 Brief Industrial Profile of Bankura District
(West Bengal)

1. General Characteristics of the District:

The district of Bankura is one of the most backward districts of the State of
West Bengal. The district is characterized by low industrialization with high
dependence on agriculture. As such the State Government in its incentive scheme
has placed Bankura district in ‘C’ Category. The district is devoid of any large scale
industries and the rate of growth of Small Scale Industries is also not satisfactory.
The Small Scale Industries are either based on the processing of local resources or
are traditional in nature. However, the district is moderately rich in traditional skills,
particularly in the fields of handloom and handicraft.

1.1 Location & Geographical Area.

Bankura district is situated between 2238’ and 2338’ north latitude and
between 8636’ and 8746’ east longitude. With a triangle shaped contour, the
district lies in the Burdwan Division of West Bengal. The Damodar river separates
Bankura from Burdwan district in the north. The district of Midnapore and Purulia
share its southern and western boundaries respectively with Bankura. The south-
eastern part of the district is bounded to a certain extent by Hooghly district.
1.2 Topography

In general, the quality of soil of the uplands is poor for growing cash crops.
The lowlands on the other hand have fertile soil giving ample scope for farming.
Loam and clayey soil exists in the blocks of Indus and Kotulpur of Bishnupur Sub-
Division. The northern part of Sonamukhi block has a high content of alluvium soil
and is prone to wide spread cultivation of paddy, wheat, potato, oil-seeds, etc. The
soil, however, in the other blocks consists of sand loam and latitude gravel.
The Damodar, the Dwarakeshwar, the Gandheshwari and the Kangsabati are
the principal rivers flowing through the district. These rivers are mostly hill streams
originating from the western uplands and marked by seasonal flow of water. There
are also other smaller rivers like Silabati, Gandheswar, Sali, Jayponda which are
mainly monsoon dependent.

1.3 Availability of Minerals.

1.4 Forest

The district is moderately rich in forest resources. The total area under
forest in Bankura district is 148930 hectares. However, the revenue earned through
forest produce is not sizeable enough because regular felling of trees is not done by
the Forest Department and accordingly the utility of major forest produce on
sustained basis is not possible to report as far as this district is concerned. However,
large areas of forest exist in Sonamukhi, Joypur, Bishnupur, Motgoda and Ranibandh
areas that are considered to be the major forest produces growing areas of the
district.

ii) For CFC formation, stakeholders
contribution 10% of 30 lakh which is
equivalent to 3 lakh. Stakeholders are
unable to contribute this amount.
iii) For CFC formation, at least 0.5

Stakeholders are unable to spare this
from their existing nearly cultivated
land.

10 Thrust Areas Skill Development, Marketing of

11 Problems & constraints Educational background of each artisan
is poor (less than Class-VIII). Don’t like
to take risk on new products and
challenges. Initiatives are lso found less.
Br. MSME-DI, Durgapur has completed
Soft Intervention part and provided
training to sensitive artisans at least from
100 units on Market Development
Programme, Capacity Building,
Technology Upgradation for new design
and diversified products (Dokra & Sheet
metal works). Besides this, Soft
Intervention under MSE-CDP
Programme, the artisans were also
provided, 30 days exposure on ESDP on
Metal Castings, One exposure visit to
Metal Handicrafts Service Centre

12
 (MHSC), Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh was
also organized for eight selected
candidates.
Present status of the Cluster: The knowledge as gained from the training programmes
under MSE-CDP (Soft Intervention part), they were initially motivated to prepare Dokra
products in their idle capacity but due to funds constraint they have not proceeded
further and stuck into their traditional products (Bell Metal Thali). Due to their inert
attitude they are not able to accumulate 10% fund requested for the CFC formation. Lot
of correspondences have been made to the cluster but not a single reply received from
their end. Due to this passive characteristic of these entrepreneurs, no programme was
organized since the financial year 2011-12 onwards.
