FOREWORD

    Small Scale Industries play a vital role in the national economy not only in India, but also in many developing/developed nations. If the panorama of these countries analysed, it is very clear that the development achieved through Small Scale Industries only. Economy of our country depends on Agriculture but the industrial development is also inevitable for the over all development of the nation. Industrial development activities have not reached to the rural areas. But in recent years the situation has changed and the people are interested in launching their own venture instead of waiting for employment. It is an urgent need to speed up the industrial activity by using the available resources in the country.

    In the changed world scenario, on seeing the demands of the society, the Government liberalized the economic system, which leads to fast industrialisation not only in urban areas but also in rural areas. Different statistical data are to be presented in analytical form to understand the industrial potentiality, which will lead to fast industrial growth. The entrepreneurship quality can be improved through Training. The local people can be motivated towards industrialisation through industrial seminars, symposium, exhibition and workshops.

    The Industrial Potentiality Survey has its own importance in providing information to new entrepreneurs to find out the possibilities of industrialisation, which helps the Government and non-Government organisations to make their plant for fast industrial development.

    I appreciate Mr. V.K. Mathur, Asstt Director (PI), Mr. Shyam Lal, Small Industries Promotion Officer (EI) and Mr. L.Kuttiraja, Small Industries Promotion Officer (EI) for collection, compilation and processing the data/information collected from the width and length of the district and bringing out this survey report.

    I am sure, this report will prove a useful document for all concerns. On behalf of the Institute I express my thanks to the officers/officials posted in Government and Non-government offices situated in Raisen district for their cooperation towards conducting the survey.

CHAPTER THREE

RESOURCES

    A. Human Resources:

    Human resources are one of the inevitable factors for the economic development. Several nationals could not achieve desirable economic growth due to under population. In Asian countries, quantity of population is not a hindrance for economic development, but for quality of population. Working population such as technocrats, professionals, manual workers, scientists are the major components of the population.

    1. Population:

      In the present case, according to 1991 census, Raisen district has a total population of 876461, out of which 466389 are male and remaining 410072 female. A brrief details of population in the district.

Table : III – I Population Profile

Sl.No Particulars Population
01. Total Population: 876461
Male: 466389
Female: 410072
02. Urban Population: 137816
03. Rural Population: 738645
04. Working Population: 327593
05. Male Female Ratio: 1000:879
06. Density of Population : 104/Sq.KM

 

      Compare to the country and State the density of population is less in the district. Goherganj Tehsil has the density of only 73 persons / Sq KM. Major part of the working force is engaged in agricultural activities. In the absence of division of labour and time bound work schedule, disguised unemployment is more in agriculture sector.
    II.Literacy:

      Literacy is one of the main factors for the overall development of the area. Only literacy can provide valuable and knowledgeable working force that is one of the four inevitable instruments for the development. Literacy rate in the district is 40.76% that is slightly lesser than the state’s literacy rate. Female literacy is as low as 25.47%, which is only 20.45% in rural areas. Male literacy rate is comparatively better that is 54.02%. In rural areas, Male literacy rate is 49.8%. Highest percentage of literacy recorded in Goherganj Tehsil (44.78%) followed by Udaipura Tehsil (41.85%). The lowest rate of literacy is recorded in Silvani Tehsil (36.30%).

      Government and non-government organisations are taking concrete efforts to improve the literacy level in the district. As per the available information (1997-98) seven Professional Institutions, Eight colleges, seventy Higher Secondary Schools, Three Hundred and Thirty six Middle Schools and thousand one hundred and six primary schools are functioning in the district.

      During the year, 123512 students were enrolled in Primary Schools out of which 48332 were girls. There were 81 students enrolled in professional institutions. Even though technical and strategic important institutions are not established in the district.

    III. Occupational pattern of Population:
      Economic, Industrial and Social developments of any area, mainly depend on the work force and its division of the area. Working population of the district account about 37.37% of the total population, out of which main working population accounts for only 33.6%, which is lesser than the National and State average of working population. According to the available occupational pattern, the working population can be divided into the following categories.

      Agriculturals: People those who are having agricultural land and doing crop-growing activities in their land come under this category. This definition does not consider about the quality or quantity of the land holdings.

      Agricultural labourers: Those who do not have own land for crop-growing activities, but doing only agricultural and allied works in other’s land.

      Family/Traditional Industries: These type of small/tiny industries are working in rural areas and carried out by a group of families in village areas, which also plays an important role in the rural economy., i.e., Pottery, Agro-implements, Carpentry works etc.

      Marginal Labourers:Marginal labourers are unskilled and non-technical. These types of workers are deployed only to assist the working system.

      Others: All other work force, those who are earning their livelihood on carrying out one or more activities will be covered in this category.

Pie Diagram shows the occupational division in the district:

      About 70% of the working population of 26% of the total population totally engaged in agricultural activities. More pressure on land and agricultural creates more disguised and seasonal unemployment. As a result of unemployment and under employment, per capita income of the people are low and the standard of living remains unchanged for several decades. The occupational pattern should be changed and the people should come forward to involve in other income earning activities. Family industries and other traditional industries are vanishing in rural areas, that is also one the reasons for increasing unemployment.

Table No III – 3 Working Population Tehsil wise.


      The above-cited table clearly indicates that the agricultural activities are the only means of livelihood in the rural areas. In Raisen Tehsil, being the district head quarter, other workers are considerably more compare to other Tehsils. Industrial activities in the district ise limited and industrial activities are concentrated in Mandideep Industrial Growth Centre of Goharganj Tehsil.
    B.Material Resources:

    The Nature has provided unlimited wealth in the form of land hills, forest, water etc., These resources are not concentrated in any one place but spread over different areas. These resources play a vital role in the overall development of the area subject to the optimum utilisation of the available resources.

      I. Agriculture:

      Agricultural is the main occupation of the district. About 70% of the working population are engaged in crop growing activities. Agricultural activities are carried out in two seasons namely rainy season (Kharif) and winter seasons(Rab).

      It has been observed that the tools and implements used by the farmers of the district are comparatively few in numbers, smaller in size, crude and antiquated in character. The ploughing is done iron-shod wooden plough with the help of pair of Bullocks/Buffaloes and Tractors, This type of indigenous plough does not penetrate deeply into the soil and widely enough. Use of chemical fertilisers is widely reported in the district.

      II. Land Utilisation:

      The district is having different types of lands and soils, Red sols, light blocks soils, red-core sand and small stone in the hillocks are the main combination of soil type observed in the district. Red soil is hard in nature due to the presence of iron ore concentration and least capable of keeping the wetness for long time.

      About 75000-hectare land is available in the district for the use of activities other than agriculture. All the Tehsils are having these types of lands, which can be utilised for industrial development in future.

      III. Cropping Pattern:

      Low and arenas are used for Wheat cultivation and high land areas used for the cultivation of pulses and other crops like maize, millets etc., Double crops are cultivated, wherever continues irrigation facilities are available. Short term and long term varieties of Wheat are cultivated in the district. Average productivity in the district is about 1.5 tonnes per hectare. Paddy production is very limited in the district.

      The above table clearly depicts that the marginal farmers’ accounts for 17.69% in numbers and only 2.05 % in respect of land holdings. Very small holdings are uneconomical and major source of disguised unemployment. The whole family marginal farmers in the district worked out as .471 hectare. This appears very mall to carry out the activities in proper manner.

      Contrarily, Large farmers’ accounts for 7.82 % in numbers and utilising about 34.92 % of land holdings. Increasing population and vanishing of joint family divided into many parts on each generation. After some times the land holdings (very small in size) may not useful for cultivation. Laws should restrict multiple divisions.

    1. Agricultural Marketing:
    2. Agricultural products are marketed through Madhya Pradesh State Agricultural Products Marketing Committee (MPAPMC). The Committee has establised 6 Agro product markets ( Krishi Upaj Mandi) in the district. All development blocks except silvani have been mandi facility, Raisen market is categorised as "B" and working the whole year. Others are categorised as "C" and working during the seasons. Agro products are sold in the minimum of Government Support Price and determined by the prevailing market conditions.

    3. Irrigation:
    4. Irrigation plays a Major role in the development of the agriculture. Most of the cultivable area of the district depends on the seasonal rain. The rivers flowing in the district are not perennial in nature. Therefore, Other means of irrigation such as well, ponds, tanks canals etc., are playing a vital role in the district.

      Maize, Millet Pulses, Soya bean are important crops during the khariff season. Wheat, Bengal gram, peas, tivda are the important crops during the Rabi season. During the year1997-98 about 146493-hectare agricultural land were irrigated by different sources available in the district. Different source of irrigation facilities available in Raisen District is given below.

      About 45 % of land irrigated by well water, which is the main source of Irrigation in the district. About 34 % of the land were irrigated by canal waer. Ponds and tanks irrigation limited to only 0.9 % and other sources plays a major role of 19.67 %. From the above table it is clear that Bareli, Raisen and Goherganj Tehsils are having better irrigation facilitiescompare to other Tehsils.
    1. Horticulture:
    2. Green vegetables and fruits are widely produced in the district, Guava, Mango, Orange and lemon are the important among fruits, Tomato (County and high breed varieties), Onion, Potato, Brinjal, Cauliflower leaves and some local varienties of vegetables are produced in the district.

      To know the present status of production of horticultural items in the district we may see the production for the last few years.

      Area under horticultural products is increasing every year. On seeing the present status of Productions and rapid increase in area and production many food processing industries can come up under SSI in the district, Such Possible industries are recommended in the following chapters of this report.

    1. Sericulture:
    2. Sericulture is the concept to provide employment in the rural areas and earning for their livelihood. Madhya Pradesh is also one of the leading states on sericulture production. But Raisen district is lacking behind on sericulture production. Sericulture production in the district is negligible and there is no industrial use.

    3. Forest:
    4. All development blocks of the district are having a considerable area under forest. Total forest area in the district is about 333236.856 hectare out of which about 31.7% forest land is in Goherganj tehsil and followed by Silvani tehsil which accounts for 19.07 %. The district is having enough forest wealth, wherein the production of building woods, firewood and valuable medicinal plants are reported production. Sects of population depend on the forest for their livelihood. More industries can come up on forest based products, which will help to improve the employment generation in the rural areas.

    5. Fisheries:
    6. Fishery is one of the major activities carried out in the district to provide employment opportunities to rural people. The panorama depicts that the fishery is having a vast scope in the district. As the total production goes to the adjacent district Bhopal for direct consumption, there is no scope for industrial use at present.

      The district is having 19 water reservoirs covering 10908.08- hectare area and 312 rural ponds covering an area of 612.74- hectare area. In addition to this about 501-Km length of rivers and sub rivers are under the active fishery in the district.

    1. Livestock Resources:
    2. In the developing economy five stock resources also play a vital role. Some country’s economy today depends on live stock. Live stock population and dairy development depends upon the climatic condition grazing land etc. In Raisen district, the surroundings, climatic conditions and vast forestland favour the dairy development. It is observed that all the villages is having own herd of animals of different varieties. The cattle are country variety gives less milk compared to high breed variety. Dairy forming is having a good scope in the district. If the country varieties replaced by the high breed varieties of cattle, dairy development is possible in the district. Dairy development will generate employment opportunities in rural areas and the standard of living of the people can be improved.

      The district is having vast natural resources like enough forestland and grazing land. Milk production in India is registered continues growth for the last few decades. At present one of two dairy forms are producing milk in Raisen district. However, the supply of milk is not enough to meet the demand in the district. Dairy forms can be set up in Silvani and Badi tehsils of the district.
      XII.Poultry:

      During the year 1997-98, 96980 hen and cocks were registered in the district. In villages country variety hens are available, which lays less eggs compare to high breed lichen and other varieties. Compared to National


CHAPTER FOUR

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

    Infrastructure development is the basic need of the industrial development of any Region/Country. Infrastructure in broad sense covers transportation, communication, financial services, government agencies and non government bodies associated with development works basic necessity of the public such as water, shelter, medical facilities, educational institutions etc., All these things are essential for industrial development apart from the raw material, labour force, enterpreneurship and modernisation & technological upgradation.

    The infrastructure development can be divided into two major heads.

    1. Physical Infrastructure
    2. Social Infrastructure
    A) Physical Infrastructure:
      I. Land Availability for industrial Development:

      Land is one of the basic factors for the industrial development. The present Raisen district covers seven development blocks/seven Tehsils. District administrative offices are located in district head quarter Raisen. The Geographical area of the district is 8466 Sq Km, out of the which 28812 non cultivable land and 4638 hectare fallow land can be utilised for industrial development of the district. These lands are widely spread over in all the development blocks. To keep up the balanced development on sector and region government has developed three industrial Estate at Begumgani and one industrial Growth centre at Mandideep in Goherganj Tehsil. By and large availability of land is not a problem for the industrial development in the district.

    1. Factory Accommodation:
    2. District Raisen is Industrial backward and most of the industrial units established are concentrated in Mandideep Industrial Growth Centre in Oeyadullah ganj block, There fore other development blocks such as Gairatganj Begumganj. Udaipura and silvani remain "No Industry Blocks" in the district. Now it is an immediate necessary to decentralise the industrial development. Detail of availability of industrial areas its current status is given below:

Vacant sites are illegally occupied

The whole area is occupied illegally

      The above table clearly depicts that the people illegally occupy the industrial areas in Sala matpura and Gairatgani. This is a hindirance for the industrial development of the area. Government should take necessary action to vacate illegal occupation and should be allotted to interested entrepreneurs to set up industrial units.

      In Mandideep Indl. Growth centre is developed by the AKVN. About 350 units of different types established in the centre. It is clearly proved that the small scale units has become vulnerable in the changes taken place in the national economy and many of the units closed down their activities or become sick in this centre.

      AKVN is developing one more industrial centre is Satlaspur near Mandidep. The centre covers about 600 Acre land. It is proposed to accommodated only Large and Medium scale units in this centre. The sheds are yet to be allotted.

    III. Water Availability for Industrial Purpose:

      Water is one of the inevitable factors for the development of the industries. Rsiden district is not having stable water source. The rivers flowing in the district are not perennial in nature. However other source such as ground water and reserves are serving purpose. At present there is no water scarcity in the district.
    1. Power:
    2. Madhya Pradesh electricity Board widely spread over their service in the district. Generally, power in Madhya Pradesh is not well. The same condition prevails in the district also. The following table shows the electricity consumption pattern in the district.

      About one lakh electricity consumers are reported from the district. After Agricultural Industrial sector is the major consumer of electricity which is due to Mandideep industrial area.
    1. Railways:
    2. District head quarter Raisen is not connected by rail lines. But Delhi Mumbai (Via nkhandwa), Delhi-Chennai main Board gauge railway line passes through the district. Salamatpur, Dewanganj, Sanchi, Mandideep, obeyadullahganj and Barkheda are some station of situated in the district. About 60 km of this Broad Gauge line serve the purpose of active rail transportation in the district.

    1. Road:
    2. Road is the main source of transportation in the district. The district is having 1124 km of all weather road that is as low 13.24 km road for every 100 Sq Km area, which is far less than the national average of 37 Km and state’s average of 29 Km. (State and National average data pertains to the year 1994-95).

      About 1481 Km of seasonal roads also serves the purpose of transportation in the district. State High way no. 18 Connects the district Head quarter with Bhopal and Sagar. National high way no. 12 passes through the important town of the district such as Mandideep. Obeyadullahganj, Badi, Bareli and Udaipura.

    1. Road Transport:
    2. Road transportation is the main source of transport in the district. About 80% of the travelers use the road transport and remaining 20% uses the other mode of transport. Road transport is having an equal importance in goods transportation also. Buses, Taxi, Car, Scooter and other two and three wheelers serve the purpose of people movement. Mini buses and jeeps are plying in rural areas. Trucks are the main source of goods transport in the district. About 25,000 vehicles are registered in the district.

    1. Air Transport:
    2. Bhopal is the nearest Airport, which is only 45km from the district hed quarter Raisen.

    3. Water Transport:
    4. The district is a land locked and the rivers are not perennial and not having enough depth for water transtport, there is no water transport system in the district.

    A. SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE:

    1. Enterprneurship:
    2. Enterpreneurship is the quality to identity the need and necessity of the public to present their commodities according to the requirement of the mass. Entrepreneurship can be improved on experience. The district is having educational institutions to impart academic education to the people. Stra institutions like Management Institutions are not available in the district. According to the reliable source, flow of money is more in the district. Generally, the people are interested in business activities rather than manufacturing activities. It is necessary to educate the young generation on entreprenership.

    1. Market Potenial:
    2. Agricultural products are marketed through Madhys Pradesh Agricultural Products Marketing Committee. The committee management is having markets (Krishi Upaj Mandi ) at Raisen that is a "B" grade market and working around the year. "C" grade mandis are located in Gairatganj, Begumganj, Mandideep, Bareli and Udaipura.

      Being a district head quarter Raisen is having a semi developed market Other places like Mandideep and obeydullahganj are very near to Bhopal the market facility has not been developed. About 70% of the population is residing in rural areas. There is no developed market facility in the rural areas. About 40 weekly Hat Marketes (Bazaar) serves the purpose of market in rural areas. The traders are moving from area to area, displaying and selling their items in the Hat markets. There is a need for improving the organised marketing facilities in the district.

    1. Lending Institutions:
    2. Financial Institution is one of the major factors for the industrial development of any area. Availability of Industrial finance according to the policy of the Government is also plays a vital role in the development. Government of India nominated a particular band as Lead Bank in every district to monitor the flow of finance to different sectors. Accordingly, Central Bank of India serves as Lead Bank of Raisen district.

      There are five nationalised Banks, Regional Rural Bank, District Central Co-operative Bank and Land Development Bank branches are working in the district. 91 branches of these banks extend the financial services in the disrict. All development Blocks are having one of more bank branches.

      During the year 1999-2000 4.675 crores of rupees targeted for rural, Cottage and SSI sector that works out about 10.70% of the total Priority sector target. Out of this only 26% achievement recorded. Financial flow to SSI sector is unsatisfactory. The people and Bankers are more interested in business activities instead of manufacturing activities. Proper guidance and motivation is required to accelerate the industrial development in the district.

      Credit plan target for the year 2000-01 is fixed as Rs. 4870.70 lakh for the priority sector. Out of which Rs. 463.55 lakhs (9.517%) is earmarked for SSI sector, which seems to be very less. Bankers should invest more on industrial manufacturing activities.

    Prime Minister Rojgar Yojna (Empolyment Scheme)

    Government of India has brought out a scheme namely, "Prime Minister Employment Scheme (Rojgar Yojna) to provide self employment to the educated unemployment youths during the year 1983. The scheme is implemented through District Industries Centre in the country. Under the scheme,the application can get loan facility upto Rs. 2 lakh for manufacturing activities and Rs. One lakh for business activities. The Scheme is implemented in the district since its inception.

    The following table shows the progress/implementation of the scheme in the district.

      SISI being the nodal agency, survey team visited a number of bank branches and inquired about the implementation of the scheme and recovery of the loan. It is informed that the recovery of loan in very poor. The scheme is not well published in rural areas. It is necessary to bring into the notice of rural mass about the scheme to achieve the actual goal of the scheme.

    1. Incentives:
    2. Small Scale Industries are playing a vital role in the national economy. On seeing the importance, Union and State Governments providing many incentives for the SSI sector. Rausen district falls under the "A" category of industrially Backward District.


      a) Central Incentives:

      In the line of globalisation and liberalisation of the economy, Government of India has announced its industrial Policy in 1991. According to the Industrial Policy,

    • The Licensing system has been abolished. Establishing an industrial unit under SSI sector has become very easy.
    • About 797 items are reserved for exclusive production in SSI sector at present.
    • There are 354 items are reserved under government purchase scheme, for such purchases from SSI sector government gives price preference also.
    • To ensure the timely payment from the medium and large scale units, Government of India issued a notification to establised Facilitation Councils in the state level.
    • Technology Upgradation scheme is implemented. Government of India is reimbursing 75% of the expenditure or Rs. 75000/- (Maximum) to get the ISO – 9000 certification for the SSI sector.
      For more detail, Small Industries Service institute, 10 pologround Industrial Estate, Indore can be contacted.

      b) State Incentive:

      The district is get all Incentives provided by the Government of Madhya Pradesh to industrial backward "A" category district. Out of seven existing development blocks five blocks come under "No Industry Block" as there is no Large/Medium scale unite is established in these blocks.

      According to the Industrial Policy 1994, the incentives applicable to the "A" category of industrially backward districts in Madhya Pradesh.

    • Government of Madhya Pradesh is allotting land /shed for the entrepreneurs on 99 years lease.
    • Subsidy on fixed Capital Investment @ 7.5 % to the maximum of Rs. 1.5 lakh. The maximum limit is Rs. 2 lakhs for thrust sector.
    • Sale tax relief on fixed Capital Investment (from the date of commencement of production ) 150 % for seven years and 200 % for five years in case of deferred payment. However, the units registered after 31.12.99 and those units already registered but not commenced the production on or before 31.12.2001 are not eligible for this relief. For more detail Directorate of industries, Bhopal or concern DTIC may be contacted.
    • Subsidy on interest is 2 % less than the lending rate. Maximum of Rs. 25,000/- per annum.
    • Re-imbursement of Project Report Cost of 0.5 % to 15 maximum if Rs. 3.0 lakhs.
    • Octroi/Entry taxes exemption on capital goods and raw materials for five years.
      In the present industrial scenario the units can not survive only with the Government incentives. The units have to stand itself and get prepared for cutthroat competition imposed by the multi-nationals in internal and international market.

    1. Technical Skills and Training Facilities:
