101 CHAPTER-IV MEASURMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY Decentralization of industries from Mumbai Metropolitan Region is the main factor of development of industries in Thane district. After the establishment of M.I.D.Cs in all the talukas of Thane district, excluding Mokhada taluka number of industries has increased. In Thane district, highest number of small, medium and large scale industries are located in Thane taluka followed by Pal ghar taluka. Small scale units are also developing in lawhar taluka. Tribal population is one of the important reason for poor development of industries in Jawhar,Wada, Shahapur and Murbad talukas. Small, medium and large scale industries are well developed in Kalyan, Ulhasnagar, Bhiwandi and Vasai talukas. Large employment is generated by the development of manufacturing activity in Thane district. Employment engaged in small scale industries is more than the employment in large scale industries. t-:Jearly tifty per cent employment of manufacturing sector is engaged in Thane taluka. But due to small number of established industries in Jawhar taluka employment generated is only 185. Outside M.M.R., Palghar taluka is industrially well developed. Hence about 22 % of the total employment of Thane district is generated in Palghar taluka. Large number of employment is engaged in industrial activity in Thane distlict. v Alexander, J. (1958) and Linge, G.J.R. (1960) used the techniquc to find out the concentration and dispersal of manufacturing activities. To measure the concentration, distribution and . dispersal' of any phenomenon different methods and techniques arc uscd . such as Location Quotient, Lorenz curve and Gini's Coefficient etc (Khan, 1998). 4.1 Location Quotient (L.Q.) General concentration of enterprise can be quantified with the help of L.Q. or by Coeff. of localization. This technique was primarily devised in late forties to study industrial location. In the study of distribution of industrial phenomenon we would like to identify areas where particular enterprise is concentrated, where its presence is marginal and where 102 it is absent. Florence, (1948) compares a region's share of some enterprise with its share of some aggregate. Ec. Tn ENTc Where, EC - Area of the enterprise in a county/ State EN - National area of the enterprise V'-l(\1\ . '\ \ TC - Total area of specified enterprise in a county. TN - National area of the specified enterprise. The concentration of index is the ratio of ratios. The concept of concentration enables one to compare and associate enterprise distribution on a uniform scale. With the help of this method we can arrive at meaningful generalization in the industrial geography of an area. We may be able to identify the enterprises which are highly localized and those which are widely spread It is also important to examine the changes of pattern of concentration over a period of time. L.Q. 1 means the pattern is similar in the component unit and the region. If the L.Q. is > 1 it indicates higher concentration as compared to region and L.Q. < 1 indicates less of concentration in relation to region as a whole. Location Quotients for SSI units in Thane district are calculated and they are 0.91 to 1.04. It indicates that concentration of industrial units in a taluka is more or less equal in proportion with concentration in the district (Table No: 4.1, Fig No: 4.1). Location Quotients- LSI units in thane district is ranging from 0.13 to 3.70. It indicates that the concentration of industrial units of LSI at taluka and district level is not in same proportion. Concentration in Murbad taluka (3.70) is the highest bu~ it is very low in Vasai taluka (0.13) as compared to the district (Table No: 4.2, Fig No: 4.2). 4.2 Manufacturing Intensity in Thane District Once an industry or Industries are setup at any particular place certain by-product industries come up and industrial landscape is formed. In other words manufacturing regions af' originatef. All the manufacturing regions do not have same manufacturing intensity. To measure the level of manufacturing or industrialization several methods have 103 Table No: 4.1 LOCATION QUOTIENT - SSI UN1TS THANE DISTRICT (2002). 1 SR TALUKAS NO OF UN1TS L.Q. NO.

Strong (1937), Geer, Wright (1938), Thompson, J (!955) C.FJones (1973), used different variables for the measurement (MandaI, B.1978). In case of Thane district two types of data. are used. I] Number of Registered Factories and 2] Persons employed in manufacturing. Hence the intensity of manufacturing has been calculated at Taluka level on the basis of number of registered factories and employment as mentioned above. Manufacturing intensity has been calculated by the formula: M.l. = X+ Y where, 2 No offactories in a Taluka. X = --------------------------------------- X 100 No of factories in Thane District. No of persons employed in manufacturing in a Taluka y= No of persons employed in manufacturing in the District. Manufacturing intensity is highest (14.36) in Thane taluka.(Table No: 4.5) Metal, textile and chemical units are in large number; their proportion ranges from 18.50% to 20.86%. More than 50% engineering, metal and chemical industries are located in Thane taluka. M.I.D.C. has established large industrial areas like Wagle and T.T.C. in Thane taluka. Hence manufacturing intensity in Thane taluka is more than other talukas. Palghar taluka also has a high level of manufacturing intensity where the proportion. of plastic, chemical, textile and other industries is remarkable. Another important taluka is Vasai, which has high manufacturing intensity, (8.69). Development of co-operative industrial estates in Vasai taluka helped to increase manufacturing intensity of Vasai taluka. There are more than 2,000 industrial units employing 14,000 workers. But there are some talukas - like Jawhar, Wada, Talasari, Shahapur and Murbad where manufacturing intensity is less than two. These are the tribal talukas and away from Mumbai-Thane industrial and commercial centers which are not easily accessible. Bhiwandi, Ulhasnagar and Kalyan talukas are industrially developed and manufacturing intensity is medium. Manufacturing intensity was also medium in Bhiwandi taluka in 1994, but due to closing of cotton textiles in Mumbai and closing of power-looms in Bhiwandi, the manufacturing intensity declined 108 Table No: 4.3 THANE DISTRICT - SSI AND LSI UNITS (2002).

Firstly, to clarify property rights, by ensuring that land records maintained by the State mirror the reality on the ground. A discordance between the two, i.e., records and reality, implies that it is dicult to ascertain and assert rights over land. Secondly, land record modernisation aims to reduce the costs involved for the citizen to access and correct records easily in order to ensure that the records are updated in a timely manner. This report aims to map, on a pilot basis, the progress of the DILRMP, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, in the State of Maharashtra.

    Community Care of the Physically Disabled Due to Leprosy

    Original Article Community care of the physically disabled due to leprosy R. Ganapati Director Emeritus, ABSTRACT Bombay Leprosy Project, 6/27, Amar Bhuvan, This preliminary presentation based on extensive field studies carried out by Bombay Leprosy Project, a Sion (E), Mumbai, research-oriented NGO, portrays the alarming dimensions of the disease burden felt by rural communities and Maharashtra, India recommends a cost effective field model. This study in an adopted rural population in Shahapur “taluka” of Thane District assumes tremendous significance and is worthy of replication in comparable situations. This is particularly so in the background of the absence in the literature of any similar field studies based entirely on community care of the physically disabled due to leprosy. The magnitude of the problem posed by leprosy patients with disabilities and their rehabilitation is highly challenging and is expected to pose a heavy burden on the community as well as unprecedented strain on the PHCs managed by the government. The health planners should rethink on future strategies in such a manner that human rights of the downtrodden patients suffering from the “neglected disease” of leprosy are not sidelined Key words: Community, door step services, leprosy disabilities INTRODUCTION emphasis to disability care in the “post-elimination era.” The publication of operational guidelines on Leprosy “elimination” based on mass “Disability prevention and Medical Rehabilitation” chemotherapy is believed to be one of the most is an evidence of this.

    Letter to the Editor

    Lepr Rev (2008) 79, 340–341 Letter to the Editor CAN PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRES OFFER CARE TO THE LEPROSY- DISABLED AFTER INTEGRATION WITH GENERAL HEALTH SERVICES? –A STUDY IN RURAL INDIA We have earlier reported on the disease burden caused by leprosy disabilities in Shahapur, a ‘taluka’ (sub-unit of a district) situated about 100 km from the metropolis of Bombay.1,2 In the population of 2,78,524, a total of 286 patients with disabilities were identified by engaging rural volunteers working under trained supervisory staff. This was the outcome of a campaign in 2003. The area of Shahapur taluka was wide. We could not cover the entire population, some villages being located in inaccessible hilly terrains. As the Primary Health Centre (PHC) is expected to play in future a crucial role in the management of leprosy in an integrated set up, we started an investigation focusing only on the population covered by four PHCs (out of nine) in Shahapur. We intensified the identification of disabilities. The main object was to detect obviously visible deformities (grade 2) due to leprosy after simple training of the volunteers. However a few grade 1 disabilities were also identified and confirmed. Observations In the population of 1,49,029 covered by four PHCs, 407 (grade 2: 344, grade 1: 63) patients as seen in the following table were unearthed representing a prevalence rate (PR) of disabilities alone to the tune of 27·3 per 10 000. Out of these there were 266 patients with deformity newly detected. These were not found in the list of deformed patients provided by the government.

Arts, Commerce and Science College, Panvel, Navi Mumbai, Email: [email protected] Abstract The significance of literacy lies in reading and writing effectively with acquiring the basic math skills to carry out the normal and simple transactions and communication required by an individual in any society. Literacy is critical to economic development that is associated with an individual and community wellbeing in any nation. Literacy is one of the most importance skills when it comes to our personal growth, culture and development. It is one of the major indicator of changing economy and society. Literacy helps in acquiring skills that promotes development and confidence in individual. In the era of globalization where most of the transactions and working are becoming highly digitalized literacy forms the basic to every individual and organization. Thus literacy is one of the most challenging aspects of human life, society and nation in the contemporary era of a digitized world. Keeping this aspect in view the present study focuses on the status of literacy levels in the newly formed Palghar district of Maharashtra state which is largely dominated by tribal population. The present work is an attempt to study spatio-temporal trend in literacy levels at taluka level in Palghar district based on census data of India from 1991 to 2011.The male- female literacy levels has been worked out.
