said.
