How to Apply for Exposure Tour for Coir Artisans — Puducherry Subsidy, ₹150/Day

Assessment is administrative rather than competitive pitching, and the published document describes it in broad terms.

• Registration: every application that is received is entered into an application receipt register and issued an identification number unique to that application. That number acts as your acknowledgement and should be quoted in all later correspondence.
• Screening: staff verify that the applicant is a bona fide coir artisan from Puducherry and that the documentation is complete and correctly submitted.
• Review and selection: no multi-stage evaluation committee or interview rounds are spelled out in the scheme document, but a selection committee within the Department of Industries and Commerce or the District Industries Centre reviews eligible applications. Participants are picked keeping the programme's capacity and objectives in view, with the aim of selecting artisans who can most benefit from the tour and then apply what they learn in their own coir units.
