3.5 ANIMAL HUSBANDARY4

Animal husbandry sector is of vital importance in generating additional employment Opportunities

and supplementing income to peoples. Mostly peasants and agricultural Laborers are engaged in

cattle rearing and allied activities. According to 18th quinquennial Census 2007 cattles, chickens,

pigs, goats and dogs are the five best backyard livestock animal.

According to the Livestock Census of 1993 the milch animals (cows and buffaloes) accounted for a

total of 4.90 lakh animals in district Bulandshahr. The total population of cows and buffaloes are

165102 and 1109638 respectively and breedable cows and buffaloes are 57356 and 576596

respectively. Besides this district have 8073 sheep, 169199 goats and 39277 pigs. The production of

meat is estimated about 6.72 lakh kg. This area has scope to develop in the district. Poultry is another

area which has a great scope. There were 182398 birds which produced around 132.28 lakh eggs per

year. There is a good demand in the district itself and in Delhi which is near to the district. Therefore,

there is no marketing problem and also no feeding problem. Thus great potential is seen in this sector

Another area which has sufficient potential is fisheries. The district has 50 ponds with an area of 850

ha. Of which 467 ha have been developed and remaining 45 per cent is to be developed. These ponds

are controlled by Gram Panchayats. It is important to highlight that Bulandshahr district is known as

Milk Belt of U.. It is a subsidiary occupation and involves a sizeable population of rural areas.

There are 887 milk producers societies and 13 milk routes covering 950 villages. Near about 24

private dairy plants are working and they producing cheese, ghee and butter, etc. Marketing of milk

and milk products is no problem in the district.

Issue- Infrastructure, Lack of proper training, Ignorance of commercialization & Lack ofentrepreneurship.

Potential- Backyard livestock and poultry rearing, Opening of livestock farm, Location of milkchilling plant & Scope for subsidiary occupation.

Future needs and requirements-Technical assistance, Increase in fodder crops & Animalhealth and insurance cover.

POTENTIAL IN DIFFERENT SECTORS

4.1 PHYSICAL FEATURES

Bulandshahr district is situated between Ganga and Yamuna rivers & lies between at 28o22 to 28o

25 North Latitude and 77o49 to 77o52 East longitude. It is bounded on the West by Upper Ganga

Canal & on the East by Existing Industrial Units & proposed Group Housings. On the South & North

directions there are large farm lands & orchards. Consequently, the growth of the town is open

mainly towards South-east direction.

4.2 CLIMATIC STUDY

The climate of Bulandshahr is hot & humid in summers (reaching a maximum of 420 C) while the

winter months are extreme cool (reaching a minimum of 40 C). Dust and thunderstorms occur

frequently in summer season while occasional fog occurs in the winter.

4.3 RESIDENTIAL AREA

The total area under residential use is 274.12 Hact., which comprises of 24.08 % of the total landuse.Development of government & private functions generated a demand for housing of government

employees & private employees.

As the NCR Planning Board has proposed several projects in this region & it is already a large

Commercial Centre therefore in this region housing demand will raise in coming time.

4.4 COMMERCIAL AREA

In Bulandshahr, shops are relatively adequate most of them being retail shop. It has followed the

same pattern as seen in most of the other towns in the country. Grain trading & Handicrafts (zari

work) are the main activities which play an important role in the citys economy.Shops have come

up along the major arteries of movement & the core area of the city & there is no organized shopping

centre except Ansari road & Chowk Bazaar. Total area under commercial use is 60.32 Hect., which

comprises of 5.30 % of the total landuse. Potential is there for new organized markets.

4.5 INDUSTRIAL AREA

However there is potential for agro based small scale industries there is no industrial estate in the

city. Due to lack of power entrepreneurship & mobilization of industrial infrastructure, no industrial

estates have been established. Total area under industries is 57.35 Hact., which is 5.04 % percent of

the total landuse area. There is possibility of establishing agro based & resource based industrial

estate in the city to meet the immediate need of the people.

4.6 INSTITUTIONAL AREA

Institution from the development point of view includes schools, colleges, hospitals, hostels, cultural

& historical places. There is scope for expansion of these institutions like cultural centre, community

hall, cinema hall & a number of other educational institutions are coming up which will require a

considerable portion of the development. Total area under institutional is 113.16 Hact., which is

9.94 % percent of the total landuse area.

4.7 RECREATIONAL AREA

Though Bulandshahr is the districts headquarter there are not many facilities for recreation. At

present there are very limited options of play lots. That is why children used to play wherever they

want which is insecure. Therefore proper assessment should be made for proposing more areas under

recreational use. Total area under recreation is 66.02 Hact., which is 5.80 % percent of the total

landuse area.

4.8CONCLUSIONDue to rapid establishment of different industrial units & retail shops, the construction could not

keep pace with the rapid expansion. Moreover land for several activities like institutions has almost

reached its saturation point.

From the above analysis we find that almost all the developable areas in the existing area have

developed during the past two decades. This is due to haphazard growth & development of different

areas. Activities will continue as long as urban continue.
