MADURAI: Small Industries Development Corporation (SIDCO) Chairman and Managing Director D. Rajendran inspected potential sites for the establishment of an industrial estate at Sedapatti near Madurai.

Along with K. Rajaram, Revenue Divisional Officer, Usilampatti, R. Senguttuvan, Deputy General Manager, SIDCO, Chennai, he visited a place bordering Chinna Kattalai-Perungamanallur, Poosalapuram, and two other sites at Sedapatti.

Mr. Rajendran, addressing the media at Sedapatti on Thursday, said that an area measuring 50 to 100 acres would be selected depending upon the feasibility and other economic factors. Sedapatti area was selected since it had no industries and no development activity took place there since 1975.

For all districts

There were 78 industrial Estates in the State and Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi wanted the number to be 100, spread over all districts. The larger perspective was to integrate the local communities, improve and sustain their livelihood and make them entrepreneurs. Among the districts, industrial estates were also to be established at Thirukazhukundram (Kancheepuram), in Sholingur (Vellore), Kolupalli (Krishnagiri), Polur (Tiruvannamalai) , Kadagathur (Dharmapuri), Asanur (Villupuram), Elambalur (Perambalur), Modakurichi (Erode), Sangagiri (Salem), Kandiyankudil near Tirupur (Coimbatore) and Vaipur (Tiruvarur).

Tamil Nadu Small and Tiny Industries’ Association, Chennai, and Friedrich Naumann Foundation, Germany, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Institute, and Industrial and Technical Consultancy Organisation of Tamil Nadu would be conducting a study for the projects, for which Rs. 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh would be given for each project on the basis of requirement.

On identifying the required land, he said that land acquisition in the case of Government ‘poromboke’ lands would be an easy task. But if it was private land, then the district administration must help and fix prices on the basis of mutual benefits.

Fifty acres would be acquired, of which 13 acres would be used for establishment of basic infrastructure such as roads, water supply, sewage treatment and storm water drains.

The remaining 37 acres would be allotted for the entrepreneurs of micro and small-scale enterprises.

The work would start once the land was identified and the estate would come up in a year, he said.

Though on the anvil for sometime, the Women Industrial Park in Kappalur would be established on 18 acres and tenders floated soon, he said.
