STRENGTHS

 WEAKNESS

·         Well connected by Railways and    Roadways

·         The land is fertile for agriculture    due to the presence of rivers.

·         The soil is very suitable for paddy     production.

·         Increased revenue from Mineral Royalty

·         The average cost of land per Ha is much lower than similar places in other neighboring states.

·         It being a land locked State the export/import activities are hampered.

·         Markets are not well developed

·         Most of the employment opportunities are due to forest and agricultural sources that varies as per climatic conditions.

·         Education facilities in the state are not evenly developed in all the districts.

 OPPORTUNITIES

THREATS

• Measures should be taken to promote export-processing units to assist export-import activities, especially for food-processed products with the aid of APFDA.

• The densely forested areas in State provides opportunities for setting forest based industries

• The main source of livelihood is from agricultural field.

• There are many Tourist spots in the state

• The four lines NH connecting Mumbai to Kolcatta, which is passing through CG state, will open new opportunities.

·           Ecological Imbalance-There is the possibility of creating an     ecological imbalance because of felling of trees, changing topography of the land, utilization of large quantity of ground water, digging of mines etc.

·           Pollution-Creation of unacceptable levels of pollution in water, sound and air etc by the industries can be health hazard to men and animals.

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESS

·         CG State is the agricultural state.  Due to this, there is good scope for agro-based industries.

·         Rich in Mineral wealth  (CG State stood second in the country by producing minerals worth Rs. 4200 crore)

·         The density of population is much lower than the country population density.  Hence free land is available for industrialization.

·         .Abundant forest resources: - Almost 44% of the area of the state is covered by forest.  Ample scope for wooden and forest based industries.

·         The state produces considerable quantities of horticultural products like, Mango, Papaya, etc

·         Proximity of promotion agencies.

·         Well-established Industrial Estates/development plots.

·         Regular flights to metro cities.

·         Visible presence of a series of opportunities in Dairy farming

·         Agriculture &  Horticulture  have  not

       been  effectively  exploited.

.

·         Non-farm  activities  have  not been     diversified

·         Lack  of  industrial  culture  and  procedural  awareness

·         Agriculture  is  the  main  activity  of  the  State.  The farmers are not  interested  in  industrial  activity.

·         Technical Educational Facilities in the State is not well developed.

·        The small land holding is very common due to family divisions.  There is more number of marginal farmers. It is very uneconomical leading to increasing unemployment.

·        The inadequacy of water conservation, storage and drawl systems precludes for most people and areas the possibility of a second crop

·        Mining of the mineral is being done in a very unorganized non-commercial manner.

OPPORTUNITIES

THREATS

ü       Road Network-

The 4 lines N H, which is passing through State, will open new opportunities

ü       Availability of highly skilled manpower will computer related activities such as software development.

ü       Scope for consumer products-

CG is one of rich state of country because of the agriculture income and mining income.  The purchasing power of people is very high and there is scope for production and marketing consumer products.

ü       Scope for packing materials-

The packing materials required for major Industries are coming from other states.  There is enough scope for setting up some packing material unit.

·         There is increasing unemployment due to over dependability on agriculture, which is seasonal activity.

·         Ecological Imbalance-There is the possibility of creating an     ecological imbalance because of felling of trees, changing topography of the land, utilization of large quantity of ground water, digging of mines etc.

·         Pollution-Creation of unacceptable levels of pollution in water, sound and air etc by the industries can be health hazard to living beings.

·        High cost of living- The influx and migration of large work force may create pressures on land, housing and other facilities.  Cost of land and construction cost of building may go up.  The resulting high cost of living may be un bearable to the existing local people.

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESS

·         NO water transport available. It’s a landlocked district.

·         Entrepreneurs need proper guidance and training to diverse in industrial field from agro based or family businesses.

·         Lack of skilled manpower.

·        Lack of proper database:-

The  State/District  lacks a  proper  data        bank and  hence  entrepreneurs  are unable  to do market  survey  for  identification  of products.

·        Lack of traditional entrepreneurs  in the State.

·       Scarcity of primary raw material

OPPORTUNITIES

THREATS

·         Lot of scope for improving the industrial infrastructure and incentives for attracting potential industries.

·         Opportunities available for setting up resource based industries as its still in the budding stage.

·          Setting up growth centers.

·         To lure prospective local/outside entrepreneurs extensive product cum process oriented EDPs should be organized.

·         Export promotional activities to be organized.

·         Ecological Imbalance-There is the possibility of creating an     ecological imbalance because of felling of trees, changing topography of the land, utilization of large quantity of ground water, digging of mines etc.

·         Pollution-Creation of unacceptable levels of pollution in water, sound and air etc by the industries can be health hazard to living beings.

·         High cost of living- The influx and migration of large work force may create pressures on land, housing and other facilities.  Cost of land and construction cost of building may go up.  The resulting high cost of living may be un bearable to the existing local people.

Slowness and inertia in taking adequate                                         and timely steps will result in the opportunities being converted to their advantage by neighboring states.
