Government of Kerala INDUSTRIAL POTENTIAL SURVEY REPORT PALAKKAD DISTRICT 2014 District Industries Centre Palakkad March 2015 I Foreword The development of a nation mainly depends upon the industrial growth and thus Micro, Small and Medium level enterprises play a great role not only in investing a large sum of money but also in providing employment. This report on Industrial potential survey in Palakkad district is prepared with an aim to analyse the industrial scenario of the district on par with the availability of resources and infrastructure and thus to identify potential industrial sectors prominent for rapid industrialisation based on the consumer taste and demand of the people. Efforts have also been made to point out the weaknesses in infrastructural facilities and to study the problems faced by the entrepreneurs in MSME sector. Some suggestions gathered from the prominent industrialists and promoters are also summarised in this report. The geographical nature and abundance of agricultural products in Palakkad are immensely helpful for setting up of a large number of manufacturing units in MSME sector. The government objective of achieving balanced regional development, encouraging new and prospective entrepreneurs, optimum utilisation of scarce resources, making use of highly sophisticated technology and exploiting local skills etc have been kept in mind while preparing this report. The role of other govt agencies involved in industrial promotion in the district and the industrial growth achieved through them are also considered in this report. A team of officers in the District and Taluks, under the supervision of Sri. D.S. Shibukumar, Manager (Economic Investigation), have undertaken this task and have been meticulous in completing the job. I thank all Assistant District Industries Officers and Industrial Extension Officers in all Taluks and officers in DIC who have contributed with valuable data, analytical contents and other supports. I also express my sincere thanks to KSDIC, KINFRA, SIDCO, Lead Bank, Census department, and other district level offices in Palakkad for providing data for the preparation of this publication. I hope the study, which provides useful information on the assessment, problems and shortcomings in the process of implementation of industrial promotion activities, would be extremely useful to the planners and policy makers to take suitable corrective actions to ensure prompt development of industry in the district.
