Nourishing Bengal’s Economy: The Food Park at Sujalaam Skycity

Since its inception, Sujalaam Skycity has gone from strength to strength.

The latest feather in its proverbial cap is a proposed food park within its precincts, which, when set up, will be one of its kind in the state, if not the country.

The food park in Sujalaam Skycity will offer a host of benefits unique to the aerotropolis.

To begin with, industrial land in the park will be available at 50% of the price that one would have to pay in and around Kolkata. Also, the park will be located only 182 kilometers away from Kolkata, which means a three-hour drive from the city, right on National Highway 2.

This gives the food park a great vantage point; since such a central location would effectively open up a market not only in the surrounding districts, but the Northeast and Bangladesh as well.

These advantages will be further bolstered by an abundance of raw material in this area. The region is renowned for copious production of rice, flour, potato, sugar, fruits and vegetables. Therefore, raw material can be easily and locally procured here, bringing down logistical cost.

Also, the areas in and around the Burdwan district are already renowned as food processing hubs.

The existing cluster of units will go a long way towards developing the food processing industry at the Food Park in Sujalaam Skycity. Such units encompass various sectors such as rice mills, edible oil extraction and packaging, cereals and pulses and bakery items and employ nearly 5,000 people. This large workforce will be instrumental in setting up the cornerstones of the food processing industry in the park.

The Food Park at Sujalaam will also be supported by a world-class infrastructure. It will be part of an international-standard integrated Greenfield township with an airport and set up in a non-polluting industrial zone. Social infrastructure such as medical institutions, retail hubs, the hospitality industry, ultra-modern office spaces and affordable housing for labour will support it.

The park will be supplied with 17 million litres of water per day and powered by round-the-clock electricity.

Remaining true to its vision of creating a resurgent Bengal in the coming years, Sujalaam Skycity will leave no stone unturned in creating a niche for itself in the food industry as well.

The backbone of development: Sujalaam develops robust infrastructure

Nobody can stand tall without a backbone and that applies as much to cities as it does to human beings. Sujalaam Skycity has always aimed to stand very, very tall in the India of tomorrow.
It is exemplified by the rigour with which its mother company, Bengal AerotropolisProjects Ltd, has undertaken infrastructure development within the project’s boundaries.
L&T, unquestionably a leader in their field, have undertaken much of the work and, thanks to superior knowhow, skill set and cutting-edge technology, has completed a huge chunk of it.
Among various aspects of the development, the necessity to build adequate road surface both within and out of the Skycity was deemed one of the most important tasks at hand. Around 25km of trunk roads and 15kms of neighborhood have been planned within the project area.
In the initial phase, construction of such roads will be limited to bituminous layer in two of four lanes, or development up to Wet Mix Macadam. The tentative length of such development is going to be about 14 and 9km, respectively.
The Skycity will also need adequate water once it starts running on all cylinders. Therefore, the approximate length of pipes of different diameter to be laid along the trunk and neighborhood roads for potable and recycled water is going to exceed 130km. The aerotropolis will receive water from the Durgapur Municipal Corporation (DMC), which will supply 4MGD during peak demand.
Pipes have already been laid up to the project battery and a pumping station will soon be commissioned. An overhead reservoir is also being constructed and a central reservoir will soon be built. The industrial and the institutional areas already have a steady supply of water from the Airport Network.
Sujalaam will have its own robust storm water drainage network, which will be around 60-km long. Around 30km of this network has already been completed. The trunk routes and neighbourhood areas would also call for a more than 30-km-long sewerage network, of which 14km is already under construction.
To charge up life and commerce at the futuristic township, massive electrical supply facilities would be imperative. Of the five 11kV substations that have been proposed, one has already been commissioned through India Power. Every facility that is up and running within the Skycity now get powered by this substation.
What’s more, a boundary wall is gradually replacing the Skycity’s erstwhile 6-km-long fence.
Also, 6 kilometer of cable has been laid up to the Airport Passenger Terminal Building. To highlight its importance, it would probably suffice to mention that the Reliance Jio service was launched here even before its experimental launch in the rest of the country! This service will be extended to other areas of the township, once subterranean infrastructure works are completed.
Sujalaam Skycity is rising higher and higher, because its backbone is getting stronger and stronger.

Sujalaam Skycity: Where knowledge soars!

How can a township that promises to herald in Bengal’s bright future be complete without a robust educational infrastructure?

Keeping in mind the fact that Sujalaam Skycity is aimed at becoming the perfect blend of life and work, it is but obvious that the aerotropolis will make sure its young residents are geared up for the bright and challenging future ahead.

Therefore, cutting-edge institutions in and around the Skycity will serve the dual purpose of both fuelling the industrial and commercial zones coming up within the township through a steady supply of bright and accomplished leaders and also set an example of first-rate education in the State.

Just to put things in perspective, it has to be mentioned that the township already has 17 engineering colleges, two deemed universities, 18 polytechnics and management institutes within its immediate and extended catchment area. These formidable institutions produce over 15,000 English-speaking graduates per annum, of whom around 80% are from technical streams.

A four-hour drive from the Skycity will take you to Kharagpur IIT, the world-famous seat of learning.  Visva-Bharati, one of the Nation’s largest Central Government-funded autonomous universities set up by none other than Rabindranath Tagore himself, neighbours the aerotropolis.

In Dhanbad, only 89 kilometers away, are the Indian School of Mines, Central Mining Research Institute and Central Fuel Research Institute.

Sujalaam’s Education Skycity, which will cater to about 15,000 students, will complement this array of mighty educational establishments.

Realising its potential as a thriving hub of life and work in the coming years, the Narayana Group of Educational Institutions is already coming up with a Boarding School at Sujalaam Skycity to further bolster the region’s education scenario.

Narayana Group, which is Asia’s largest educational conglomerate with more than 300,000 students in over 500 centres, is spread across 13 states. In the Skycity, the group has already begun constructing a Day Boarding School on 3.25 acres, a vast enterprise in its own right.

Clearly, the first chapter of a glorious history of skills and knowledge is already being written at Sujalaam Skycity.
