By - AHMED NOOR
Jalna is known for steel and seeds industry. It is also a citadel of political, social and cultural centre. At the same time, it has plethora problems, Absence pure drinking water and bad roads bring bad reputation. Jalna which was part of Aurangabad was formed on May 1, 1982. The district has eight tehsils including Jalna, Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Ambad, Partur, Badnapur,Mantha and Ghanswangi. Each tehsil has own significance. Jalna had a population of 235,529. Males constitute 52% of the population and females 48%. Jalna has an average literacy rate of 64%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 71%, and female literacy is 57%. Historically Jalna is known for money and gold that it was called ‘Jalna sone ka palna. Despite poor civic facilities and lack of political will, Jalna has made strides in field of industrialization and education. Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) set up new MIDC on Aurangabad road and acquired lands for first and second phase. After completing second phase, the process of third is being done, more and more industrial units are coming on third phase. The town has been well known for its hybrid seed processing industries, bidi, industry and agro based industries like dal mills, and oil mills. The seeds industries like Maharashtra Hybrid Seeds Company Limited (Mahyco), Krishidhan Seeds Private Limited and Bejo Sheetal have made earned good name across the world. The chairman of Mahyco, Badrinaryan Barwale has been honoured with Food Prize by United Nation for contribution of food for the world. Due to global competition unleashed by liberalization, many industries downed shutters but steel and seed industries have succeeded in retaining their positions. Jalna is one the growth path as far as industrial activity is concerned. The government has announced to set up bio-technology part (BT Park) at Jalna with the help of private sector units. This park give a tremendous boost to the BT sector in the backward area of Marathwada. Jalna has made ahead in production of some major fruits like sweet- orange, Mango, and grapes. Jalna has not made big strides in the field of education. Jalna is a commercial hub today and will soon boast of big industries and good education institutions. Shortage of water crippled of life of people of Jalna. People receive water once a week or 10 days. Industrial units are hit due to shortage water. Despite expending crore of rupees on water, the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation has failed to provide water. There are 200 industrial units in which 45 steel industries. The industrial needs 3 MLT water but the MIDC hardly provide 1 MLT water as result industrial units face acute shortage water.
