CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL :-

Jaisalmer was founded by king jaisa or Jaisal. The word Jaisalmer is said to have been derived form a combination oof word. Jaisal & Mara a local name for Jaisals fort. The present district is largely composed of the former Jaisalmer State, which was among the last Rajputana State to go under British Protection.

1.2 LOCATION AND LAND AREA:- Jaisalmer is the western most district of the Rajasthan state as well as that of India. It extends form 26 0 to 28 0 02 north latitude and form 69 0 3 to 70 0 2 east longitude. The district is bounded by Pakistan on its north and west, Barmer on South, Jodhpur on east and Bikaner on north east. It commands a unique strategic position.' The district has the geographical area of 38401 Km. Area wise the district is the larget one among all the district of the State of Rajasthan and account for 11.21 % of the total geographical area of the State.

1.3 PHYSIOGRAPHY :- The area comprising the district is almost sandy, dry and ill watered and forms part of the great Indian Desert of Thar. Physiographically, the district exhibits and undulation tarrain and could be deivided into their main region: viz. (I) The desert in the northern and western parts, (II) the platue or hillock region of Jaisalmer city in the center, and (III) the plains in the southern and eastern parts. There are interminable sea of sand dunes of different shapes and highest. The biggest are found in Ramgarh and Sam area. Begetation in the district is very poor due to lack of water and rainfalls.

1.4 CLIMATE & RAINFALL The climate of the district is dry and healty. It is characterized by large extremes of temperature and erratic fainfall. the hot weather is very prolonged and the heat during the summers, which extend up to end of June, is very intense. During the year 2015-16 the maximum temperature recorded at Jaisalmer was 47. C while the minimum was as low as 5-60C. The rainfall in the district is scanty and precarious generally varies in different parts of the district. The average normal annual rainfall is recorded 44 mm in the 2015-16. The rainfall generally decreases from the south -east to the north-west in the district. The

2 month's - western regions of the district have the scantiest rains and are largely confined to south monsoon season when about 86 percent of the annual rainfall is received.

1.5 GEOLOGY AND MINERALS :-

As already stated the area now known, as Jaisalmer district is to large extent covered by dunes of the transverse type i.e. the ridges are parallel to the prevailing direction of the winds. The Jurassic rocks comprising limestone sand stone and shale's amist the desert sand. According to survey conducted by Geology survey of India, these can be broadly classified into seven groups namely Eocene Beds, Bur Beds, Pariah sand stone, Badsar Beds, Baisakhi Beds, Jaisalmer Lime stone and Lathi Beds. The important minerals found in the district are fuller's earth, clay, gypsum, limestone, yellow and redocher and phosporite, though fairly large deposits of fuller's earth is also available in the district, its exploitation seems to be of a limited scale near Manda, Nehdai and Ramgarh. While clay occurs at Devikot, Chor, and Mandai gypsum is excavated at Mohangarh. Other important locations where large deposits are expected are Hamirwali, Lakhasan, Lakha, Nokh and Nehdai. Jaisalmer liestone is located at Amarsager, Moolsagar and near Jaisalmer town After good polish, it can be used as ornamental stones. Chips of these stones are used in mosaic tiles and cement flooring Red and yallow ocher are found in south and west of Devikot. The availability of phosphnite has been found near Beermania which may prove to be of great value in the manufacture of super phosphate fertilizers. A part of the availability of above stated minerals, the district also possesses very rich patches of petroleum, Oil and gas ( POL ).

1.6 FOREST, FLORA AND FAUNA :- The forest areas cover only 144.16 km. of land in the district constituting 0.38 percent of the total area of the district. Thus there are negligible forest worth in Jaisalmer district because of the climatic conditions. Hence, the prospects of forest development in the district in the near future seems to be bleak unless a regular water supply is assured.

On account of the prevailing desert conditions in the district, vegetation is very scarce. The vegetation of this area can be included in tropical Thoru forest area. Most of the flowering plants found in the area are shrubs and wild grasses which, however, do not survive for more that a few months after the rains. The main trees found in the district are Babul, Kumats, Neem Jal, Gugul, Ber etc. are prominent others are Neem and Khejri. The district not found any special type of wild animals in lack of wild forest or hills. The fauna found here is common variety such as Hyanas, desert fox, jackals and chinkara.

The game birds found in the district are the imperial sand grouse, the common bustards, the great Indian bustards, the Indian courser and the grey batrohidge. The

3 imperial sand grouse usually visits the area in winter during the month's October to February.

1.7 Administrative set-up :- The district is divided into three sub divisons viz. Jaislamer, fatehgarh and Pokaran and three tehsils viz Jaislamer, Fatehagarh and Sankara. A part of above the district also have four number of sub tehsils viz, Sum, Ramgarh, Nokh, and Bhaniyana. The administrative set-up of the district is as given under.

(A) MAJOR RIVER AND LAKES. No perennial river exists in the district. A few streams flow around Jaislamer town during the rainy season. Most of these seasonal streams are only nalahs with limited catchment areas. Water is generally blocked by the local inhabitants to form Khadeens' which are used for minor irrigation.

(B) GROUND WATER RESOURCES. The water level in district varies from 30 meters to 130 meters. The studies reveals that considerable quantities of water in the south-eastern region of the district, known as Lathi formation ( Lathi, Chandan, Barmer, Boarder, Dable near Jaisalmer ) is available.

(C) INDRA GANDHI CANAL PROJCET. The Indira Gandhi Canal Project formerly known as Rajasthan Canal Projcet may provide irrigation facilities to a great extent in the district after its coming in full operation. Till now the feeder canal and the mian canal having the length of 204 kms and out of 2236 kms. respectively have been completed along with more than 1663 kms long distribution system and the water in the main canal has reached up to RD 205 Barkat Wllah Khan sub branch (GRS) of Jaisalmer district However, the work on proposed 573 kms long distribution system of second phase is still under progress.Some areas of Pokran and Jaisalmer sub division like Pokran, Mohangarh, Nachna, Rahgarh, etc. may be covered under the command area of the indra Gandhi Canal Project and hence after the successful completion of the project the agricultural productivity in such command areas would certainly boost up. The total area which will be irrigated is 5.43 lakh hectares.

(D) OTHER IRRIGATION RESOURCE. As per information available from the district agriculture Dept. the actual irrigated area in year 2006-07 was only 81358 hectares, out of which 22881 was irrigated by well,58239 hectares by canals.

3.4.3 RAIL TRANSPORT

Being the district of strategic importance it also has a good B.G. rail network of 128 kms of length with 8 number of railway station. But the rail line is available only for district Jodhpur and no rail link has yet developed with the other neighboring districts viz. Barmer and Bikaner. Still it would also be worth to district terminally as well as with other neighboring districts of strategic importance. The existing railway station are their district head quarters are as given below. TABLE 3.4 S.

CHAPTER - V POTENTIAL INDUSTRIES AND OTHER CONTRIBUTORY FACTORS

5.1 AN OVERVIEW

Jaisalmer district is very important due to border district and has very much strategic importance. As started earlier, the Jaisalmer district is considered to be one amongst the category of industrially backward district of the state but future may be very good for Industrial Development, as agriculture production will increase due to IGNP and deposits of minerals.

5.1.1 WEEK NESSES

For such backwardness the follwing fact may be diven due attention: 1. Inadequate infrastructure facilities like inadequate rail link and poor availability of Water. 2. It's being located at border of India and Pakistan. 3. The district is part of THAR desert which is some extent restict the frequent mobility of persons from one plce to another. 4. Lack of adequate entreprenuership among the people of the district & Lack of skilled labour. Still there are two place in the distric viz. Pokaran & Jaisalmer where the position of infrastructure facilities is relatively better. 5. In Jaisalmer RIICO Industrial area vacant Plots area not available for new units as all the plots have been allotted furthermore there is any land available for extentsion. So some new land should be acquired like in village Jethwai so some stone based new units may establish. 6. Pokaran RIICO Industrial area has no infrastructre like Road, water, electricity, etc. So new units are not coming there. 7. Although district Administration has set apart two new Industrial Areas one at Brahamsar and another at Hamira but they are totally lacking in infrastructure facilities. RIICO is also not interested in these areas.

5.1.2 STRENGTH

1. Jaisalmer district is situated on the Indo-Pak Border but it has tremendous potential for agro & mineral based Industries, On completion of I.G.N.P. Mohangrah, Ramgrah will be new Mandis of Cotton, Groundnut, Mustard and

guar, The District may have more oil Industries at present recession in oil industries would not have been there. 2. The vast deposits of lime stone in Sonu area, Gypsum in Mohangrah area will boost up c;ement Industries. The Govt. enterprise RSMM & RSMDC are excavating lime stone in this area. 3. There are 3 Industrial area set up by RIICO two are set apart by Revenue Dept. and Mandi Dept. is also reserving land for I.A.S. This will certainly boost up Industrial atmposphere. 4. Jaisalmer is a tourist and historical place. Lacks of Foreign and Indian Tourist visit Jaisalmer every Year. They purchase handicraft and embroidery work items such tiny & Cottage Industries has good Scope. 5. The banks, KVIB and RFC are loaning Industries as well as hotels. There are about 115 small as well as star facility Hotels in Jaisalmer. The Hotetl Industry, Guiding and Camel Safari are good in business side. 6. The DIC is playing a vital role in increasing the Industrial activities under one roof. The Govt. policy of Single Window System launched recnly will definitely relive the entrepreneur and DIC will get solved every hurdle of entrepreneur by coordinating various departments.

5.2 STRATEGY SUGGESTED

1. To boost up the Industrial development in district exiting Industrial areas should be extent or a new I.A. at Jethawai should be developed by RIICo. Some agency should provide infrastructure facilities in Brahmsar and Hamira I.A.'s 2. Ramgarh and Sonu has ideal conditions for cement conditions for cement plants, As there is sufficient cement grade lime Stone, plenty of water and good supply of electricity, still it lacks rail line with Jaisalmer. So it is essential to link Ramgarh with Jaisalmer by Rail. 3. In rural areas folk women are doing good work of patch work and embroidery but good market is not available for them. The middlemen takes the lions share in the profit. So common market is needed for them. 4. This district is very far away form rest of country. The transport is costly so some tranport subsidy scheme should be here like in hilly area.

5.3 POTENTIAL INDUSTRIES The detail of potential industries in jaisalmer district is as under :

(A) RESOURCE BASED CEMENT The main raw material for cement Industry is lime Stone, in Jaisalmer District there are huge deposits of lime Stone at Sonu. As survey conducted by mines & Geology Dept. The total deposit of lime Stone are 6537.00 million Stone. Out of 6537.00 Million tone deposits, the cement grade Lime Stone is 4907 million tones, Chemical grade lime Stone, Chemical grade lime Stone in Sonu is 629 million tones & SMS grade lime Stone is 100 million tones. The main hurdle for cement Industry is lack of rail facility up to Ramgarh.

PLASTER OF PARIS & GYPSUM GRINDING Jaisalmer district is rich in gypsum deposit. the total deposits of gypsum estimated in district are 2.3 million tones. The main deposit of gypsum are at Mohangrah, Nachana, Nokh, Chinnu etc. The District Collector has set apart an Industrial Area for P.O.P. Industries at Hamira. The office of Fertilization carp of India is also functioning at Hamira. He main problem of setting P.O.P. Industry in tranportaion, the freight of trucks through unions is too high to bear by trader and as such the industries of Bikanar and Barmer are giving their products cheaper than Jaisalmer.

POTTERY The pottery work is well flourishing at Pokaran. There is good cluster of pottery artisans here they are manufacturing toys. Idols, statues, and other house hooked utensils. There is good demand of their items and their items are exported also though not directly by these artisans, the main problem of these artisans is that their skill is not good and there should be artisan complex and market problem/

HYDRATED LIME :- The main raw material for hydrated lime is lime Stone. There are huge deposits 629 millions tones of chemical grade Lime Stone at Sonu, the area is dry and good as conditions here for such Industries.

MARBLE CHIPS, KAREGY AND STONE CRUSHERS The yellow stone of Jaisalmer gives good shinning like marble so it is used in chips and as titels, Indira Gandhi canal is in progress so there are good demands of stone gitties of different sizes. Although the main village of district are connected with road but still many more villages are to be connected so stone grit has good scope.

LEATHER TANNERY The Rural economy of district is mainly depend on agriculture and animal husbandry the total live stock population of the district project up to march 2002 is about 31.66 lacks.

On the basis of of 5 % mortality rate the total hides may available in district is about 15.77 lacks square feet. In Pokaran town there are few families of cat Jatiya are engaged in leather tanning but not in organized way. So leather tannery has a good scope in district.

(B) DEMAND BASED

TYRE RETREATING The NH 15 passes through the district head quarter and about 200 Km. length of highway is passing through district. The Bikaner and Jodhpur districts are more then 300 km. from Jaisalmer District. A good numbers of Vechiles ply in the district so a tyre retreating service center can run well.

MOTOR REWINDING WORKSHOP The are near pokran, Lathi, Chandan, Rajmathai is irrigated by tube well. There is sufficient sub terrestrial water in Lathi, Chandan, (Lathi Series) and Pokaran area so

motor rewinding work shop can work well. Thus demand based Industries has good scope in the district because they are used in daily life.

5.4 SUGGESTED STARTEGY OF ARTISAND UPGRADATION

5.5.1 SCOPE AND OBJECTIONS:-

In order to develop the local handicrafts as well as local artisans of the district, to increase their expertise and to uplift the standard of living of these persons, it should be worth of suggest such strategies, which may assist there artisans in raising their earning secondly specific training and skill development programs may also be proposed to improve the 31

expertise of such artisans, Thirdly, proper and adequate marketing channels should also be developed for marketing the products of the artisans and lastly some sources should be suggested which may finance the existing as well as the new in coming units of artisans of generate more employment opportunities.

5.5.2 SUGGESTED MEASURES

On the daises of above observation related to various problems faced by the artisans of the district, it is realized that the economic development of the artisan units located mainly in rural and remote areas of the district the following measures may be considered for improving their existing status: I. Developing the artisan units to produce the quality products through adequate training facilities and skill development short duration programs should be organized Such programs may be organized with the help of various concerned institutions like MSME, RSIC, RLDC, and CWDB.

II. Necessary institutional support should be taken to encourage these artisans to take up independent production and marketing. Such measures will assist these artisans by releasing them form exploitation through middlemen.

1) Necessary institutional support should be given to these artisans on liberal terms and conditions to meet our their financial requirements so that these artisans may be involved independently in the production as well as in the marketing activities.

2) Promotional efforts through various concerned government institutions and bodies should be accelerated for formation of Co-operative societies of such artisans to cover them in the co-operative plans.

3) The Rajasthan Financial Corporation should activate the procedure of developing SHILP BARDIS in the areas of concentration of rural artisans.

5.5 PROPOSED AUGMENTATION OF INDUSTRIAL AREAS

Keeping in view demand for Industrial plots in Jaisalmer Industrial area, the expansion of existing Industrial area is proposed, simultaneously it is also proposed to accelerate the work of developing the new Industrial area of Pokaran, Rural I.A.'s may by developed at Ramgarh, Mohangarh, Nachna. The District Collector has set apart IAA's at Hamira & Brahmsar mainly for the Plaster of Paris and agro based Industries. 32

5.6 OTHER CONTRIBUTORY FACTORS TO THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT A part of suggesting the diversified natured potential industries in Jaisalmer district , a few additional measures also require due attention. These measures are as given us under.

PROGRAMS FOR DEVELOPING ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILL IN RURAL / REMOTE AND OTHER BACKWARD AREAS. Keeping in view in industrial computation in and near by Jaisalmer city on one hand on the other lack of adequate entrepreneurship and skill among the people of the district, it is suggested to organize the Entrepreneurship Development Programs (EDPS ) at Jaisalmer and such programs should be practical in nature and not the theoretical. The above- proposed EDPS may be sponsored /Funded by Small Industries Development Bank of India ( SIDBI) state Government various commercial bank, NABARD and other concerned agencies.

INDUSTRIAL PROMOTION CAMPAIGNS/CAMPS To draw the attention of potential entrepreneurs of the district, it is suggested to organize the industrial promotion campaigns/camps in Jaisalmer and Pokran.

CHAPTER VI SUMMARY OF FINDING AND ACCOMMODATIONS

The major proportion of the working force in the district i.e. about 65% is engaged in the agriculture sector. 6.1 Agricultural resources available in the district are very limited. But with development of Indira Gandhi Canal Project in the area it is being expected that such resources will increase in near furure. 6.2 The water resources in the district are also limited and hence the need is felt to develop more water resources. 6.3 The district has good number of livestock and hence 2280 tones of wool 14000 tones of meat, 53.82 lack square feet of hide and 7900 tones of bones are available every year. 6.4 The district does not have adequate rail and road network and hence there is the need of development the some to strengthen infrastructure facilities. Ramgarh should be linked with rail so some lime stone based big industries may be established there. 6.5 The district is rich in mineral resources and hence some suitable mineral-based industries are suggested in the district. ( Refer table 5.1) 6.6 Keeping in view the huge deposits of natural gas and mineral oils, a few numbers of industries based on these two resources have been suggested and incorporated in the report. 6.7 Keeping in view the increasing trend of tourist's arrival some tourism industries have also been suggested in the report. 6.8 The position of rural electrification is not found to the level of satisfaction as by march 2003 only 55.69% of the existing villages in the district were electrified, Therefore, to strengthen the infrastructure facilities in rural and remote areas, the work of electrification of such rural areas should be taken on priority basis. 6.9 As Jaisalmer stands at first place area wise in the state the distance between the village are very large. Keeping in view this fact, the network of exiting banking facilities is not appropriate in the district. Hence it is suggested to open some more branches of the banks. 6.10 Keeping in view the availability of resources and demand some suitable industrial unit have been suggested at various location.

6.11 It is also proposed to extend industrial area at Jaisalmer and to accelerate the development of industrial area at Pokran and Shilp gram at Jaisalmer. 6.12 Keeping in view the lack of entrepreneurial skill in the district. Entrepreneurship development programs are proposed at Jaisalmer and Pokran under the sponsorship of SIDBI and State Government. 6.13 To draw the attention of potential entrepreneur's and to create the industrial awareness among them, industrial promotion campaigns are suggested at Jaisalmer and Pokran. 6.14 To augment the artisan's activities and to raise their earnings the appropriate skill development program are suggested. Simultaneously, to develop the entrepreneurship in rural and remote areas, rural EDP'S are also proposed at the location of the concentration of the artisans. It is also proposed to accelerate the activity of formation of co operative societies.
