Industries urge for infrastructure boost to tackle labour shortage
Indore: Associations representing both industries and workers have called for urgent measures to create a more favourable environment for the workforce. Industries stressed the pressing need for improved infrastructure and support systems to retain employees and reduce migration to urban centres. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Pithampur Audhyogik Sangathan has highlighted the necessity of developing accommodation facilities for approximately 50,000 workers in Pithampur. The orgnisation preisdent Gautam Kothari said, "Commuting from Indore to Pithampur is tiring and time-consuming. Daily, thousands of workers travel from Indore to Pithampur, and enhancing transport facilities, along with providing secure housing and essential services like hospitals and schools, can significantly improve workers' satisfaction and retention. " MPIDC is developing a 1,700 bed working women hostel in Pithampur. A well-built ecosystem in the form of accommodation, transport facilities, and healthcare will attract the workforce and help retain them, said workers' leaders. Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), Madhya Pradesh general secretary Shyam Sunder Yadav said, "The need is to creating a supportive environment that not only attracts new talent, but also encourages existing workers to remain in their positions. It takes more than an hour to travel one side to Pithampur, and long traffic jams make it worse. Accommodation, hospitals, and schools are the basic needs that should be present in any industrial belt. " Industry representatives from Dewas advocated for a strategic approach to workforce development and suggested implementation of a 'hire and train' model, targeting students from Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) to prepare them according to industry requirements. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "This model not only addresses the immediate hiring needs but also contributes to a more skilled workforce for the future. We cannot afford to wait while the labour crisis deepens. Establishing these ITIs swiftly is crucial for our long-term growth," said Association of Industries Dewas president Ashok Khandelia. Industry leaders insisted that action must be expedited to set up 22 new ITIs announced by the govt in the 2025 budget announcement. To further support the workforce, establishment of Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) hospitals within industrial belts has been proposed to provide essential healthcare services to workers, said industries.

The infrastructure project aims to enhance connectivity between Pithampur, airport, and other key urban areas, thereby promoting commercial and industrial activities in the state. MPIDC, Indore executive director Himanshu Prajapati said, "The layout for the proposed 19.60 km Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor has been finalised, and with this, the process of land pooling has started. Consents for more than 250 acre reached us, and we are actively collecting documents from the landowners. " The corridor, stretching 20 km in length and 75 metre in width, will encompass both govt and private lands, with an expected extension of 300 metre on either side. The project carries an estimated cost exceeding Rs 2,400 crore. MPIDC has published the plot numbers of lands from 17 villages, including Kordiabardi, Nainod, Rinjalay, Bisnavada, Navadapanth, Shriram Talavali, Sindoda, Sindodi, Shivkheda, Narlay, Mokalay, Dehri, Sonvay, Bhainslay, Bagoda, Tihi, and Dhannad. Under the Land Pooling Act, there is currently a provision to return 50 per cent of the land to its owners. However, for the Economic Corridor, chief minister Mohan Yadav in March announced the allocation of 60 per cent of the total developed land to the farmers. "As the land acquisition process gains momentum, anticipation builds around the potential economic benefits that the Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor will unlock, paving the way for enhanced industrial growth and job creation in the region. The coming months will be crucial as MPIDC continues its efforts to realise this ambitious infrastructure project," said Prajapati.
