There are 87 MIDC areas in Vidarbha region including 42 in Nagpur Division and 45 in Amravati Division. According to MIDC data, these areas have a total developed area of 14,932.50 hectares. Of this, 6,211.06 hectares land has been allotted to industries. Still, 3.808.33 hectares of land is in possession of MIDC and available for allotment to industries. Recently, MIDC invited global bid for 1,320 MW thermal power plant proposed on 536 hectares of land in possession of MIDC at Bhadravati.
For industries, it is convenient to set up their units on land for which there is no need to go through long-drawn process of land acquisiton. Besides, being in assured rainfall zone, Vidarbha has rivers flowing throughout the year. Further, huge deposits of unexplored mineral wealth and road network favour possibilities of industrial investment. Skilled manpower being generated through several engineering, medical, management, and vocational education institutions also is attracting investors to the region. At present, in existing MIDC areas, 4,059 industrial units are working, states MIDC data.

Hinganghat: Here rests the great surveyor of India...

Image
  By Kartik Lokhande  Often, the work of explorers lives on but they get buried in the history. This is exactly what has happened in case of Lt Col William Lambton. The man credited with initiating one of the greatest scientific activities in the world -- The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India -- lays buried at a place now known as ‘Kala Gota’ amid a crowded locality behind Bus Stand in the town of Hinganghat in Wardha district. Sadly, the memorial of this great surveyor, whose work led to measuring the highest point on Earth 50 years later, has become a victim of neglect. And, surprisingly, not many know about it and the great significance of Hinganghat in the landmark survey.  Lambton Memorial, known locally as 'Kala Gota' in Hinganghat.

In January 1963, India was to celebrate the birth centenary of Swami Vivekananda. In down south, in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, tension was in the air over Swami Vivekananda’s memorial. There were attempts by some to claim the Rock off the shores of Tamil Nadu where Vivekananda meditated. A firm leadership is required to navigate through little storms in the journey towards realisation of a goal. Eknath Ranade, a man born in village Timtala in Amravati district of Vidarbha region in Maharashtra, was destined to be that firm leader as far as Swami Vivekananda’s memorial at Kanyakumari. Born on November 19, 1914, Eknath Ranade was the ...
