The main industrial area is situated at Jainpur in
Akbarpur Block at about 38 kms. from Kanpur City on the both sides of Kalpi Road. The U.P.
State Industrial Development Corporation (UPSIDC) has developed a large industrial area
measuring about 294.70 acres in Jainpur. Similarly two industrial areas measuring 10.52
and total 15.70 acres have been developed by UPSIDC at site no.1 and 2 in Rania, housing
47 and 68 developed plots respectively. Besides, an other industrial Estate has been
developed in Rania in which 100 developed Plots and 8 Sheds are available. The details are
given below:-
Area 26.40 acres, developed plots 108, allotted Sheds/Plots = 108.
These industrial estates provide developed plots to
the entrepreneurs with all infrastructural facilities such as road, electricity, drainage,
sewerage, telephone communication and common facilities etc.
Details of industrial areas developed by UPSIDC in
Jainpur and Rania are given below:-
The review of industrial development in Kanpur Dehat
indicates that the district is industrially backward and despite the various schemes and
incentives by the government, the progress is not encouraging. This, perhaps, is on
account of lack of entrepreneurial motiveness and publicity of various scheme launched by
the government through industries department. It is, therefore, essential that sufficient
number of programmes are organized in the different part of the district particularly at
block levels towards enterpeneurship development and publicity of various government
schemes.
The lack of available infrastructure also inhibits the
growth of industrial activities in the district. People prefer to go the Kanpur Nagar for
setting of their industrial venture on account of better infrastructure like rail, road,
communication and power etc. The industrial development of the particular district depends
very much on the combined efforts by different departments particularly responsible for
infrastruc-ture development. The communication facilities though are available in the
district but its operational efficiency is very poor and it is difficult for the
entrepreneurs to have effective communication with their counterparts,customers and
suppliers etc. Keeping in view the emerging need of entrepre-neurs in the district, UPSIDC
is planning to set up a ultra modern Growth Centre in the name of Plastic City in Jainpur
in an area of about 351.25 acres.
However, with the strengthening of activities by local
industries department, it is expected that the district will achieve considerable growth
in industrial sector by the year 2010 as depicted in the following table.

More and more emphasis is to be given
towards development of local resources and demand based industries utilizing the available
skills. The skill oriented training programmes shall be of much use for the development of
industrial culture. Today more than 60% of young manpower is jobless on account of lack of
entrepreneurship and employment opportunities. This work force is to be suitably trained
for self-employment or employment with other industries.
Kanpur Dehat being very near to Manchestar
of East viz., Kanpur Nagar, ample scope exists for the development of
ancillaries, auxiliaries and other industries required to serve bigger industries
established there. In order to accommodate new industries as envisaged above the local
authorities particularly industries department will have to develop further industrial
estates and areas providing developed plots and sheds with all the infrastructural
facilities as discussed above. It has been proposed to develop additional 10 mini grow the
centres, 25 acres each at suitable places for industrial development. The number of
electric sub-stations have to be increased accordingly for proper power supplies to
forthcoming industries. All such developments shall require a fund of Rs.15 crores.
The department of Khadi & Gramodyog
Board is playing important role for the development of Khadi & Village Industries as
per area of jurisdiction. There appears to be lack of awareness with the various schemes
launched by Khandi & Village Board for the benefit of small entrepreneurs. The
advertisement and publicity of Khadi & Village Industries Scheme is therefore, much
necessary to increase the number of beneficiaries.
