Acknowledgement

This project is about the district study of Kanpur, which I did as mywinter project. It was very informative as I got to know the very basiccomplexities of different industries.

First of all I would like to express my sincere thanks to the AdditionalDirector of Industries Mr. O. P. Srivastava who gave me better ideas &thoughts about the industries & gain a bit of industry exposure.

I worked on this project from 28 th october, 08 to 11 th december, 08and collected information by visiting various industries situated in theindustrial areas of Kanpur.

I was also supposed to get a questionnaire filled by the officers &the workers of various industries visited.

It was a good experience, which provided me a great insight of theResearch Survey Analysis. This work helped me in understanding theintricacies & complexities involved in the analysis & the interpretation of thedata.

The moral support & the perfect co-ordination have result in thesuccessful completion of the project.

History: - The history of Uttar Pradesh is very old and fascinating and it had a great impacton Indian culture and civilization. Uttar Pradesh was known as Brahma Fishi Deshi (meaning theland of sages and saints) in the later Vedic Age because of the identity as a dwelling of spirituality. Great epics Rama and Krishna (Ramayana and the Mahabhaharata) have beeninspired by UP. Buddhism and Jainism appeared during sixth century B.C. in UP. Great Buddhagave his first sermon at Saranath, and he set foundations of his order in UP. It is said thatMahavira, who founded Jainism, died at Doora in UP. In third century B.C., the entire area of UPwas in the empires of the Great Mauryan Monarchs. The rich culture of UP brought newproportions to the Middle Age Indian history. During Mughal Period, there were peaks of perfection and honor that effective administration, brotherhood, art, architecture, music, andculture reached. UP was under Muslim rule and directed to the way to a new integration of Hindu and Islamic cultures in the medieval period. After Great Mughal Period, UP remained itsintellectual leadership under the British administration. The British united Agra and Oudh into aprovince named the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. In 1935, the name was shortened toUnited Provinces. After India became independent in 1950 January, the United Province changedits name to Uttar Pradesh. In 1996 August 15, Prime Minister Deve Gowda named the Garwalregion Uttarkhand as a new state although it is yet to be formed.

Uttar Pradesh has a biggest population of nearly 187 million. The western plainis the most urban region. Agriculture is the most important section of the UPs economy,

employing about three-fourths of the work force. UP has the largest production of food grain andoil seeds in India. In addition, UP ranks the first in the production of wheat, maize, barley, gram,sugar cane, and potatoes.

ADVANTAGES OF UTTAR PRADESH

With a disciplined, productive and inexpensive manpower, it has attractedsome of the largest international companies to set-up their business in thestate. Thus today U.P. has Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Glaxo, Daewoo, Honda, Piaggio,and innumerable others doing thriving business. U.P. is presently the addressof every one who matters in the industry in India.

Endowed with fertile land, salubrious-climate and mighty- river systems, ithas long been, the granary of India. It produces 19% of India's foodgrains, 22% of India's vegetables and 38% of the nation's potatoes. Ithas the largest livestock in the country and its milk production is also thehighest. It is the largest producer of sugarcane and is also first in themanufacture of the sugar. The carpets & brassware of U.P. are well knowninternationally. They symbolize the immense strength of the traditionalindustries of the state. The perfumes of Kannauj and the Silk & Brocadeindustry of Varanasi reflect the grandeur of the exotic east.

Uttar Pradesh produces 38% of India's Wheat-production, 20% of Paddy,

21% of Sugarcane, 34% of Groundnut, 17.5% of Rapeseed, 8% of Fruits and14% of Vegetables. It has the unique distinction of producing 4% of world's

9


10/31

wheat and is the leading producer in India for Sugarcane, Vegetables andPotatoes. It also has the largest livestock population and highest milkproduction in India, offering excellent opportunities for setting-up foodprocessing units. Floriculture, Mushroom and other Horticulture basedindustries provide exciting prospects. U.P is among the largest producers of

agricultural commodities within the country.In case of the Industries sector, the State Government of UP is giving

emphasis on setting up of export oriented units and units wheresubstantial foreign investment is forthcoming. There is considerable scopefor investment in this sector in U.P. as traditionally this state has alarge population of the persons engaged in this manufacturing.

Leather industry is the fourth largest foreign exchange earner in India

after textiles and garments, gems and jewellery and engineering goods. Indiaaimed to achieve 10 per cent share(present share 5%) of the world leather

trade by 2000 AD, the target that it has quite successfully reached. With thehighest bovine population in the world, and availability of cheap skilledlabour (who have been in the business for generations), India has thepotential to quiet easily surpass this target.

U.P. is one of the most important states in India holding sizeablepopulation of livestock. Claiming a share of 22% U.P. ranks 1st in case

of Buffalo and 2nd in case of Cattle having a share of 12%. Withregards to Goat and Sheep it has 4th and 6th position respectively.Thus, U.P. has a very strong raw material base and all types of mainraw material for leather industry are available.

Major production centers and number of leather and leather productsindustries in U.P. are to the tune of approx. 11500, of which Kanpurand Agra are the two famous production centre in the world.

Kanpur is a prominent centre for leather processing. About 200tanneries are located in Kanpur. Kanpur tanneries specialize inprocessing hides into heavy leather (Sole, harness and Industrialleather). This is the only centre in India where saddler products aremanufactured. Agra has been the biggest centre for shoemanufacturing in the country.

Apart from these traditional centers for leather and leather productsmanufacturing in U.P., NOIDA has recently emerged as another majorcentre especially for leather footwear and leather garments. NOIDA

10


11/31

provides very good infrastructural facilities and establishment of FDDIin NOIDA is expected to promote more footwear.

Meerut is another centre for production of sports goods. Exports of leather goods in the year 1995-96 were Rs.7773.20 million, which was

16.6% of the total exports from India.

INDUSTRIAL POLICY

STRATEGY

Private Participation

The State will actively promote the participation of the private Sector inthe industrial and economic growth of the State. The State accepts its role innurturing private economic activity and entrepreneurship. It recognizesgeneration of wealth in the Private Sector as necessary for the overallprosperity of the State. It will, therefore, endeavor to forge a meaningfulpartnership with industry, in policy formulation and its actual execution andimplementation.

Balanced development of tiny, small & heavy sector

Small and tiny sectors, play an important role in creating a large numberof employment opportunities besides providing a wide range of goods andservices. Therefore, the State shall create conditions for a balanced and

11


12/31

harmonious growth of all segments of the Industrial Sector such as Heavy,Medium, Small and Tiny Sectors.

Strengthening of Traditional Industries

Traditional industries have thrived in the State, for centuries, and along

with varied cottage industries, have been the backbone of the State'seconomy. They will be strengthened, augmented and made competitive interms of quality, technology, design, and packaging and marketing.

Promotion of Exports

Exports are not only vital to the national economy, but they serve to

significantly enhance the professionalization of local industry and thecompetitiveness of its products. A facilitative atmosphere will be provided forthe promotion of exports from the State and to enhance the competitivenessof exportable products.Woo NRI Investment

There is a tremendous potential for NRI investments in the State.Through their entrepreneurial skills and abilities, Indians, specially residentsof Uttar Pradesh and the neighboring States, have made a mark in everyfield of human activity abroad. The State shall create an attractiveenvironment for them to invest in the State. Procedures and systems shall beso modified, as to facilitate their investment.

Attract Foreign Investments

Foreign investment is necessary for projects requiring large investments,like power, roads, bridges etc. The State shall attract foreign directinvestment and create circumstances, where Uttar Pradesh becomes theleading State in the country for foreign investments.

Assured security of life & property

In order to achieve the overall objectives of the New Industrial Policy1998, the State shall ensure creation of an atmosphere of security to developconfidence in the entrepreneurs. Law & Order machinery will be toned-up ina way to be responsive to the needs of industry. Uttar Pradesh, has sufferedfrom a stereotyped image, over the last many years, as an insecure State.However facts speak otherwise. The data published by the 'National Crime

12


13/31

Records Bureau', authentically establishes, that in terms of rate of crime,Uttar Pradesh is one of the better States of the country. This is at variance.to the popular myth, that has been in circulation. The State assures securityof life & property, to its entire population in general and those engaged inproductive economic activities in particular. Nodal Police Officers, have been

appointed in all districts to attend to the law & order needs of industry. A'Special-Task-Force' has been constituted, to effectively check the activitiesof identified criminals. Decision has been taken to organize Tripartite-Meetings' between Magistracy. Police and Industry at the district level, toaddress all the problems related to law & order, at the cutting-edge itself.

Recognition-of the role of service sector

Over the years, the tertiary sector has emerged, as an important avenueof employment and economic activity. Its critical role as Service Industry, hasto be recognized, for faster economic development and reduction of pressureon land. The State shall create an environment conducive to rapiddevelopment of this Sector free from unnecessary regulation.Interaction with Industry

It is appreciated, that the process of industrialization of the State, shouldbe a synergic effort of industry and Government. Governmental attitudes ,will change so as to perform a facilitative role. Industry will be consulted andinvolved in the formulation and implementation of policy, to the extent, that,industry will play the major role in determining the parameters of industrialization.

Formulation of Industry specific Tailor Made Packages

In order to respond to the needs of specific segments of industry, atailor-made support package will be evolved on a continuing basis, inconsultation with the industry itself. The State, shall also develop, a packageof incentives and support services, to be extended for development of entrepreneurship in selected sectors, particularly in rural areas. Traditionalindustries and crafts, will be supported and strengthened by provision of

inputs to enhance their viability and competitiveness.

Review of Tax Structure

The State, shall, also continuously review and revamp wherevernecessary, the entire tax structure, so that it reflects the requirement andexpectations of industry.

13


14/31

Preservation of Environment and Cultural Heritage

Emphasis shall be laid, on promotion of such industrialization. which notonly preserves the environment and cultural heritage of the State, but alsorevitalizes and forcefully reinforces it.

Revitalization of existing Investments to make them productive

Uttar Pradesh is one of the leading States, in terms of existinginvestments in Industry. However, a number of Industrial units, especially inthe small sector are facing several difficulties, which have impactedadversely on their viability, The State recognizes the need to revitalize them,

so that the existing investments in them, could be made productive onceagain.

Up gradation of Technical Entrepreneurial skills In order to develop a culture of entrepreneurship, special emphasis will

be laid on the up gradation of technical skills and entrepreneurial tools.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure plays an extremely important part in industrialization.High quality infrastructure, provides competitive edge to industry, in morethan one ways. On the one , it increases the productivity of capital and onthe other, it reduces the cost of production and marketing. Hence in thecurrent process of liberalization and globalization. the availability of topquality infrastructure facilities, has become the most decisive factor indetermining the location of industries and the extent of investments.

Inadequate attention to the creation of infrastructural facilities in thepast, can be said to be a crucial impediment in the efforts of the State, torealize its full economic and industrial potential with which it is abundantly

endowed. It is imperative, that this major impediment is removed andconditions be created for better realization of the Slate's potential.Highest priority will now be provided, by the State to the creation of

high quality infrastructural facilities. The speed, with which decisions havebeen taken and implemented, even to the extent of amending existing laws,to facilitate the construction NOIDA Toll Bridge. Between NOIDA and Delhi,demonstrates the importance that the State attaches to infrastructureprojects.

14


15/31

Land, Power, Telecommunication, Air and Road transport are the mostimportant components of Infrastructure. The State will adopt dynamicpolicies and take positive initiatives, to create an investor friendlyenvironment, in the Infrastructure Sector. The Policy of the State in theInfrastructure Sector based on the following three pillars :-

Three Pronged Strategy

1. Development of Infrastructure, through Private Sector participation.2. Comprehensive and rapid development of selected Geographical

Corridors, with high quality infrastructural facilities.3. Up-gradation of existing Infrastructure! facilities.

Infrastructure Initiative Fund

Private Sector Participation in Major Infrastructure Projects, throughInfrastructure Initiative Fund. Fund to associate Multilateral Agencies andInternational Financial Institutions

The size of investments and long gestation periods of infrastructurerelated projects, have been a major bottleneck, in the privatization of infrastructure. Inadequate and incorrect assessment of commercial viabilityand wrong formulation of these projects, have inhibited the Private Sectorfrom investing in them. The State has decided, to set up an InfrastructureInitiative Fund, to address this issue effectively, and to facilitate theparticipation of the Private Sector, in major infrastructure projects. TheInfrastructure Initiative Fund, will engage the services of experts agencies,for examination of feasibility, formulation of major projects such as ExpressHighways. Bridges, Airports and Power Stations, determination of concessions and selection of promoters. Special Purpose Vehicles will beestablished for the implementation of selected projects, through themechanism of Infrastructure Initiative Fund. Multilateral Agencies andInternational Financial Institutions will be associated with the infrastructuredevelopment of the State through participation, in this Initiative Fund, whichwill also use international expertise and know-how for the development of the State.

active cooperation in project formulation and financing of these, through theState Financial Institutions.

Upgradation of Infrastructure in major exporting areas

Internationally competitive infrastructural facilities will also bedeveloped, in the major Exporting areas of the State. Infrastructuredevelopment related funds of the Government of India and other agencieswould be optimally utilized, in conjunction with the State resources toachieve this objective.

24 Hour Uninterrupted Power Supply

Continuous and high quality power supply is extremely important for the

development of industries. Due to shortage of power in the State, itsavailability to industrial units, has been uncertain in the past. The State willtake strong measures to increase the Generation of Power and ensure itscontinuous availability to the industry. Highest priority, will be given, to theimplementation of those Power projects, for which MOUs and PPAs havealready been signed.

24 hours continuous power supply to all industrial areas, Industriesabove Rs.50 crores. EOUs s and Agro based and Food Processing Industrieswith investment above Ks. 10 Crores

The Stale will ensure 24 hour uninterrupted supply of power to the

industries situated in the Industrial Areas. All such Industrial Areas, asreceive power supply, from 132 KVA transmission system, will be exemptedfrom all forms of rostering, unless required in the interest of the grid. Toachieve this, the entire transmission and distribution system, related to suchindustrial areas, will be upgraded. All Export Oriented Units and otherindustries with an investment of more than Rs.50 crores, which are situatedout side the Industrial Areas, will also be provided continuous power supply,through dedicated feeders. This facility, will also be provided to Electronic,Agro-based and Food Processing industrial units with an investment of Rs. 10crores and above.

Feeders with 75% industrial load to be declared as industrialfeeders and exempted from all power cuts

All feeders, which have more than 75 per cent industrial connected load,will be treated as industrial feeders, and will be exempted from rostering.The UPSEB will make arrangements, for the separation of all connections of other categories from such feeders. No tapping from dedicated feeders,

18


19/31

setup at the cost of Industry itself, will be allowed, except in cases, wherethe concerned industry enters into a voluntary agreement with any otherIndustrial Unit, giving permission for tapping.

Special Concessions for Industries drawing power from primary

system

Industrial consumers, who draw electricity from the primarytransmission system, will be provided a rebate on power tariff. The rate of rebate will be higher than that admissible at present. However, this facilitywill be made available only if the concerned industry has borne the cost of down stepping.

Industry Associations to distribute Power in Industrial Areas

Industry Associations will be given the right to distribute Power within

Industrial Areas. For this purpose, bulk power will be made available to theAssociations at a single point. Distribution within the Industrial Areas andcollection of bills will be done by the Association. The bulk power will besupplied at a rebate.

Permission to surrender a part of Load during period of recession

In order to make the Power rules, responsive to the economicenvironment. Industries going through recession, will be provided the facilityof temporary surrender of a part of their connected sanctioned load. Thisfacility will be made available, on the recommendation of the Committee of Secretaries, constituted for Rehabilitation of Sick Industries. The facility willbe provided, for a minimum period of one year and maximum of two years.It, during this period, the industry seeks restoration of its original load, noSystem Loading Charges will be charged. Small Industries, with connectedloads upto 100 HP, Mohammad Azharuddin hit the last of his threeconsecutive hundreds during his sensational debut. In 1986-87, Sri Lankaand India produced 1096 runs and lost only 17 wickets. In the 90s, India andWest Indies produced an average of 73 runs per wicket. More recently,Shahid Afridi blitzed a 45-ball century, playing through the line and swingingacross and one could sense him almost closing his eyes as he smote the ball;it was that kind of pitch.

Development of Industries

19


20/31

After 1857, the development of Kanpur was even more phenomenal.

Government Harness and Saddler Factory was started for supplying leathermaterial for army in 1860, followed by Cooper Allen & Co. in 1880. The firstcotton textile mill, the Elgin Mills were started in 1862 and Muir Mills in 1882.

The city which once was termed as Manchester of India for its maturedcotton industry. The city which hosted (and still hosts) the world famous 'LalImli' woolen factory, industries such as LML, Pan Parag, ICI Limited (nowknown as Duncuns Fertilisers), one of the largest leather industries in theworld and myriad cotton mills.

The city which boosts one of the largest number of defenseestablishments; To name a few Hindustan Aeronautical Limited (HAL),DMSRDE, Small Arms Factory(SAF), Field Gun Factory and Parachute factory.

The British India Corporation (BIC) was headquartered here and led thedevelopment of many industries. The Juggilal Kamlapat Singhania familylaunched many industrial units between 1930 and 1970. The group is known

as J K Group of Industries till date. The Jaipuria family contributed to thepatriotic cause, by building the Swadeshi Cotton Mills in response to chargesthat the foreign rulers were raiding India of its cotton only to sell backtextiles to the residents. Kanpur was known as the "Manchester of India"during the 20th Century. As of now, the city owns many leather tanneries, a2-wheeler factory owned by LML India, under collaboration with Italy'sPiaggio; and over a dozen Defense Ordnance Factories such as Small-ArmsFactory, Ordnance Parachute Factory etc. It is also home to the pan masalaand gutkha industry.

Many of the British contributed vigorously to charitable causes in the

city by building the Ursula Horseman Hospital, the "Hallet" Hospital, HarcourtButler Technological Institute, by protecting the Allen Forest (now a Zoo) andmany other efforts. Most of these are now renamed, though a lot of residentsstill call them by their old names. However the distortion of names is mostvisible at the railway crossing bridge next to the Railway Station, where thenow-closed Murray Company is conveniently called Mari (Dead) Company.
