1.2 Topography
The soil of the eastern part of Burdwan district is of rich alluvial variety and is
suitable for intensive cultivation of paddy, wheat, potatoes and other crops and
vegetables. The soil of the western part of the district is reddish and is not that
fertile.
The district of Burdwan is extremely fortunate in being girdled by three major
rivers the Hooghly on the east, the Ajay on the north and the Damodar on the
south. Apart from these three, there are myriads of minor rivers and streams which
criss-cross the district.

3.6 Growth Trend
Market analysis forms an important part of the industrial
potentiality survey of a district because it provides some information on indicators
such as nature of exchange, the level of economic activities, the possible extent of
forward and backward linkages, the overall dynamics of wholesale and retail centres
and the extent and quality of sales promotion and marketing efforts of various
agencies, etc. which prove to be very useful to planners, financial agencies and
individual entrepreneurs in promoting small scale, cottage and village industries in a
given region. As such, while planning the development of a district, considerable
stress should be given on the creation of market infrastructure.
This district enjoys a comfortable position as far as marketing is concerned
because it is very well connected with the huge market of Kolkata on the one hand
and the towns of Bolpur, Bankura and also the North Indian States on the other.
Burdwan district serves as a centre from where different types of consumer durables
are supplied to the state of Bihar and to the neighbouring districts. Birbhum,
Bankura and the coal belt of Bihar serve as ready markets for the myriad products of
Burdwan district.
Moreover, the district itself provides a l arge market for its own products. The
aggregate size of the consumer goods market of the district is significantly large.
Field investigation also reveals that the urban centres, viz. Durgapur, Burdwan,
Asansol, Raniganj, Chittaranjan, Kalna and Katwa have a large and growing middle
class and upper middle class population and provide an attractive market for various
consumer durables and non-durables. These urban centres also serve as wholesale
markets as far as consumer goods are concerned and another basic function of
these markets is to act as intermediate points for procuring consumer products from
Kolkata and Burdwan and other parts of the State and for distributing the same to
various markets both in the urban and rural areas in and outside the district.

12

Besides the urban centres, the rural areas of Burdwan district which are
agriculturally well developed also provide a large market for consumer goods and
agricultural implements.
Morevoer, the large and medium scale industries provide a large market for
numerous MSE units, leading to a large degree of ancillarisation.

Vendorisation / Ancillarisation of the Industry

In a district like Burdwan which is both agriculturally and industrially well

developed, it is only expected that a large number of small scale and ancillary
industrial units will come up and flourish.
The State Govt. is actively promoting MSE units as ancillaries to large and
medium scale industries. Special efforts have been made by the State Govt. to
motivate large public sector units to adopt MSE units as ancillaries. The numbers of
MSE units given ancillary status are:
