Abstract

The Cauvery River is the biggest river in south India. The Cauvery river basin flows through districts such as Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tirupur, Erode, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Salem, Namakkal, Karur, Dindigul, Pudukottai, Trichirappalli, Perambalur, Ariyalur Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Cuddalore and Nagapattinam in the state Tamil Nadu. The study area is between latitudes 76” 2’E, 79”8’ E and 12”7’ N, 10”14 N longitudes. The secondary data collected from the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium enterprises (MSME) and statistical hand book of Cauvery basin districts. The data which collected are Food based, Textile based, Readymade garment and Embroidery, Forest based, Leather based, Chemical based, Plastic & Rubber based, Mineral based, Engineering based, Electrical & Electronics based and others industries. In this article, the industrial combination in the Tamil Nadu Cauvery Basin is outlined, followed by the discussion on the area using Doi’s method industrial combination analysis. The study of industrial combination is very significant for any particular region because it provides an idea about the relative position of industries which is necessary for future development of industries in Tamil Nadu Cauvery basin.

Summary

Introduction

Manufacturing industry is the processing of primary products into more refined and usable products. Many of the natural resources cannot be utilized directly without processing Because of this reason, we manufacture cloth from cotton, sugar from sugarcane, paper from wood pulp, and petro chemicals from mineral oil. Industrial revolution in Europe resulted in modern factories With this the scale of manufacturing goods increased tremendously leading to mechanization. Inter war period: Indian industries made rapid strides during the 1 world war (191418) due to rise in demand for industrial goods by the Armed Forces. The real spurt was provided by Indian Fiscal commission set up in 1921-22. This gave the much needed protection to industries like iron, steel, textile, cement, sugar, paper and metals.
