New Delhi: Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh is contemplating ambitious plan to turn ‘laggard’ Bundelkhand into ‘money-spinning’ region of the state.
The state government has proposed to build largest yeast production centre in Bundelkhand, which in turn will generate more than 5,000 employment opportunities. The yeast production unit, estimated at a cost of Rs 400 crore is likely to generate more than 5,000 direct employment while 25,000 indirect job opportunities.
Further, opening up new avenues of growth in the region, the Yogi govt has planned better infrastructure for sugarcane and wheat farmers.
The state government has allotted land in Chitrakoot for setting up industry for British company AB Mauri. With an investment of Rs 400 crores, the company is going to make the largest yeast production center in Bundelkhand.
The company will buy crops directly from the farmers of Bundelkhand for making yeast
Turning ‘infamous’ Bundelkhand into employment hotspot
The ravines of Bundelkhand, which were hitherto infamous for the notorious dacoits will turn into an employment hotspot, thanks to the efforts of Yogi government.
UPSIDA has allotted 68 acres of land to the British company AB Mauri in Bargarh, Chitrakoot as part of the process of providing industrial investment and employment in Bundelkhand. The company applied in November 2020 in UPSIDA through Invest Mitra, in view of the Yogi government’s new industrial investment policy and the simple process of ease of doing business.
Taking this proposal of investment in Bundelkhand forward, the state government accepted the mega unit application and allotted the land through Nivesh Mitra in a record time of 15 days. The company will set up a large Baker’s yeast (yeast production) unit in Bargarh, Chitrakoot.
The company will produce 33000 million tonnes of yeast under the Zero Liquid Discharge Project by installing German and Spanish machines.
AB Mauri is one of the world’s largest companies in the food yeast production industry. The company is a British Foods Group company with a turnover of $ 1. 2 billion. It owns 52 plants in 32 countries and 45% of the world’s yeast production market. The large investment of the world class big company in Bundelkhand is considered as a big success of the Yogi government.
This will provide employment to the people of Bundelkhand, while a large path of economic and social development will also be ready. In future, there will be more investment possibilities in Bundelkhand. Along with the allotment of land, the company has also started the process of building the unit. Within the next few months, the company is working on the goal of starting yeast production.
Sugarcane and wheat will be used as the main crop by the yeast Production Unit. This will directly benefit the nearby farmers including Bundelkhand.
The company will buy sugarcane and wheat produce directly from farmers. A new image of Bundelkhand will also emerge in the world with the new recognition of the local markets and mandi’s of Bundelkhand.
