FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO INDUSTRIES.
With its extensive forest and rich resources, Chandrapur
district offers ample opportunities for development of industries. But owing to the lack of communications it remained industrially backward during the pre-Independence period.
After Independence industrial development was accorded priority in the Plans of the Government. Accordingly, the development of major industries in the district was assigned to the Central Government whereas the promotion and development of small-scale industries became a subject under the jurisdiction of the State.
The State grants financial assistance to artisans and their co-operative societies under various schemes to start new industries or to support the existing ones.
After the formation of the Zilla Parishad these schemes were transferred from the State sector to the Zilla Parishad for implementation. These schemes include: -
(1) Financial Assistance to Industrial Co-operatives including Handicraft Societies.
(2) Financial Assistance to Industrial Co-operatives of Backward Classes [only subsidies).
(3) Loans to Artisans under State-aid to Industries Rules.
(4) Loans to Goldsmiths affected by the Gold Control Order
for their rehabilitation.
The first two or these schemes have been transferred to the
Zilla Parishad from the Co-operative Department whereas the
rest were transferred from the Industries Department to the
Parishad.
Under the scheme of financial assistance to industrial co-operatives (including
handicraft societies), grant-in-aid for management expenses is sanctioned to industrial co-operatives during the first five years from the date of their registration. The subsidy is sanctioned only for the first three years of this period. The assistance is given at the rate of five per cent of the turnover or the actual cost of management, whichever is less. In no case, however, assistance exceeding Rs. 600 is sanctioned.
Under the scheme of Grant of Loans and Subsidies to Co-operative Societies for the purchase of tools and equipment. financial assistance is given to industrial societies for the purchase of tools and equipment. In deserving cases such assistance is rendered also to societies other than industrial co-operatives provided not less than 1/3 of their members are bona fide craftsmen. Out of the total assistance sanctioned more than 50 per cent is treated as loan and the balance as subsidy.
Under the 3rd scheme, viz., the financial assistance for construction of sheds, godowns and workshops, an industrial society is sanctioned financial assistance to the extent of Rs. 9,000 for construction of a godown or workshop. One-fourth of the cost of construction or Rs. 3,000, whichever is less, is treated as subsidy.
Under the last scheme, viz., financial assistance for organisation of handicrafts co-operatives, an industrial co-operative society formed by the handicraft workers engaged in one of the industries approved by the All-India Handicrafts Board is sanctioned for a period of three years. This subsidy is meant for management expenses only.
Loans to Individual Artisans under State-aid to Industries Rules. -Under this scheme the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad. is authorised to sanction a sum not exceeding Rs. 3,000 in the form of loans to individual artisans for promoting small-scale industries. The loans are sanctioned subject to the provisions of State-aid to Industries Act and Rules framed thereunder.
Loans to Goldsmiths affected by Gold Control Order.-This scheme aims at rehabilitating the goldsmiths affected by the Gold Control Order. The loans are also sanctioned subject to the provisions of the State-aid to Industries Act and Rules thereunder.
The amounts of loans and subsidies given under the various schemes mentioned above are given in the following statement: -

As Chandrapur is not a coastal district, the scope of developing the fishing industry is restricted to inland fisheries. The activities of the Department of Fisheries in this district, therefore, mainly relate to stocking of inland waters with fish and other
fisheries schemes.
