Only 24.4 %populotion of the district ore ogro based where 10.28% people are cultivators and about 14.12 % people ore agricultural labourers v.'hile 75.6% people are engaged in non ogro based occupation . Nearness and easy accessibility to Kolkato give the district a disnnct advantage in infrastructure and exposure to markets . For these reasons Howrah at one time had more than 35000 industries inclusive of snail, medium and big. The industries hove led to the rapid urbanization of Howrah district. But shrinkage of the dem and pool for the industrial produces and reluctance to appreciate modern technologies txive winded up a good number of units .Today the abandoned sheds reiMind us of the lost glory of the district.
