Medak
District Potentiality Report
-
Medak
is a backward district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, lying
close to the capital city of Hyderabad. The district is
characterized by a huge percentage (80%) of population being
dependent on agriculture. But for a few pockets which have
a large concentration of industries, like Patancheru,
Ramachandrapuram, Zaheerabad, Sangareddy, Siddipet, etc,
industrial activity is very less.

The
district stands second to Ranga Reddy, in the number of
Large and Medium enterprises, yet, the advantages of linkage
has not taken place.

Interior mandals of the district are saddled with poor
literacy rates, low per capita income, and lack of
entrepreneurship among the people.

Resource endowment of the district is good, with main crops
being rice, maize, jowar, sugarcane and chillies. A part of
this produce can be processed in the district for value
addition. Other areas where industrial exploitation of
resources can be undertaken are poultry sector, cultivation
of aromatic plants, horticulture produce, dairy development,
etc.

Backward and forward linkages are to be established and
strengthened, and vendor development is to be encouraged to
cash in on the benefit of having a large concentration of
Large and Medium industries.
