District Export Promotion Committees –Functions
3.04 — District Export Promotion Committees –Functions
The primary function of the DEPC will be to prepare and implement District specific Export Action Plans in collaboration with all the relevant stakeholders from the Center, State and the District level.
The preliminary exercise may include an assessment of a district to identify the current export profile, its further potential in the district, quantifiable targets to increase export performance from the District. This involves identifying and promoting products, which are currently being exported from there, and also identifying and promoting new products in the district with untapped export potential. These efforts are to be taken forward through an institutional mechanism to undertake a baseline study across goods and services, to map current export activities and the future potential along with the infrastructure and other constraints and bottlenecks that would need to be addressed to achieve this potential.
