Uttar Pradesh Location: - Northern part of India. It is a border of Nepal and Tibet in China -Northeast, West, the state of Madhya Pradesh -South, and the state of Bihar -Southeast. Also, Uttar Pradesh can be divided into three regions by different geographical conditions: Himalayan region - North, the Gangetic plains - Middle, and the Vindhyan hills and plateau - South.
History: - The history of Uttar Pradesh is very old and fascinating and it had a great impact on Indian culture and civilization. Uttar Pradesh was known as Brahma Fishi Deshi (meaning the land 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 been inspired by UP. Buddhism and Jainism appeared during sixth century B.C. in UP. Great Buddha gave his first sermon at Saranath, and he set foundations of his order in UP. It is said that Mahavira, who founded Jainism, died at Doora in UP. In third century B.C., the entire area of UP was in the empires of the Great Mauryan Monarchs. The rich culture of UP brought new proportions to the Middle Age Indian history. During Mughal Period, there were peaks of perfection and honor that effective administration, brotherhood, art, architecture, music, and culture 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 its intellectual leadership under the British administration. The British united Agra and Oudh into a province named the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. In 1935, the name was shortened to United Provinces. After India became independent in 1950 January, the United Province changed its name to Uttar Pradesh. In 1996 August 15, Prime Minister Deve Gowda named the Garwal region Uttarkhand as a new state although it is yet to be formed.
Language: - Hindi and Urdu Religion
:-
Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Islam

ADVANTAGES OF UTTAR PRADESH With a disciplined, productive and inexpensive manpower, it has attracted some of the largest international companies to set-up their business in the state. Thus today U.P. has Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Glaxo, Daewoo, Honda, Piaggio, and innumerable others doing thriving business. U.P. is presently the address of every one who matters in the industry in India. Endowed with fertile land, salubrious-climate and mighty- river systems, it has long been, the granary of India. It produces 19% of India's food grains, 22% of India's vegetables and 38% of the nation's potatoes. It has the largest livestock in the country and its milk production is also the highest. It is the largest producer of sugarcane and is also first in the manufacture of the sugar. The carpets & brassware of U.P. are well known internationally. They symbolize the immense strength of the traditional industries of the state. The perfumes of Kannauj and the Silk & Brocade industry 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 and 14% of Vegetables. It has the unique distinction of producing 4% of world's 9
wheat and is the leading producer in India for Sugarcane, Vegetables and Potatoes. It also has the largest livestock population and highest milk production in India, offering excellent opportunities for setting-up food processing units. Floriculture, Mushroom and other Horticulture based industries 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 where substantial foreign investment is forthcoming. There is considerable scope for investment in this sector in U.P. as traditionally this state has a large 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. India aimed 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 the highest bovine population in the world, and availability of cheap skilled labour (who have been in the business for generations), India has the potential to quiet easily surpass this target.

U.P. is one of the most important states in India holding sizeable population 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%. With regards 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 main raw material for leather industry are available. Major production centers and number of leather and leather products industries in U.P. are to the tune of approx. 11500, of which Kanpur and Agra are the two famous production centre in the world. Kanpur is a prominent centre for leather processing. About 200 tanneries are located in Kanpur. Kanpur tanneries specialize in processing hides into heavy leather (Sole, harness and Industrial leather). This is the only centre in India where saddler products are manufactured. Agra has been the biggest centre for shoe manufacturing in the country. Apart from these traditional centers for leather and leather products manufacturing in U.P., NOIDA has recently emerged as another major centre especially for leather footwear and leather garments. NOIDA 10
provides very good infrastructural facilities and establishment of FDDI in 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 in the industrial and economic growth of the State. The State accepts its role in nurturing private economic activity and entrepreneurship. It recognizes generation of wealth in the Private Sector as necessary for the overall prosperity of the State. It will, therefore, endeavor to forge a meaningful partnership with industry, in policy formulation and its actual execution and implementation.
Balanced development of tiny, small & heavy sector Small and tiny sectors, play an important role in creating a large number of employment opportunities besides providing a wide range of goods and services. Therefore, the State shall create conditions for a balanced and 11
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's economy. They will be strengthened, augmented and made competitive in terms 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 the competitiveness of its products. A facilitative atmosphere will be provided for the promotion of exports from the State and to enhance the competitiveness of exportable products.
Woo NRI Investment There is a tremendous potential for NRI investments in the State. Through their entrepreneurial skills and abilities, Indians, specially residents of Uttar Pradesh and the neighboring States, have made a mark in every field of human activity abroad. The State shall create an attractive environment for them to invest in the State. Procedures and systems shall be so 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 dire investment and create circumstances, where Uttar Pradesh becomes the leading State in the country for foreign investments.
Assured security of life & property In order to achieve the overall objectives of the New Industrial Policy 1998, the State shall ensure creation of an atmosphere of security to develop confidence in the entrepreneurs. Law & Order machinery will be toned-up in a way to be responsive to the needs of industry. Uttar Pradesh, has suffered from a stereotyped image, over the last many years, as an insecure State. However facts speak otherwise. The data published by the 'National Crime 12
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 security of life & property, to its entire population in general and those engaged in productive 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 activities of identified criminals. Decision has been taken to organize TripartiteMeetings' between Magistracy. Police and Industry at the district level, to address 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 avenue of employment and economic activity. Its critical role as Service Industry, has to be recognized, for faster economic development and reduction of pressure on land. The State shall create an environment conducive to rapid development of this Sector free from unnecessary regulation.
Interaction with Industry
It is appreciated, that the process of industrialization of the State, should be a synergic effort of industry and Government. Governmental attitudes , will change so as to perform a facilitative role. Industry will be consulted and involved 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, a tailor-made support package will be evolved on a continuing basis, in consultation with the industry itself. The State, shall also develop, a package of incentives and support services, to be extended for development of entrepreneurship in selected sectors, particularly in rural areas. Traditional industries 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 wherever necessary, the entire tax structure, so that it reflects the requirement and expectations of industry. 13
Preservation of Environment and Cultural Heritage Emphasis shall be laid, on promotion of such industrialization. which not only preserves the environment and cultural heritage of the State, but also revitalizes and forcefully reinforces it.
Revitalization of existing Investments to make them productive Uttar Pradesh is one of the leading States, in terms of existing investments in Industry. However, a number of Industrial units, especially in the small sector are facing several difficulties, which have impacted adversely on their viability, The State recognizes the need to revitalize them, so that the existing investments in them, could be made productive once again.
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 more than one ways. On the one , it increases the productivity of capital and on the other, it reduces the cost of production and marketing. Hence in the current process of liberalization and globalization. the availability of top quality infrastructure facilities, has become the most decisive factor in determining the location of industries and the extent of investments. Inadequate attention to the creation of infrastructural facilities in the past, can be said to be a crucial impediment in the efforts of the State, to realize its full economic and industrial potential with which it is abundantly endowed. It is imperative, that this major impediment is removed and conditions 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 have been 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 infrastructure projects.
14
Land, Power, Telecommunication, Air and Road transport are the most important components of Infrastructure. The State will adopt dynamic policies and take positive initiatives, to create an investor friendly environment, in the Infrastructure Sector. The Policy of the State in the Infrastructure 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, through Infrastructure Initiative Fund. Fund to associate Multilateral Agencies and International Financial Institutions The size of investments and long gestation periods of infrastructure related projects, have been a major bottleneck, in the privatization of infrastructure. Inadequate and incorrect assessment of commercial viability and wrong formulation of these projects, have inhibited the Private Sector from investing in them. The State has decided, to set up an Infrastructure Initiative Fund, to address this issue effectively, and to facilitate the participation of the Private Sector, in major infrastructure projects. The Infrastructure Initiative Fund, will engage the services of experts agencies, for examination of feasibility, formulation of major projects such as Express Highways. Bridges, Airports and Power Stations, determination of concessions and selection of promoters. Special Purpose Vehicles will be established for the implementation of selected projects, through the mechanism of Infrastructure Initiative Fund. Multilateral Agencies and International Financial Institutions will be associated with the infrastructure development of the State through participation, in this Initiative Fund, which will also use international expertise and know-how for the development of the State. Cabinet Committee to act as apex body for Infrastructure related projects 15
To secure expeditious decision making, in regard to Infrastructure related projects, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Development under the Chairmanship of the Chief Minister, would act as the apex body for Policymaking.
Working Group under Chief Secretary to provide preliminary clearances The Working Group on Economic Development, constituted under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary, will provide all the preliminary clearances and approvals for infrastructure related projects. This Group will obtain the approval of the Cabinet Committee, wherever necessary. For this purpose, it will act as the Secretariat of the Cabinet Committee for Economic Development. Development of Geographical Nodes / Industrial Corridors Concentrated and accelerated development of specific geographic locations as Industrial Corridors While the State is committed, to the balanced development of all the regions of the State, it has become necessary to develop certain specific locations, for the full realization of their industrial potential. In this context the State will develop Industrial Corridors in the various regions of the State in a phased manner. In the first phase, these Industrial corridors will be as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Noida- Greater Noida- Ghaziabad- Gautam Buddha Nagar Merrut -Moradabad-Bareilly. Agra- Aligarh- Firozabad- Khurja (Bulandshahr)-Kosi (Mathura). Lucknow- Kanpur. Allahabad- Bhadohi -Varanasi -Mirzapur. Gorakhpur- Basti- Deoria Jhansi- Lalitpur-Jalaun.
Corridors to develop as Areas of Excellence These Corridors, will be developed as areas of excellence, with high quality Industrial and social Infrastructure, so that, the already existing industrial potential of these areas can be forcefully highlighted to attract greater investments. These corridors will also facilitate planned and optimal utilization of the State' s resources.
Infrastructure Mapping Highest priority will also be given to the Upgradation of the existing Industrial Infrastructure. In the first stage, a detailed Infrastructure Mapping
16
will be carried out to evaluate the status, of existing infrastructural facilities. On the basis of this mapping, gaps and inadequacies in the existing infrastructure will be identified and an Action Plan will be formulated for their expeditious removal.
Restructuring of UPSIDC The UPSIDC, will be suitably restructured, to improve the maintenance of the existing Industrial Areas. The owners of the Units, situated within the Industrial areas, will be closely associated with the maintenance of these Industrial Areas. Wherever it is commercially viable, the maintenance of Industrial Areas will be privatised.
Industrial Cooperative Societies for maintenance of Industrial Estates
Industrial Cooperative Societies, will be constituted and associated with the maintenance of Industrial Estates working under the control of Directorate of Industries. The Government, will, supplement the contributions made by these Industrial Cooperative Societies upto a ceiling of Rs. 10 lacs.
All future Industrial Areas to be developed as Integrated Industrial Townships In view of the remarkable success of NOIDA and Greater NOIDA as Integrated Industrial Townships, this model will be extended to other pans of the State. All future Industrial Areas, will be developed as Industrial Integrated Townships, with superior quality social and economic infrastructural facilities like roads, power, water supply, drainage, residential. educational and health facilities. Private Sector participation, in the development of such areas, will be encouraged
Special Industrial Areas for Promotion of Agro based and Food Processing Industries To promote Agro-based and Food Processing Industries. Special Industrial Areas will be developed in the vicinity of major Mandis of the State. This will help to overcome the problems, arising out of inadequacy or storage and transportation infrastructure, while making available, other common facilities. Priority will be accorded, to setting up of Cool Chains in the Private Sector, to fulfill the needs of the agro-based industry. The State will provide
17
active cooperation in project formulation and financing of these, through the State Financial Institutions.
Upgradation of Infrastructure in major exporting areas Internationally competitive infrastructural facilities will also be developed, in the major Exporting areas of the State. Infrastructure development related funds of the Government of India and other agencies would be optimally utilized, in conjunction with the State resources to achieve 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, its availability to industrial units, has been uncertain in the past. The State will take strong measures to increase the Generation of Power and ensure its continuous availability to the industry. Highest priority, will be given, to the implementation of those Power projects, for which MOUs and PPAs have already been signed. 24 hours continuous power supply to all industrial areas, Industries above Rs.50 crores. EOUs s and Agro based and Food Processing Industries with 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, as receive power supply, from 132 KVA transmission system, will be exempted from all forms of rostering, unless required in the interest of the grid. To achieve this, the entire transmission and distribution system, related to such industrial areas, will be upgraded. All Export Oriented Units and other industries with an investment of more than Rs.50 crores, which are situated out 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. 10 crores and above.
Feeders with 75% industrial load to be declared as industrial feeders 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
setup at the cost of Industry itself, will be allowed, except in cases, where the concerned industry enters into a voluntary agreement with any other Industrial Unit, giving permission for tapping.
Special Concessions for Industries drawing power from primary system Industrial consumers, who draw electricity from the primary transmission system, will be provided a rebate on power tariff. The rate of rebate will be higher than that admissible at present. However, this facility will 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 the Associations at a single point. Distribution within the Industrial Areas and collection of bills will be done by the Association. The bulk power will be supplied at a rebate.
Permission to surrender a part of Load during period of recession In order to make the Power rules, responsive to the economic environment. Industries going through recession, will be provided the facility of temporary surrender of a part of their connected sanctioned load. This facility will be made available, on the recommendation of the Committee of Secretaries, constituted for Rehabilitation of Sick Industries. The facility will be 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, no System Loading Charges will be charged. Small Industries, with connected loads upto 100 HP, Mohammad Azharuddin hit the last of his three consecutive hundreds during his sensational debut. In 1986-87, Sri Lanka and India produced 1096 runs and lost only 17 wickets. In the 90s, India and West Indies produced an average of 73 runs per wicket. More recently, Shahid Afridi blitzed a 45-ball century, playing through the line and swinging across and one could sense him almost closing his eyes as he smote the ball; it was that kind of pitch.
Development of Industries
19
After 1857, the development of Kanpur was even more phenomenal. Government Harness and Saddler Factory was started for supplying leather material for army in 1860, followed by Cooper Allen & Co. in 1880. The first cotton 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 matured cotton industry. The city which hosted (and still hosts) the world famous 'Lal Imli' woolen factory, industries such as LML, Pan Parag, ICI Limited (now known as Duncuns Fertilisers), one of the largest leather industries in the world and myriad cotton mills. The city which boosts one of the largest number of defense establishments; 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 the development of many industries. The Juggilal Kamlapat Singhania family launched many industrial units between 1930 and 1970. The group is known as J K Group of Industries till date. The Jaipuria family contributed to the patriotic cause, by building the Swadeshi Cotton Mills in response to charges that the foreign rulers were raiding India of its cotton only to sell back textiles to the residents. Kanpur was known as the "Manchester of India" during the 20th Century. As of now, the city owns many leather tanneries, a 2-wheeler factory owned by LML India, under collaboration with Italy's Piaggio; and over a dozen Defense Ordnance Factories such as Small-Arms Factory, Ordnance Parachute Factory etc. It is also home to the pan masala and gutkha industry. Many of the British contributed vigorously to charitable causes in the city by building the Ursula Horseman Hospital, the "Hallet" Hospital, Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, by protecting the Allen Forest (now a Zoo) and many other efforts. Most of these are now renamed, though a lot of residents still call them by their old names. However the distortion of names is most visible at the railway crossing bridge next to the Railway Station, where the now-closed Murray Company is conveniently called Mari (Dead) Company.
