Anantapur MP constituency gets a raw deal in industry development
Except in Tadipatri, there are no major industries in Anantapur parliamentary constituency though it has all institutions of higher learning.
Besides Kia Motors, hundreds of ancillary industries are expected to come up in Hindupur Parliamentary constituency.
Anantapur: The youth of Anantapur district are demanding establishment of industries in Anantapur Parliamentary constituency as not a single industry is operating in the constituency, with the exception of Tadipatri where a couple of cement companies had been established decades ago.
The state government is planning new industrial projects only in Hindupur Lok Sabha constituency. Along with already established Kia Motors in Hindupur parliamentary constituency, hundreds of ancillary industries are likely to come up in that constituency.
Incidentally, all universities and other centres of learning are located in Anantapur Revenue division and all industries are located in Hindupur division. However the proposed bifurcation of the district, into Anantapur and Hindupur, by Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy will bring injustice to Anantapur.
All the industries will go to Hindupur district and all centres of higher learning will remain in Anantapur district. Besides, the youth of Anantapur district will have no chance to get jobs in industries as they will be treated as non-locals.
The Hindupur youth who seek admissions in the three universities will also be treated as non-locals. This fear prevails in the minds of the youth of both the parliamentary constituencies.
In this context, the students and youth of Anantapur are urging MP Talari Rangaiah to use his good offices to get new industries to be established in Anantapur parliamentary constituency.
The district has four universities, SK University, JNTUA, Central University and Sathya Sai Deemed University. Energy University promised under the AP Reorganisation Act is yet to materialise.
Another prestigious institute, National Academy of Customs, Excise and Narcotics will be coming near Gorantla in Palasamudram mandal in Hindupur division.
Energy University originally planned for establishment in Penukonda had been shifted to Anantapur Revenue division. There is uncertainty over its establishment as Central government stated that the university is not feasible.
All India Students Federation state vice-president Johnson told The Hans India that there is not a single industry in Anantapur though the institutions of higher learning are located.
He urged the local MLA and MP to strive for diversion of some of the new industrial projects to Anantapur parliamentary constituency before bifurcation of the district.
