 BRIEF INDUSTRIAL PROFILE OF HOWRAH DISTRICT
1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DISTRICT:

The District of Howrah has gained its importance with the opening of railways from
Howrah in 1854. Prior to that a village named ‘Harirah’ – most possibly the source of the
present name of the District appears to have been located in or about the site now occupied by
Howrah town. The Administrative head quarter is situated in Howrah Sadar. The District is
covered under Presidency Division and occupies 9th Position in the State in respect of its size
with an area of 1467 sq.km. There is a large industrial population in the district. The industrial
heritage of the district is enviable and it plays a vital role in the economy of both the state and
the country as a whole.

Howrah city is much older than city of Kolkata and is connected by the Howrah Bridge
which is known as Rabindra Setu and very recently it has been connected by another Setu called
Vidyasagar Setu.

1.1 LOCATION & GEOGRAPHICAL AREA.

The district lies between 22-48’ and 22-12’ North latitude and between 88-50’ East
longitude.
The district is bounded on the North by the Arambagh and Serampore Sub-division of the
Hooghly District, on the east by Calcutta and the Barrackpore of North 24-Parganas District, and
Alipore and DiamondHarbour Sub-division of South 24-Parganas District and on the West Partly
by the Tamluk and Ghatal Sub-division of the later district and partly by Arambagh Sub-division
of the Hooghly district. The boundaries are partly natural and partly artificial. On the West and
South West the Rupnarayan, and on the East and South East the Bhagirathi constitute natural
boundaries, while on the North, except for small stretches to the North-East and North-West
bounded by the Bally Khal and the Damodar respectively, the boundary is formed by an artificial
line marking the Southern limits of the Hooghly district.

1.2 TOPOGRAPHY

Hemmed in between the river Hooghly on the east and the Rupnarayan on the west
intersected by the Damodar, the district consist of a flat alluvial plain. The surface soil in the
western part of the district, served by the river Rupnarayan and Damodar is sandy loam where
as nearer to the Hooghly hard clay loam predominates clay and Deep loamy soil prevail in the
North and lighter loam in the South.

The whole district is a network of number of rivers & canals. The principal rivers of the
district are Bhagirathi and its tributary, the Saraswati, the Damodar and its two branches the
kausiki and Rupnarayan. The district is also intersected by number of canals. All the rivers flow
from North to South keeping pace with the general slope of the district land.

3.7 VENDORISATION / ANCILLARISATION OF THE INDUSTRY

The question of ancillary development in a district arises, when there is dominating

presence of large/medium industrial undertakings and they can generate continuous demand
for their various requirements like spares, components, etc. In this regard the district of
Howrah is one step ahead of other industrially advanced district of West Bengal. The existing
units are mainly engaged in the manufacture of ships, rail locomotive, industrial furnace,
structural etc. and as such there is enough scope for ancillarisation.

3.9.1 POTENTIALS AREAS FOR SERVICE INDUSTRY

The primary objective of conducting Industrial Potentiality Survey in a district is to

select the candidate industries. In order to select those industries, factors like infrastructure,
markets etc. have been analyzed in the previous chapters. As already mentioned the district is
devoid of forest & mineral resources. As regards the availability of technical skills and
entrepreneurship the district is much ahead in the field of modern industrial sector. However,
the team after a detailed discussion with various promotional agencies like DIC’s, Bank, and
after examining various factors required for industrial development has suggested the following
candidate industries having scope for development in the small scale sector in the existing
situation.

3.10 POTENTIAL FOR NEW MSMES

The District of Howrah once occupied the prime position and was considered to be one
of the highly industrialized districts in West Bengal. A number of industries like engineering,
casting, steel fabrication, ship building, consumer goods industries, construction pressure die
casting, forging, electric installations, manufacturing of industrial electrical goods accessories
etc. had a large concentration in the district.
Over a period of last 30 years the industrial units located in Howrah district have
witnessed a number of problems like lack of demand, consumers diversification of products,
shifting of different industries in other states as well as opening up of similar type of industries
in different State of India which has caused ending of a monopoly like situation which was
prevailing at the time of independence of India. The lack of orders from Railways, Shipping
companies, Engineering and Structural companies, etc. have cumulatively caused down fall of
industries in the district of Howrah. Basically these industries were more or less ancillary type
of industries depending on the mother plant.
The development of modern small scale industries producing independent consumer
products or industrial products did not occur simultaneously as happened in Punjab especially
at Ludhiana. Therefore, the industrial scenario in the district of Howrah is totally different from
other State. Private enterprises are yet to develop so that they can capture independent market
in different products. However, based on the above background and the need for promotion
and development of entrepreneurship in the small scale sector, a list of potential candidate
industries have been drawn up which are considered to be suitable for taking up by the
entrepreneurs of the district. The list has been divided between resource based and demand
based industries which may be seen from the following:-

5. MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING MSME SECTOR

The district has a strong industrial base but still requires basic and modern
infrastructural facilities. Setting up of Industrial Parks, Estates would encourage the growth of
micro and small enterprises. To facilitate movement of goods and heavy traffic, roads need to be
widened and expanded. Power supply also needs improvement. A single window clearance
system for the MSE sector has to be initiated by the State Govt. to streamline the process of
industrialization. Credit needs of the MSE sector also require immediate attention.

6. PLAN OF ACTION FOR PROMOTING INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Howrah District though smallest in area is remarkably known as industrially developed district
in the state having a unique position in the industrial economy and has been placed as category
‘B’ for grant of state incentive/subsidy. Lack of entrepreneurship has been the primary reason
for slow growth in the small scale sector. The plan of action needed for promoting industrial
development in the district may include the following activities or programmes.

Entrepreneurial Development Programme :

The district lacks entrepreneurships required for promotion and management of modern small
scale industries. Efforts would have to be carried out to organize more and more
Entrepreneurship Development Programmes to promote entrepreneurship in the district with
the help of trade associations and various Government organisations.

Seminar :

Seminar is one of the important tool for spreading awareness amongst the local people. DIC
may consider organising seminar for promotion of entrepreneurship activities in the district in
collaboration with MSME-DI, Educational/Technical Institutions at regular intervals for
promotion and development of small scale industries in the district.

Industrial Exhibition :

Presently the district entrepreneurs consisting rural artisans and persons engaged in the
manufacture of handicraft items are participating in different village/block level fairs being
organized by DIC.

16
Study Tour :

DIC, Howrah may identify such prospective entrepreneurs for sending them in study tour so
that at the end of the tour they can be assisted in promoting modern small scale industries in
the district.

Construction of Industrial Estate :

Ready built industrial estates with requisite facilities provide an impetus to the process of
industrialization of an area.

Development of Roads :
Smooth road is one of the basic prerequisite for speedy industrial development. Easy
movement of transfer for carrying industrial raw materials, finished goods etc. to and from the
market will accelerate the process of industrialization.

Setting up of large and medium industries :

Large and medium industries provide scope for development of Ancillary industries and
promote general industrial/trading activities. The WBIIDC is responsible for promoting large
and medium industries.
