Chandrapur. With the aim of providing employment to the youth, the government has started many such schemes like Make in India, Startup. Despite this, the number of unemployed is increasing in the country, such a survey is visible in the survey of the Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE).
There is a MIDC campus in Sindewahi Tehsil, there is not a single industry and company till date. Due to this the whole campus is deserted. There is a warehouse of Indane Company and a small closed brick factory. Because of this, employment is not available in the tehsil. In search of employment, youth have to go to cities like Pune, Nashik, Hyderabad. Due to the migration of youth in search of employment, the production of traditional farming has been declining for the last two years, one of the main reasons for this is also believed to be corona infection. Because of this the farmer is worried.
Every year the number of unemployed is increasing rapidly due to the difference between the youth who come out in search of employment after getting education and employment opportunities. Since there is no industry in Sindewahi Tehsil, most of the people are dependent on agriculture business. But sometimes there is heavy loss of paddy, the main crop of the tehsil, due to excessive rain and sometimes scanty rain. This year, due to flooding of fields due to unseasonal rains, there has been a significant decline in the production of paddy and it is difficult for the farmers to meet the cost of paddy.
For industrial development in the Sindewahi campus, it is necessary for an industry to come to the premises. But due to non-establishment of any industrial unit in MIDC till date, the complex has not been developed till date. Agriculture is the main industry of this complex. But due to lack of irrigation facility, farmers also get frustrated. Due to this, the farmers are living a life of poverty in despair.
Today unemployment has become a major problem not only in Vidarbha but in the country. This problem has become even worse during the Corona period, due to the closure of many industrial units, thousands of people are still unemployed. Keeping in mind the natural resources available on the table of Vidarbha, if you plan any industry in the tehsil, then there will be no need to go to other state and district by providing new employment opportunities to the unemployed. But this requires strong political will.
