The people of Jharsuguda who are witnessing this fast emerging cosmopolitan town as the new economic hub of Odisha need an uninterrupted blog page to reflect upon their views. This is what many of my friends suggested when I told them about this blog. They are upbeat and so am I.
From Tata refractory Ltd. near Belpahar, Orient Paper mills, Brajrajnagar and Ultratech cement factories, the industrial era was pillared here but mainly in the last decade (2001-2010). Bhushan steel and power Ltd, SPS, JSPL, ESPL and now Vedanta have made Jharsuguda to realize as an industrial city. Vedanta group is moving ahead to establish a 2MTPA Aluminium plant, Captive power plant and an Independent power plant of 2400MW which seems to be a very large project at a single location.
Certainly, we can feel the dynamic changes in the society may be in terms of infrastructure, shopping centres, education, medical facilities and agricultural process but simultaneously the raising problem of dust, smoke, stealing activities, expensive life style, can also be noticed due to these industries.
We know industrialisation has its own pros and cons. Development has many synonyms but for me from a low cultivating land to a paled paddy field is the real development. From a mud lane to a concrete road in the village is the development. If a drop of tear can be wiped from a mother’s eye resulting treatment of her child that is development. If the education yardstick, its value and importance can be nourished in a child of a remote area, that is development. We all unanimously agree that Jharsuguda is a much familiar word worldwide only for its rapid development due to industrialisation within a short instance.
Now the time is here to reanalyse the scenario; whether the industrialisation is beneficial or not for this vicinity???
