 Brief Industrial Profile of South 24-Parganas District
(WEST BENGAL)

1. General Characteristics of the District:

The district of South 24-Parganas has the unique salient features of proximity to
the highly urbanized metropolis of Kolkata on the eastern sides as well as the virgin
and beautiful natural environs of Sundarbans. It is one of the Southern-most districts
of West Bengal and has significant position in the industrial arena of West Bengal.

The district can be categorized into three broad groups (i) the marshy riverine
land of Sunderban (ii) The non-Sundarban rural areas and (iii) the Urban and Semi-
urban areas. As regard industrialization, the three noted area have contribution in the
field of industrialization for the district.

The vast rural area of Sundarban suffers from poor infrastructural and
educational facilities which are great hurdles for industrialization. The whole area is
prone to storms & cyclones during monsoon and agriculture is mostly monoculture.
89% people depend on agriculture. There is little impact by the presence of humble
no. of large, medium and some small scale industries in the Sundarban area. The
urban and semi-urban areas viz. Thakurpukur, Mahestala, Bishnurpur, Sonarpur,
Baruipur which are adjacent to Kolkata has locational advantage for industrialization.

1.1 Location & Geographical Area:

The South 24-Parganas district is located between 2230’45” to 2029’ North

latitude and between 894’56” and 883’45’’ East longitudes bounded by the river
Hooghly in the West. Bay of Bengal in the South, Calcutta city and North 24 Parganas
in the North & Eastern boundary is demarcated by Bangladesh and Bidya & Matla River.

Latitude North 20´20"

South 22'06"
Longitude. East 88'20"
West 88'60"

1.2 Topography

The soil is alkaline due to excessive presence of Sodium chloride. It causes the
soil more fertile and scanty. The soil is also classified as Gangetic alluvi and Saleni.
The texture varies from stiff clay to clay loam.

The district has numbers of river, the major rivers are Bidhadhari, Herobhang,
Matla, Thaneram, Mridhangabhang and Saptamukhi. There are numbers of cross

1.4 FOREST

In the whole district of South 24 Pgs, Sundarban occupies sole forest area
consisting 426300 hectares which is about 41.54% of the total geographical area.
Sundarban is the largest tidal mangrove-ecosystem with 4263 sq.km. area and a
magnificent gamut of flora and fauna in India. This is the only mangroves tiger land on
globe. Sundarban forest comprising of more than 65 species of mangrove varieties
which form the largest nursery for fish and shell fishes and are responsible for the
coastal fishery of whole eastern India. There is the significant in-fluency of Mangrove
tract on weather condition on Kolkata and its adjacent Metro Polish area. The main
Forest produce are Timber like goran, gnewa, sundari, bean, dhundul, Fuel and Honey.
The honey productions of the area have been increasing noticeably for the last few
years. This has been possible for enhancement in Mangrove Planning in flouring
season in Sundarbans

industrial unit’s mainly large scale/medium scale sector. It is already stated that about
180 large/medium scale units have been set up in the district, in addition to 63
electronic units in Salt Lake Electronic Complex. Most of the large scale unit’s viz. jute
mills, engineering units, textile mills, etc. came up in the district during British period
and procure huge quantity of their requirement from SSI sector. Hence, the process of
ancillarisation can be started by setting up units in the following areas:-

1) Corrugated paper boxes for packing

2) Card board boxes for packing of Hosiery products and leather shoes
3) Bobbin for jute & textile mills
4) Polythene pouch for milk
5) Printing of Polythene bags
6) Jute & textile machinery parts
7) Electronic parts

5. General issues raised by industry association during the

course of meeting

The district has a rich agricultural and horticultural base. Floriculture is also
well developed. Hence, a strong marketing & infrastructural network is essential for the
expansion of these sectors. The Leather Complex at Bantala and SEZ at Falta provide
opportunities for industrial development. These complexes should be well equipped
with modern technology and infrastructure. Improvement of road transport is also
necessary.
