Mission

Infrastructure Facilities

The Society May have to develop necessary infrastructure facilities, like Hospital,Technical and Agricultural College etc. Power Project, Ethanol Project.

Tribal Dominated

The Co-Operative society’s members are mostly tribals. It is noteworthy to see that it is the only Co-Operative society located in tribal dominated area of Mandvi Taluka. The rawmaterial i.e. sugarcane is supplied by these tribal grower members. The society is confident to pay the maximum possible cane price to its grower members. The society intends to install a 2500 TCD plant in this region. The proposed factory will produce of the crystal sugar. It will provide inducement to sugarcane grower to adopt better practices to get more output.

Realization of such attractive returns of their agro products will improve their economic conditions which will again result into increasing their agricultural productivity.

After start up of this cooperative sugar mill the economic conditions of tribals will improve substantially, since it will help to sell their agricultural produce and provides job opportunity during seasons. Thus the sugar factory acts as a catalyst for improving socio – economic conditions of tribals.

Potential for Cultivating Sugarcane

There will be 188 villages falling under the command area of proposed sugar factory. Part of these villages also falls in command area of nearby sugar factories. Even though if we deduct the area falling under command area of other sugar cooperatives, still there is more than enough area to produce sugarcane. The availability of land and irrigation potential available in the area of proposed sugar cooperative society.

There is a great potential available for growing more sugarcane. In summing up, it can be safely concluded that the society can get sufficient sugarcane for crushing. Due to development of factory, automatically, the living standards of the grower members will improve which justifies the proposal.

In the area of operation of the Mandvi Sugar Factory Govt. has proposed to construct Right Bank Canal and to extend the irrigation facilities of 9,900 Hectors. Which will benefit the cultivation of sugarcane and the farmers of Mandvi Taluka residing in the northern villages.
